Acronym: BOTA-PAH
Brief Summary: The development of disease-targeted drugs for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension PAH has significantly improved within the last years Combining drug products with different mechanisms of action such as Endothelin-Receptor-Antagonists ERAs and Phosphodiesterase-Type-5-inhibitors PDE-5-Inhibitors has become increasingly important for the treatment of PAH Recently the results of the AMBITION study reported that an upfront combination treatment of ambrisentan and tadalafil immediately after diagnosis leads to a delayed disease progression On the other hand the sequential combination of bosentan and sildenafil did not show a similar positive clinical effect and this was attributed to a negative clinically relevant pharmacodynamic drug-drug interaction Although recent guidelines have extrapolated that initial upfront combination treatment follows a class effect in terms of efficacy and safety there is an imperative need to support this notion with other combinations of ERAs and PDE-5-Inhibitors
Detailed Description: The primary objective of BOTA study is to compare the change in clinical and hemodynamic measures of PAH after the initiation of first line combination therapy with bosentan and tadalafil in adult patients with PAH The safety and tolerability of first line combination therapy will also be evaluated

In patients with PAH initial upfront combination treatment with bosentan and tadalafil

1 Improves

Exercise capacity as expressed by distance walked in six minute walk test and WHO functional class
Hemodynamics in terms of pulmonary vascular resistance PVR mean pulmonary artery pressure mPAP reduction and cardiac index CI elevation
Quality of life
NTproBNP serum levels
Echocardiographic prognostic parameters such as right atrial area and presence of pericardial effusion
2 Is safe as assessed by

Liver function markers such as serum SGOT and SGPT levels
Hemoglobin levels
