Brief Summary
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of tadalafil in pediatric participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Participants will receive study treatment for 6 months in the double-blind period (Period 1), and then will be eligible to enroll into an open-label 2 year extension period (Period 2) during which participants will receive tadalafil.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* ≥6 months to \<18 years of age at screening
* Currently have a diagnosis of PAH that is either:
* idiopathic, including hereditary
* related to connective tissue disease
* related to anorexigen use
* associated with surgical repair of at least 6-month duration of congenital systemic to pulmonary shunt (eg, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus)
* Have a history of a diagnosis of PAH established by a resting mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) ≥25 millimeter of mercury (mm Hg), pulmonary artery wedge pressure ≤15 mm Hg, and a pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) ≥3 Wood units via right heart catheterization (RHC). In the event that a pulmonary artery wedge pressure cannot be obtained during RHC, participants with a left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) \<15 mm Hg, with normal left heart function, and absence of mitral stenosis on echocardiography can be eligible for enrollment
* Have a World Health Organization (WHO) functional class value of II or III at the time of screening
* All participants must be receiving an endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) (such as bosentan or ambrisentan) and must be on a maintenance dose with no change in dose (other than weight-based adjustments) for at least 12 weeks prior to screening and have a screening aspartate transaminase (AST)/alanine transaminase (ALT) \<3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)
* If on conventional PAH medication, including but not restricted to, anticoagulants, diuretics, digoxin, and oxygen therapy, the participant must be on stable doses with no changes (other than weight-based adjustments) for at least 4 weeks before screening
* Female participants of childbearing potential must test negative for pregnancy during screening. Furthermore, female participants must agree to abstain from sexual activity or to use two different reliable methods of birth control as determined by the Investigator during the study. Examples of reliable birth control methods include true abstinence as a lifestyle choice (periodic sexual abstinence method is not acceptable); the use of oral contraceptives; a reliable barrier method of birth control (diaphragms with contraceptive jelly; cervical caps with contraceptive jelly; condoms with contraceptive foam; intrauterine devices)
* Written informed consent from parents (and written assent from appropriately aged participants) will be obtained prior to any study procedure being performed
Exclusion Criteria:
* Have pulmonary hypertension related to conditions other than specified above, including but not limited to chronic thromboembolic disease, portal pulmonary hypertension, left-sided heart disease or lung disease and hypoxia

* restrictive or congestive cardiomyopathy
* left ventricular ejection fraction \<40% by multigated radionucleotide angiogram (MUGA), angiography, or echocardiography
* left ventricular shortening fraction \<22% by echocardiography
* life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias
* symptomatic coronary artery disease within 5 years of study entry
* Unrepaired congenital heart disease
