Pharmacokinetics

Study of finerenone to investigate a paediatric formulation in healthy male subjects

Trial purpose

Finerenone is developed for the treatment of diabetic kidney disease (adults) and chronic kidney disease (children). The purpose of the proposed trial is to test the pharmacokinetics of a novel liquid formulation for the treatment of children in comparison to the adult tablet formulation.

Trial design

Relative bioavailability study to investigate the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of finerenone 20 mg as suspension (pediatric formulation), intact tablet and crushed tablet (adult formulation) in the fasting condition, and to investigate the effect of a high fat, high calorie meal on the suspension in healthy male subjects in a randomized, open-label, four-fold crossover design.
