WHO-FC for participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) ranges: Class I (no limitation in physical activity, ordinary physical activity did not cause undue dyspnea or fatigue, chest pain or near syncope), Class II (slight limitation of physical activity, comfortable at rest, ordinary physical activity caused undue dyspnea or fatigue, chest pain, or near syncope), Class III (marked limitation of physical activity, comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes undue dyspnea or fatigue, chest pain, or near syncope) and Class IV (cannot perform a physical activity without any symptoms, signs of right heart failure, dyspnea and/or fatigue may be present even at rest, discomfort is increased by any physical activity). Participants who improve in WHO FC are reported below. Improvement was defined as reduction in FC.

Panama FC for PAH ranges: Class I (asymptomatic, growing normally, attending nursery/school regularly, no limitation of physical activity, playing sports with his/her classmates), Class II (slight limitation of physical activity, unduly dyspnoeic and fatigued when playing with his/her classmates, comfortable at rest, grow along own centiles, nursery/school attendance 75% normal, no chest pain), Class IIIa (marked limitation of physical activity, no attempt at sports, comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity (example: dressing) causes undue dyspnea, fatigue, syncope and/or presyncope or chest pain, nursery/schooling compromised \<50% normal attendance), Class IIIb (growth compromised, poor appetite, supplemental feeding, same as class IIIa) and Class IV (cannot perform a physical activity without any symptoms, dyspnea at rest). Participants who improve in Panama FC are reported below. Improvement was defined as reduction in Panama FC.

Change from baseline to Weeks 24 and 52 in 6MWD as measured by 6MWT was reported. 6MWD was the distance that a participant could walk in 6 minutes. Rest periods were allowed if the participant could no longer continue. If the participant need to rest, he/she may pause, lean against the wall and continue walking whenever he/she feels able. The timer continued to run even if the participant stopped to rest.

Change from baseline to Weeks 12, 24, 28, 40, and 52 in NT-proBNP was reported.

Change from baseline to Weeks 12, 24, and 52 in TAPSE was reported. It was calculated as: original TAPSE value/body surface area (BSA). TAPSE was a dimension used to evaluate Right Ventricle (RV) longitudinal systolic function; it measured the extent of systolic motion of the lateral portion of the tricuspid ring towards the apex.

Change from baseline to Weeks 12, 24, and 52 in LVEI was reported. It included diastolic (D) LVEI and systolic (S) LVEI. Left ventricular (LV) internal diameters were measured using the parasternal short axis view at the level of the papillary muscles: D1: LV internal diameter perpendicular to interventricular septum at end-diastole; D2: LV internal diameter parallel to interventricular septum, and at right angle from D1, at end-diastole; S1: LV internal diameter perpendicular to interventricular septum at end-systole; S2: LV internal diameter parallel to interventricular septum, and at a right angle from S1, at end-systole. The LVEI was a ratio that was calculated by sponsor as: LVEI diastole = D2/D1; LVEI systole = S2/S1.

Change from baseline to Weeks 12, 24, and 52 in QoL as assessed by PedsQL 4.0 generic core scales SF-15 was reported. The PedsQL 4.0 questionnaire generic core scales score SF-15 assessed general physical, emotional, social and school functioning on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 to 4 with 0= if it is never a problem, 1= if it is almost never a problem, 2= if it is sometime a problem, 3= if it is often a problem, 4 if it is almost always a problem. Scores were transformed on a scale from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicated better health related QoL. The QoL questionnaire was completed by parent(s)/caregiver(s) and by participants.

Change from baseline to Weeks 12, 24, and 52 in physical activity as measured by accelerometry: number of hours of daytime activity was reported.

Change from baseline to Weeks 12, 24, and 52 in physical activity as measured by accelerometry: mean count per minute of daily activity was reported.

Change from baseline to Weeks 12, 24, and 52 in physical activity as measured by accelerometry: mean daily time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity was reported.

Change from baseline to Weeks 24 and 52 in BDI was reported. BDI was a 10-point scale rating the maximum level of dyspnea experienced during the 6MWT. Scores ranged from 0 (no shortness of breath) to 10 (worst shortness of breath you have ever had). Higher score indicated worse outcome.

Number of participants with TEAEs was reported. An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product.

TEAEs are defined as any AE occurring at or after the initial administration of study intervention through the day of last dose plus 30 days.

Number of participants with TESAEs was reported. An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product.

A SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. TESAEs are defined as any SAE occurring at or after the initial administration of study intervention through the day of last dose plus 30 days.

Number of participants with AEs leading to premature discontinuation of study drug was reported. An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention.
