ArmTypeDescription
Fasting: First Bisoprolol-Amlodipine FDC, Then Both SeparatelyEXPERIMENTALParticipants received a single oral dose of 5 milligram(mg)/5 mg bisoprolol-amlodipine FDC tablet (Concor AM®) on Day 1 in treatment period 1 followed by a single oral dose of 5 mg bisoprolol and a single oral dose of 5 mg amlodipine given concomitantly on Day 15 in treatment period 2 under fasting conditions. The two periods were separated by a washout period of 14 days.
Fasting: First Bisoprolol and Amlodipine Separately, Then FDCEXPERIMENTALParticipants received a single oral dose of 5 mg bisoprolol and a single oral dose of 5 mg amlodipine given concomitantly on Day 1 in treatment period 1 followed by a single oral dose of 5 mg/5 mg bisoprolol-amlodipine FDC tablet (Concor AM®) on Day 15 in treatment period 2 under fasting conditions.

Frequently asked questions about Bisoprolol-Amlodipine

What is Bisoprolol-Amlodipine used for?

Bisoprolol-Amlodipine is a combination of two small-molecule drugs being studied in healthy volunteers. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development, with a completed bioequivalence trial in Chinese participants. The drug is not approved and remains investigational.

Who makes Bisoprolol-Amlodipine?

Bisoprolol-Amlodipine is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., which trades under the ticker MRK. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the combination product.

What phase is Bisoprolol-Amlodipine in?

Bisoprolol-Amlodipine is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. A Phase 1 bioequivalence trial has been completed.

What clinical trials is Bisoprolol-Amlodipine in?

Bisoprolol-Amlodipine has one completed clinical trial, NCT03226275, titled "Bioequivalence Trial of Concor AM® vs Bisoprolol and Amlodipine in Chinese Participants." This Phase 1 study enrolled 32 healthy volunteers in China and was controlled but not double-blind.

Is Bisoprolol-Amlodipine the same as Concor AM?

Bisoprolol-Amlodipine is being studied as a potential generic or alternative to Concor AM. The clinical trial NCT03226275 compares the combination product to Concor AM, which contains bisoprolol and amlodipine, to assess bioequivalence.
