Clinical Pharmacology

Absolute bioavailability study

Trial purpose

The objectives of Part 1 with intravenous finerenone doses including 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg and 1.0 mg infused over 1 h were to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of these treatments and to select an appropriate intravenous dose for Part 2.
The primary objective of Part 2 of this study, performed in a randomized, non-blinded, non-placebo controlled 2-way crossover design in 16 healthy male subjects, was to evaluate the absolute bioavailability of a single oral dose of a 5 mg IR tablet of finerenone in comparison to an intravenous infusion of 1 mg over 1 h (iv dose as planned and confirmed by results of Part 1) and to characterize the pharmacokinetics of finerenone after intravenous administration. The secondary objectives of Part 2 were to investigate the safety and tolerability.

Trial design

Study in healthy male subjects to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of an intravenous solution of finerenone (dose escalation and group comparison, part 1) and to investigate the absolute bioavailability of an oral dose of 5 mg finerenone (BAY 94 8862) in comparison to an intravenous solution of finerenone (planned dose 1 mg) administered over 1 hour (randomized, non-blinded, non-placebo-controlled, 2-way crossover design, part 2)
