Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Racemic-Praziquantel (Rac-PZQ)
Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 and 12 hours post-dose in each treatment period

Cmax was obtained directly from the concentration versus time curve.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Last Measurable Concentration (AUC0-t) of Racemic-Praziquantel (Rac-PZQ)
Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 and 12 hours post-dose in each treatment period

Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero to the last sampling time t at which the concentration was at or above the lower limit of quantification (LLQ). AUC0-t was calculated according to the mixed log-linear trapezoidal rule.

Frequently asked questions about Cesol

What is Cesol?

Cesol is a small molecule drug developed by Merck KGaA. It is in Phase 1 clinical development, and its specific therapeutic indication has not been publicly disclosed. One completed Phase 1 trial has evaluated the drug, and no active trials are currently listed.

Who makes Cesol?

Cesol is developed by Merck KGaA, which trades under the ticker MKGAF. The company is responsible for the clinical development of the drug, including the completed Phase 1 bioequivalence study conducted in Germany.

What phase is Cesol in?

Cesol is in Phase 1 clinical development. One Phase 1 trial has been completed, and there are no active trials currently listed. The drug has not been approved by the FDA, and it remains an investigational product.

What clinical trials is Cesol in?

Cesol has been evaluated in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT04314037, titled Bioequivalence Study of Coated Cesol Tablet Formulation Versus Biltricide. The trial enrolled 36 healthy male volunteers in Germany and was a randomized, controlled study.

Is Cesol the same as Biltricide?

Cesol and Biltricide are not the same product. A completed Phase 1 trial compared a coated Cesol tablet formulation against Biltricide to assess bioequivalence. Cesol is also referred to as Cesol or Cesol (Test) in study documentation.
