Trial design

Relative bioavailability study of riociguat given orally as a crushed 2.5 mg tablet suspended in applesauce, crushed 2.5 mg tablet suspended in water, and whole 2.5 mg tablet after a continental breakfast in comparison to a whole 2.5 mg tablet given in the fasted state to characterize the pharmacokinetic properties in healthy male adult subjects in a 4-fold crossover design
