Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from zero to infinity [AUC(0-inf)] of riociguat
Day 1 (pre-dose to 96 hours post-dose ), Day 10 (pre-dose to 144 hours post-dose)

AUC(0-inf) of riociguat will be assessed following administration of riociguat alone or concomitantly with macitentan.

Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of riociguat
Day 1 (pre-dose to 96 hours post-dose ), Day 10 (pre-dose to 144 hours post-dose)

The maximum observed plasma concentration of riociguat will be assessed following administration of riociguat alone or concomitantly with macitentan.

Secondary Endpoints

Time to reach Cmax (tmax) of riociguat and its metabolite M1
Day 1 (pre-dose to 96 hours post-dose ), Day 10 (pre-dose to 144 hours post-dose)
Elimination half life (t1/2) of riociguat and its metabolite M1
Day 1 (pre-dose to 96 hours post-dose ), Day 10 (pre-dose to 144 hours post-dose)
AUC(0-t) of riociguat and its metabolite M1
Day 1 (pre-dose to 96 hours post-dose ), Day 10 (pre-dose to 144 hours post-dose)

What is Riociguat?

Riociguat is a small molecule drug being developed by Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development for use in healthy subjects. The drug is being studied to understand its pharmacokinetics, particularly how it interacts with other medications.

What is Riociguat used for?

Riociguat is being studied for use in healthy subjects. The current clinical trial is designed to investigate the effect of macitentan on riociguat pharmacokinetics, which means it is being used to understand how the drug is processed in the body when taken with another medication.

Who makes Riociguat?

Riociguat is being developed by Johnson & Johnson, a pharmaceutical company traded on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol JNJ. The company is conducting clinical research to evaluate the drug's pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers.

What phase is Riociguat in?

Riociguat is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it is not yet approved for any medical use. The current Phase 1 trial has been completed and involved 20 healthy male participants in Germany.

What clinical trials is Riociguat in?

Riociguat has one completed clinical trial registered under NCT03389321. The trial, titled 'Clinical Study to Investigate Effect of Macitentan on Riociguat Pharmacokinetics,' was a Phase 1 study conducted in Germany with 20 healthy male volunteers aged 18 years and older.

Is Riociguat FDA approved?

Riociguat is not FDA approved. It is an investigational drug currently in Phase 1 clinical development. The drug is being studied in healthy subjects to evaluate its pharmacokinetics, but it has not yet received regulatory approval for any indication.
