In the study, WINREVAIR reduced the risk of clinical worsening events by 76% (hazard ratio [HR] 0.24 [95% confidence interval [CI], 0.14 to 0.41]; p<0.0001) as measured by a composite endpoint of all-cause death, the need for non-planned PAH-related hospitalization ≥24 hours, atrial septostomy, lung transplantation or PAH deterioration. HYPERION included participants who were within their first year of diagnosis (median seven months and as early as one month), with over 70% of trial participants on double background therapy. In the pivotal Phase 3 study, STELLAR, participants were WHO Group 1, FC II or III at baseline and had an average disease duration of 8.8 years from PAH diagnosis to screening. The safety profile of WINREVAIR was generally consistent with that observed in previous trials. Results from the study were presented today at the 2025 European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress and simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
