Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

AUC of vericiguat (a single oral dose of the pediatric high concentration formulation in comparison to vericiguat intact tablet in fed condition)
From pre-dose until 72 hours after dosing in each intervention period

AUC: area under the concentration vs. time curve from zero to infinity after single (first) dose, calculated up by linear trapezoidal rule, down by logarithmic trapezoidal rule

AUC(0-tlast) of vericiguat (a single oral dose of the pediatric high concentration formulation in comparison to vericiguat intact tablet in fed condition)
From pre-dose until 72 hours after dosing in each intervention period

AUC(0-tlast): AUC from time 0 to the last data point \> lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ)

Cmax of vericiguat (a single oral dose of the pediatric high concentration formulation in comparison to vericiguat intact tablet in fed condition)
From pre-dose until 72 hours after dosing in each intervention period

Cmax: maximum observed drug concentration in measured matrix after single dose administration

Secondary Endpoints

AUC/D of vericiguat ( a single oral dose of 2.5 mg of the pediatric low-concentration formulation in comparison to 10 mg vericiguat intact tablet in fed condition)
From pre-dose until 72 hours after dosing in each intervention period
AUC(0-tlast)/D of vericiguat ( a single oral dose of 2.5 mg of the pediatric low-concentration formulation in comparison to 10 mg vericiguat intact tablet in fed condition)
From pre-dose until 72 hours after dosing in each intervention period
Cmax/D of vericiguat ( a single oral dose of 2.5 mg of the pediatric low-concentration formulation in comparison to 10 mg vericiguat intact tablet in fed condition)
From pre-dose until 72 hours after dosing in each intervention period

What is Vericiguat- Intervention A used for?

Vericiguat- Intervention A is an investigational small molecule being studied for heart failure. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development. The drug is being evaluated for use in adults and potentially in children with heart failure, as part of a study involving healthy adult male participants.

Who makes Vericiguat- Intervention A?

Vericiguat- Intervention A is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., which trades under the ticker MRK. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's absorption and pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers as part of its development program for heart failure.

What phase is Vericiguat- Intervention A in?

Vericiguat- Intervention A is in Phase 1 clinical development. One Phase 1 trial has been completed, with no active trials currently ongoing. The drug remains investigational and has not been approved for any use.

What clinical trials is Vericiguat- Intervention A in?

Vericiguat- Intervention A has one completed clinical trial, NCT05086952. This Phase 1 study evaluated how the drug is absorbed with and without food when given as a liquid formulation suitable for children, compared to a 10 mg immediate-release tablet, in healthy adult male participants in Germany.

Is Vericiguat- Intervention A the same as vericiguat?

Vericiguat- Intervention A is a formulation of vericiguat, a small molecule being studied for heart failure. The trial NCT05086952 compares a liquid form of vericiguat suitable for children to a 10 mg tablet that releases the active substance immediately, indicating the drug is being developed in multiple formulations.
