Pediatric population (birth to under 18 years). Informed consent must be signed by parents or legal representatives and written assent is required from appropriately aged participants; age-specific assent/ICF documents are provided (assent forms for age groups such as 7-10, 11-13, 14-17 and parent/legal representative ICFs). Multiple language materials are provided (e.g., German, French, Spanish, Hungarian, Slovak) and specific child/parent materials and data protection documents are listed.

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- 1. Signed informed consent by the parents or the legal representatives and written assent from appropriately aged participants\n- 2. Males or females from birth to under 18 years of age at the time informed consent was signed\n- 3. Confirmed diagnosis of severe PAH classified as PH Group 1 requiring a treatment with prostacyclin infusion\n- 4. Current diagnosis of PAH confirmed by right heart catheterisation (RHC) at screening or by historical RHC prior to screening with following haemodynamic findings: •\tMean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) >20 mmHg •\tPulmonary vascular resistance Index (PVRI) >3 Wood Units (WU) m² If RHC is not possible due to medical reasons (e.g. neonates and infants), the confirmation by ECHO at the screening is sufficient.\n- 5. PAH-treatment naïve or pretreated patients\n- 6. A subject is eligible to participate in this study, as assessed by the investigator, if they are of: •\tNon-childbearing potential (i.e., physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant); or, •\tChild-bearing potential - has a negative pregnancy test and is not lactating and, if sexually active, agrees to continue to use 2 reliable methods of contraception until study completion and for at least 30 days following the last dose of study drug. Examples of reliable birth control methods include true abstinence as a lifestyle choice (periodic sexual abstinence method is not acceptable); the use of oral contraceptives; a reliable barrier method of birth control (diaphragms with contraceptive jelly; cervical caps with contraceptive jelly; condoms with contraceptive foam; intrauterine devices)"}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- 1. Known intolerance to prostacyclin analogues\n- 13. Other concurrent severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study\n- 14. Participation in another clinical trial of an investigational drug or device (including placebo) within 5 half-lives (max. 30 days) prior to screening\n- 3. PH related to conditions other than specified above\n- 4. Unrepaired congenital heart disease if surgery is planned within next 5 months\n- 5. Subjects diagnosed with any lung disease\n- 2. Patient receiving any other prostacyclin analogue, except parenteral treprostinil, or any prostacyclin receptor agonist within 72 hours prior to enrolment\n- 6. Acutely decompensated heart failure within previous 30 days from screening\n- 7. Subjects who have had an atrial septostomy or potts shunt within the previous 6 months of screening\n- 8. Any clinically significant laboratory abnormality that precludes initiation or continuation of treprostinil therapy\n- 9. Moderate to severe hepatic dysfunction as defined by elevated liver function tests (aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase) ≥3 times the upper limit of normal at Screening, or Child Pugh class B or C hepatic disease\n- 15. Patients not able to handle pumps and infusion site if there is no parent, family member, guardian present in their household taking over pump handling or if they are not treated in hospital set-up\n- 10. Subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding\n- 11. Haematological abnormalities (e.g., severe anaemia, Hgb <10 g/dL, leukopenia, WBC <2500/µL)\n- 12. History of substance use disorder, unless a proof of abstinence ≥1 year is provided"}
