Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Absolute bioavailability (F) of selexipag
From pre-dose to 72 hours post-dose

F was calculated using the areas under the plasma concentrations curves extrapolated to infinity \[AUC(0-inf)\] after oral (po) and intravenous (iv) doses, obtained during the main phase, and using the following formula: AUC(0-inf)po \* iv dose / AUC(0-inf)iv \* oral dose

Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity [AUC(0-inf)] of selexipag
From pre-dose to 72 hours post-dose

AUC(0-inf) was calculated from the concentration-time profile of selexipag after both oral and intravenous administration during the main phase

Secondary Endpoints

Areas under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time t [AUC(0-t)] of selexipag and its active metabolite
From pre-dose to 72 hours post-dose
Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of selexipag and its active metabolite
From pre-dose to 72 hours post-dose
time to reach maximum plasma concentration (tmax) of selexipag and its active metabolite
From pre-dose to 72 hours post-dose

Intravenous selexipag (Pilot phase)EXPERIMENTALSubjects received a 20-minute intravenous (i.v.) infusion of 50 µg selexipag
Sequence A-B (Main phase)EXPERIMENTALSubjects received a 80-minute i.v. infusion of 200 µg selexipag during Period 1, and 2 tablets of oral selexipag (total dose of 400 µg) as a single administration during Period 2. A washout period of 7 to 10 days separated the i.v. infusion from the oral administration.
Sequence B-A (Main phase)EXPERIMENTALSubjects received 2 tablets of oral selexipag (total dose of 400 µg) as a single administration during Period 1, and a 80-minute i.v. infusion of 200 µg selexipag during Period 2. A washout period of 7 to 10 days separated the oral administration from the i.v. infusion.

Frequently asked questions about Selexipag for use

What is selexipag for intravenous use?

Selexipag for intravenous use is an investigational small molecule developed by Johnson & Johnson (ticker JNJ). It is a formulation of selexipag studied for intravenous administration. The program is in Phase 1 clinical development, and the specific therapeutic indication has not been disclosed.

What does selexipag for intravenous use target?

Selexipag for intravenous use targets PTGIR, the prostacyclin receptor. It acts as an agonist at this receptor, meaning it activates the receptor. PTGIR agonism is the mechanism associated with this small molecule in its clinical development program.

Who makes selexipag for intravenous use?

Selexipag for intravenous use is developed by Johnson & Johnson, which trades under the ticker JNJ. The company is the sponsor behind the clinical development program for this intravenous formulation of selexipag.

What phase is selexipag for intravenous use in?

Selexipag for intravenous use is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational agent and is not approved for any use based on this program. One Phase 1 trial has been completed, and no trials are currently active.

What clinical trials is selexipag for intravenous use in?

Selexipag for intravenous use has been studied in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT02882425, titled Absolute Bioavailability of a Single Oral Dose of Selexipag in Healthy Subjects. That randomized, controlled trial enrolled 19 healthy male volunteers aged 18 years and older.

Is selexipag for intravenous use the same as selexipag?

Selexipag for intravenous use is an alternative name for selexipag, referring to the intravenous formulation of the same small molecule. Searches for either name refer to the same investigational agent developed by Johnson & Johnson.
