Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of Evobrutinib
Evobrutinib: Predose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8,12,16 and 24 hours post dose on Day 1 and Day 19.

AUC0-inf was calculated by combining AUC0-t and AUCextra. AUCextra represents an extrapolated value obtained by Clast pred/Lambda z, where Clast pred was the calculated plasma concentration at the last sampling time point at which the measured plasma concentration is at or above the Lower Limit of quantification (LLQ) and Lambda z was the apparent terminal rate constant determined by log-linear regression analysis of the measured plasma concentrations of the terminal log-linear phase.

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Evobrutinib
Evobrutinib: Predose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8,12, 16 and 24 hours post dose on Day 1 and Day 19.

Cmax was obtained from plasma concentration time curve.

Frequently asked questions about Evobrutinib

What is Evobrutinib used for?

Evobrutinib is an investigational small molecule being studied in healthy volunteers for early-stage clinical pharmacology trials, including absorption, metabolism, excretion, bioavailability, and drug-drug interaction studies. It is not approved for any disease and remains in Phase 1 clinical development.

Who makes Evobrutinib?

Evobrutinib is being developed by Merck KGaA, a German multinational pharmaceutical company. The company's over-the-counter ticker is MKGAF. Merck KGaA is conducting Phase 1 clinical trials to evaluate the drug's pharmacokinetic properties in healthy participants.

What phase is Evobrutinib in?

Evobrutinib is in Phase 1 clinical development. All four completed trials were Phase 1 studies, and no later-phase trials have been reported. The drug remains investigational and has not received regulatory approval.

What clinical trials is Evobrutinib in?

Evobrutinib has completed four Phase 1 trials: NCT03725072 (ADME study in healthy males), NCT03934502 (effect of meal composition on bioavailability), NCT04314024 (relative bioavailability of tablets), and NCT05248945 (drug-drug interaction with carbamazepine). All trials enrolled healthy volunteers and are completed.

Is Evobrutinib FDA approved?

Evobrutinib is not FDA approved. It is an investigational drug that has only been studied in Phase 1 clinical trials involving healthy volunteers. No efficacy trials in patients have been conducted, and the drug remains in early clinical development.
