Relative Bioavailability and Food Effect Study With Vericiguat to Characterize the Pediatric Formulation in Adult Healthy Subjects

December 9, 2021 updated by: Bayer
Vericiguat is intended to be used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, especially heart failure. Heart failure also occurs in children. Therefore, a study testing vericiguat in the treatment of heart failure in paediatric patients is planned under the paediatric investigational plan (PIP). In order to administer vericiguat to children, a vericiguat paediatric formulation is needed. This paediatric formulation is characterized in this study prior to its use in paediatric patients.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Vericiguat area under the plasma concentration vs. time curve divided by dose (AUC/D)
Time Frame: 0 - 72 hours
AUC is the area under the curve (mathematically known as definite integral) in a plot of concentration of vericiguat after single dose administration in blood plasma against time (pre-dose until 72 hours after administration). AUC from time 0 to the last data point greater than lower limit of quantification divided by dose (AUC(0-tlast)/D) will be used as primary parameter if AUC cannot be calculated for all profiles, or mean AUC from the last data point to infinity [AUC(tlast-∞)] >20% of AUC. AUC will be analyzed by means of descriptive statistics.
0 - 72 hours
Vericiguat maximum plasma concentration divided by dose (Cmax/D))
Time Frame: 0 - 72 hours
Cmax is the maximum observed vericiguat concentration in measured plasma after single dose administration (pre-dose until 72 hours after administration). Cmax/D is the maximum observed drug concentration in measured matrix after single dose administration divided by dose.Cmax will be analyzed by means of descriptive statistics
0 - 72 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Adverse Events
Time Frame: pre-dose until 7 to 14 days after last administration of vericiguat

As a secondary objective of this study the numbers of AEs will be used to assess safety and tolerability of vericiguat.

In a clinical study, an AE is any untoward medical occurrence (i.e. any unfavorable and unintended sign [including abnormal laboratory findings], symptom or disease) in a patient or clinical investigation subject after providing written informed consent for participation in the study. Therefore, an AE may or may not be temporally or causally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product.

Individual listings of AEs will be provided. The incidence of treatment-emergent AEs an drug-related AEs, respectively, will be summarized by treatment using MedDRA terms (highly specific standardised medical terminology).
pre-dose until 7 to 14 days after last administration of vericiguat
Palatability of the oro-dispersible tablets and the crushed IR tablets assessed by questionnaire
Time Frame: up to 5 minutes after drug administration
As a secondary objective of this study the taste and texture of pediatric formulation (palatability) (mini tablets) and of the crushed IR tablet will be assessed
up to 5 minutes after drug administration
