Coronary Artery Disease

Study to evaluate the QT / QTc interval prolongation potential of vericiguat

Trial purpose

The primary objective of this study was to investigate whether there is a clinically meaningful effect on QTc change from baseline relative to placebo after administration of 10 mg at steady state in patients with stable CAD (coronary artery disease).
