Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of long-term administration of GSK1325760A in patients with PAH.

The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate long-term administration of GSK1325760A on:

* Improvement in exercise capacity (six-minutes walk distance: 6MWD), change in WHO Functional Classification and time to clinical worsening of PAH
* Change in the Borg Dyspnea Index (assessed immediately following the six-minute walk test \[6MWT\])
* Change in plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels
* Cardiopulmonary hemodynamics parameters (as measured by echocardiography)

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Subjects who complete the 24-week administration of the Phase II/III study (Study No.AMB107816)
* Subjects who are assessed that the long-term extension administration of GSK1325760A is appropriate in the judgement of the investigator or subinvestigator
* Subjects who request the long-term extension administration of GSK1325760A, and agree to newly sign the informed consent form

Exclusion Criteria

* Subjects who have been withdrawn from the Phase II/III study.
* Female subjects who wish to become pregnant.
* Treatment with other PAH medication is needed.
* A worsening of 2 or more levels of the WHO Functional Classification (see Appendix 2.1) comparing with the baseline of Phase II/III study (Study No.AMB107816).
* Worsening of right ventricular failure (e.g. as indicated by increased jugular venous pressure, new/worsened hepatomegaly, ascites, or peripheral edema) during Phase II/III study (Study No.AMB107816).
* Rapidly progressing cardiac, hepatic or renal failure during Phase II/III study (Study No.AMB107816).
* Participation to the long-term extension study is considered as inappropriate in the judgment of the investigator or subinvestigator.
