Multiple Dose escalation Phase I study of BAY1021189

Trial purpose

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of once daily 1.25, 5.0 and 10 mg and twice daily 5 mg of vericiguat administered orally as one or multiples of 1.25 mg IR-tablets over 7 days in 12 healthy male subjects (9 on active drug and 3 on placebo) per dose step.
