Prospective, non-interventional, multi-center, post-authorization safety study of Riociguat for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)

Trial purpose

The primary objective in this study is to collect post-marketing information on Riociguat safety.Thus, the information on adverse events (AEs) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) that occur within the first 12 months and in the following 6 -year observation at most, after starting Riociguat treatment under the routine clinical practice will be collected.
The secondary objectives are collecting information on Riociguat effectiveness, such as 6-Minute Walking Distance (6MWD) Test. Since it is assumed that Riociguat is for long-term use, information on Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) clinical worsening will also be surveyed once a year.
