4.8 Undesirable effects
Haemoglobin decrease
In a Phase 3 placebo‑controlled study in patients with PAH, mean absolute changes in haemoglobin at regular visits compared to baseline ranged from -0.34 to -0.02 g/dL in the selexipag group compared to -0.05 to 0.25 g/dL in the placebo group. A decrease from baseline in haemoglobin concentration to below 10 g/dL was reported in 8.6% of selexipag‑treated patients and 5.0% of placebo‑treated patients.
In a phase 3 placebo-controlled study in patients newly diagnosed with PAH, mean absolute changes in haemoglobin at regular visits compared to baseline ranged from -1.77 to -1.26 g/dL in the triple therapy group (selexipag, macitentan, tadalafil) compared to -1.61 to -1.28 g/dL in the double therapy group (placebo, macitentan and tadalafil). A decrease from baseline in haemoglobin concentration to below 10 g/dL was reported in 19.0% of patients in the triple therapy group and 14.5% in the double therapy group. Anaemia was reported with very common frequency (13.4%) in the triple therapy group compared to common frequency (8.3%) in the double therapy group.
