Clinical pharmacology

Pivotal food effect and dose proportionality study with 2.5 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg vericiguat IR tablets

Trial purpose

The primary objective of this study was to
• investigate the PK dose proportionality of single oral doses of 2.5 mg and 5 mg vericiguat tablet in comparison to 10 mg vericiguat tablet in fed condition
• investigate the effect of a high fat, high calorie meal on the PK of vericiguat after a single oral dose of the 10 mg tablet in comparison to the 10 mg tablet in fasted state

The secondary objectives of this study were to assess the
• safety and tolerability of vericiguat

Trial design

Pivotal food effect and dose proportionality study to investigate pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability following administration of 2.5 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg vericiguat (BAY 1021189) as IR tablets following a high fat, high calorie meal and 10 mg fasted in 32 healthy male subjects in a randomized, open-label, four-fold cross-over design
