The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the change from baseline in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), and other hemodynamic parameters, following the addition of ambrisentan to background phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitor (PDE-5i) therapy in subjects with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who have demonstrated a sub-optimal response to PDE-5i monotherapy.
The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the change from baseline in other clinical measures of PAH following the addition of ambrisentan to background PDE-5i therapy in subjects with PAH who have demonstrated a sub-optimal response to PDE-5i monotherapy.
The safety and tolerability of ambrisentan/PDE-5i combination therapy will be evaluated throughout the study. In addition, long-term efficacy will be examined.
