Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Geometric Mean Ratio of Dose Normalized Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Tau (AUCtau) for Bosentan Before and After Imatinib Administrations
Day 1: pre-dose, Day 8: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours post-dose, Day 9: pre-dose, Days 22 and 36: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours post-dose

AUCtau was the area under the curve calculated to the end of the dosing interval, tau. The effect of co-administration of imatinib at two doses (200 and 400 mg) on the pharmacokinetics of bosentan was performed on dose normalized AUCtau of bosentan. A mixed effects linear model was fitted to the log-transformed PK parameters. This model included treatment (i.e., dose of imatinib) as a fixed effect, and participant as a random effect. Estimates for the treatment differences and associated 90% confidence intervals were obtained from the above model. These estimates and confidence intervals were then "back-transformed" to the original scale, giving, for each dose level of imatinib, the ratio of imatinib + co-administered sildenafil and bosentan (test) relative to the co-administered drugs alone (sildenafil + bosentan) (reference).

Day 1: pre-dose, Day 8: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours post-dose, Day 9: pre-dose, Days 22 and 36: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours post-dose

Geometric Mean Ratio of Dose Normalized Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for Bosentan Before and After Imatinib Administrations
Day 1: pre-dose, Day 8: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours post-dose, Day 9: pre-dose, Days 22 and 36: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours post-dose

Cmax was the maximum (peak) observed plasma, blood, serum, or other body fluid drug concentration after dose administration. The effect of co-administration of imatinib at two doses (200 and 400 mg) on the pharmacokinetics of bosentan was performed on dose normalized Cmax of bosentan. A mixed effects linear model was fitted to the log-transformed PK parameters. This model included treatment (i.e., dose of imatinib) as a fixed effect, and participant as a random effect. Estimates for the treatment differences and associated 90% confidence intervals were obtained from the above model.

Imatinib + Bosentan + SildenafilEXPERIMENTALParticipants received treatment with bosentan 125 milligrams (mg) twice daily and sildenafil thrice daily for 8 days in treatment period 1. Participants were on the same sildenafil dose level (20, 40, 50 or 60 mg) they had been at study entry which was well tolerated in conjunction with bosentan. Following treatment period 1, the participants received concomitant treatment of oral imatinib 200 mg daily, bosentan 125 mg twice daily and sildenafil thrice daily for 14 days in treatment period 2. Following treatment period 2, the participants received concomitant treatment of oral imatinib 400 mg daily, bosentan 125 mg twice daily and sildenafil thrice daily for 14 days in treatment period 3.
