Today, the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson have announced the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The application seeks approval for an investigational single tablet combination therapy of macitentan 10mg and tadalafil 40mg (M/T STCT) as a long-term treatment option for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Specifically, it targets adult patients with WHO functional class (FC) II-III, belonging to the World Health Organization (WHO) Group 1. The submission is supported by positive results from the Phase 3 A DUE study, where M/T STCT demonstrated significant improvements in pulmonary hemodynamics, surpassing the effects of macitentan and tadalafil monotherapies within this PAH patient population.
