Frequently asked questions about Nifedipine OD

What is Nifedipine OD used for?

Nifedipine OD is being developed for the treatment of hypertension, or high blood pressure. It is an oral small molecule formulation studied in adults aged 20 years and older. Development is at Phase 2, so it is investigational and not yet an approved therapy for this indication.

What does Nifedipine OD target?

Nifedipine OD targets calcium channel subunits CACNA1C, CACNA1S, CACNA1D, and CACNA1F. It acts as a blocker of these channels, which are voltage-gated calcium channels involved in regulating calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac cells, producing vasodilation and reduced blood pressure.

Who is developing Nifedipine OD?

Nifedipine OD is being developed by Bayer AG, which trades under the ticker BAYRY. Bayer is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating the 80 mg once-daily formulation in hypertension.

What phase is Nifedipine OD in?

Nifedipine OD is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational product and has not been approved by the FDA for hypertension. The program has one completed Phase 2 trial, and no active trials are currently listed.

What clinical trials is Nifedipine OD in?

Nifedipine OD has been evaluated in one completed Phase 2 trial, NCT00768560, titled Nifedipine (Adalat CR, BAY A1040) High Dose PK/PD Study. It enrolled 35 adults with hypertension in Japan, was randomized, double-blind, and used an active control design.

Is Nifedipine OD the same as Adalat CR or BAY A1040?

Yes. Nifedipine OD is also known as Nifedipine (Adalat CR, BAYA1040) 80mg OD. Adalat CR and BAY A1040 are alternative names used for the same 80 mg once-daily nifedipine formulation developed by Bayer, so searches for those names refer to this asset.
