BAY 1021189 Mass Balance Study

Trial purpose

The primary objectives of this study were:
• to measure the cumulative amount as well as the time course of drug-related, radiolabeled material excreted in urine and feces following a single oral dose of 5 mg [14C] vericiguat
• to characterize the metabolic pattern in plasma, urine and feces and to identify metabolites where possible
• to quantify total radioactivity in blood and plasma
• to quantify parent vericiguat and metabolites circulating in plasma (reported separately).

The secondary objective of this study was to assess the safety and tolerability of 5 mg vericiguat administered as an oral solution in healthy subjects.
