AUC = area under the plasma concentration–time curve; AUC0‐t = AUC from time 0 to time t of the last measured concentration above the lower limit of quantification; AUC0‐∞ = AUC from time 0 to infinity; CI = confidence interval; Cmax = maximum plasma concentration; CVw = intrasubject (within‐subject) coefficient of variation; FDC = fixed‐dose combination; N = maximum number of subjects with data.

Treatment A = FDC‐1 in Group 1 and FDC‐2 in Group 2 (test).

Treatment B = free combination of macitentan and tadalafil (reference).
