Interaction study with mefenamic acid in healthy male subjects

Trial purpose

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the influence of a starting dose of 500 mg followed by multiple doses of 250 mg mefenamic acid every 6 hours on the PK of 2.5 mg vericiguat given as a single oral dose in comparison to 2.5 mg vericiguat given alone.

The secondary objective of this study was to assess the influence of a starting dose of 500 mg followed by multiple doses of 250 mg mefenamic acid every 6 hours on the safety and tolerability of 2.5 mg vericiguat given as a single oral dose in comparison to 2.5 mg vericiguat given alone.

Trial design

Interaction study to investigate the influence of a starting dose of 500 mg followed by multiple doses of 250 mg mefenamic acid every 6 hours on pharmacokinetics as well as safety and tolerability of a single dose of 2.5 mg vericiguat in comparison to a single dose of 2.5 mg vericiguat alone in healthy male subjects in a randomized, non-blinded, non-placebo-controlled, two-fold cross-over design
