|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Triple Oral Therapy (Macitentan, Tadalafil, and Selexipag) | Participants received macitentan oral tablet, 10 milligrams (mg) once daily and tadalafil oral tablet, 20 mg, once daily from Day 1 up to End of treatment (10 months after last participant was enrolled). Tadalafil was up-titrated from 20 mg to 40 mg on Day 8.
