Brief Summary

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

This study is to investigate the efficacy, safety, and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of Inhaled Iloprost (Ventavis) therapy in Japanese pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients in Main Treatment Phase (12 weeks) and to investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of longterm Inhaled Iloprost (Ventavis) therapy in Japanese PAH patients in Extension Phase.
