Initial Criteria:

For the treatment of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) [WHO Group 1 Pulmonary hypertension] who meet all the following criteria:

  1. PAH defined as a resting mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) of ≥ 25 mmHg at rest AND normal pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) ≤ 15 mmHg on right heart catheterization1; AND 

  2. The drug request meets one of the following circumstances of use:
    a) Drug is being used as monotherapy in a patient with WHO-functional class II (Note that a PDE-5 inhibitor must be used as first line monotherapy for WHO-FC II (unless contraindicated or demonstrated intolerance), III, or IV;
    OR
    b) Drug is being used as sequential dual therapy in combination with a funded ERA (i.e., ambrisentan, bosentan, macitentan) or a funded prostanoid (i.e., epoprostenol, treprostinil) in a patient who has had an inadequate response with monotherapy (i.e., failure to achieve WHO-FC I or II; or 6MWD >440 metres; or no/mild RV failure);
    OR
    c)     Drug is being used as up-front dual therapy in combination with a funded ERA (i.e., ambrisentan, bosentan, macitentan) or a funded prostanoid (i.e. epoprostenol, treprostinil) in a patient with advanced disease (i.e., WHO- functional class III or IV, 6MWD less than 380 metres; OR evidence of RV failure.)

1Note: Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure ≤ 15 mmHg is also acceptable.

For all funded PAH Drugs, case-by-case consideration may be provided for the following:

  • Requests for triple therapy (Including patients awaiting lung transplant.)
