Frequently asked questions about BAY60-4552+ Vardenafil

What is BAY60-4552 + Vardenafil?

BAY60-4552 + Vardenafil is an investigational combination of two small molecules developed by Bayer AG. It has been studied in Phase 2 for erectile dysfunction and in Phase 1 for heart failure. The combination pairs vardenafil, a PDE5 inhibitor, with the investigational agent BAY60-4552.

What is BAY60-4552 + Vardenafil used for?

BAY60-4552 + Vardenafil has been studied for erectile dysfunction, including in men not sufficiently responsive to standard PDE5 inhibitor therapy, and for chronic heart failure. Both are investigational uses; the combination is not approved for either indication.

Who makes BAY60-4552 + Vardenafil?

Bayer AG develops BAY60-4552 + Vardenafil. Bayer trades on the OTC market in the United States under the ticker BAYRY. The combination is an internal Bayer program, and the company sponsored the clinical trials conducted to date.

What phase is BAY60-4552 + Vardenafil in?

BAY60-4552 + Vardenafil has reached Phase 2. The Phase 2 proof-of-concept study in erectile dysfunction is completed, and two Phase 1 studies, one in erectile dysfunction and one in chronic heart failure, are also completed. No trials are currently active.

What clinical trials is BAY60-4552 + Vardenafil in?

Three completed trials are registered. NCT01168817 was a Phase 2 placebo-controlled proof-of-concept study in erectile dysfunction with 140 patients across seven European countries. NCT01110590 was a Phase 1 multiple dose escalation study in 37 men in Germany, and NCT00565565 was a Phase 1 single dose escalation study in 55 chronic heart failure patients.

Is BAY60-4552 + Vardenafil the same as BAY60-4552?

Yes. BAY60-4552 + Vardenafil, BAY60-4552 plus Vardenafil, and BAY60-4552 all refer to the same Bayer combination program. Searches using the shorter BAY60-4552 name point to the same asset studied in erectile dysfunction and heart failure.
