Interaction study of vericiguat with midazolam in healthy male subjects

Trial purpose

The primary objective was to investigate the influence of multiple doses of 10 mg vericiguat once daily given as a single oral dose on the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of 7.5 mg midazolam.

The secondary objective was to assess the influence of multiple doses of 10 mg vericiguat once daily given as a single oral dose on the safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of midazolam.

Trial design

Single-center, randomized, non-blinded, non-placebo-controlled, twofold crossover study to investigate the influence of multiple doses of 10 mg OD vericiguat on pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of 7.5 mg midazolam in comparison to a single dose of 7.5 mg midazolam alone in healthy male subjects
