Clinical pharmacology

Drug-drug interaction of vericiguat with rifampicin

Trial purpose

The primary objective was:
• to investigate the influence of multiple doses of 600 mg rifampicin administered once daily on the pharmacokinetics of a single 10 mg dose of vericiguat, in comparison with a single 10 mg dose of vericiguat administered alone.

The secondary objectives were:
• to investigate the influence of multiple doses of 600 mg rifampicin administered once daily on the safety and tolerability of a single 10 mg dose of vericiguat, in comparison with a single 10 mg dose of vericiguat administered alone.

Trial design

Non-randomized, non-blinded, non-placebo-controlled study with intra-individual comparison to investigate the influence of multiple doses of 600 mg rifampicin once daily on the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of 10 mg vericiguat (BAY 1021189; IR tablets) in comparison to a single oral dose of 10 mg vericiguat alone in healthy male subjects
