Clinical Pharmacology

Phase I Multiple dose escalation study

Trial purpose

Primary objective: To investigate the safety and tolerability of BAY 94-8862 after multiple oral doses of 10 mg twice a day (bid), 20 mg bid and 40 mg once a day given as 10 mg immediate release tablets over 10 days in 12 healthy male subjects (9-verum and 3 placebo) per dose step in a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, group-comparison design.
Secondary objectives: To assess
- The pharmacodynamics of BAY 94-8862 and pharmacokinetics (PK) of BAY 94-8862 and three metabolites
- The influence of multiple oral doses of BAY 94-8862 given as 20 mg bid over 10 days on the PK of a single oral dose of the CYP3A4 substrate midazolam in 9 healthy male subjects.
