Clinical pharmacology

Influence of age and gender on the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of 5 mg BAY 1021189 as immediate-release tablet in healthy male and female subjects

Trial purpose

The primary objective of the study was to investigate the influence of age and gender on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single oral dose of 5 mg vericiguat as an IR tablet in young and elderly healthy male and female subjects.

The secondary objectives of the study were to assess the safety and tolerability of vericiguat.
