Pharmacokinetics

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

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 single oral dose of finerenone (1.25 mg tablet and 5 x 0.25 mg tablets) using a novel orodispersible tablet 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 single oral doses of finerenone 1.25 mg and 5 x 0.25 mg orodispersible tablet (pediatric formulation) in comparison to 10 mg tablet (adult formulation) in the fasting condition and to investigate the effect of a high fat, high calorie meal on 1.25 mg oro-dispersible tablet in healthy male subjects in a randomized, open-label, four-fold crossover design
