Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) at Day 1 and Day 8 in 6-11 and 12-17 Year Old Patients
Day 1 and Day 8

Blood samples (1 mL) for pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation were drawn pre-dose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, and 24 hours following administration of aliskiren on Day 1 and Day 8. The pre-dose PK evaluations were collected in a fasted state (7-12 hours without food or beverage except water). PK parameters were calculated from plasma concentration-time data and actual recorded sampling times for each patient, using non-compartmental methods with the software program WinNonlin Pro v5.2.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC0-τ) in One Dosing Interval (24 h) at Day 1 and Day 8 in 6-11 and 12-17 Year Old Patients
Day 1 and Day 8

Blood samples (1 mL) for pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation were drawn pre-dose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, and 24 hours following administration of aliskiren on Day 1 and Day 8. The pre-dose PK evaluations were collected in a fasted state (7-12 hours without food or beverage except water). PK parameters were calculated from plasma concentration-time data and actual recorded sampling times for each patient, using non-compartmental methods with the software program WinNonlin Pro v5.2.

Apparent Plasma Clearance (CL/F) at Day 8 in 6-11 and 12-17 Year Old Patients
Day 8

Blood samples (1 mL) for pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation were drawn pre-dose and at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, and 24 hours following administration of aliskiren on Day 1 and Day 8. The pre-dose PK evaluations were collected in a fasted state (7-12 hours without food or beverage except water). PK parameters were calculated from plasma concentration-time data and actual recorded sampling times for each patient, using non-compartmental methods with the software program WinNonlin Pro v5.2.

Secondary Endpoints

Change in Plasma Renin Activity From Baseline on Day 1, Day 8, and Day 9
Baseline to 2 and 10 hours post-dose on Day 1; pre-dose, 2, 10, and 24 hours post-dose on Day 8-9
Change in Mean Sitting Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure (msSBP and msDBP) From Baseline to the End of Treatment (Day 9) in 6-11 and 12-17 Year Old Patients

Frequently asked questions about Aliskiren 3.125 mini

What is Aliskiren 3.125 mini used for?

Aliskiren 3.125 mini is used for hypertension, a condition of high blood pressure. It is a small molecule being developed by Novartis AG for the cardiovascular therapeutic area. The drug is currently in Phase 1 clinical development, meaning it is investigational and has not yet been approved for use.

What does Aliskiren 3.125 mini target?

Aliskiren 3.125 mini targets the renin-angiotensin system, specifically inhibiting renin, an enzyme involved in blood pressure regulation. By blocking renin, the drug aims to reduce the production of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, thereby helping to lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

Who makes Aliskiren 3.125 mini?

Aliskiren 3.125 mini is developed by Novartis AG, a multinational pharmaceutical company. Novartis is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol NVS. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this drug for the treatment of hypertension.

What phase is Aliskiren 3.125 mini in?

Aliskiren 3.125 mini is in Phase 1 clinical development. This early-stage trial focuses on evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the drug. As an investigational drug, it has not yet received regulatory approval and is still undergoing clinical testing to determine its potential as a treatment for hypertension.

What clinical trials is Aliskiren 3.125 mini in?

Aliskiren 3.125 mini has one completed clinical trial, identified as NCT00834041. This Phase 1 study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of aliskiren in hypertensive pediatric and adolescent patients aged 6 to 17 years. The trial enrolled 39 participants and was conducted in the United States, Belgium, Brazil, Hungary, and Poland.

Is Aliskiren 3.125 mini the same as aliskiren?

Aliskiren 3.125 mini is a specific formulation or dosage strength of aliskiren, a drug used to treat hypertension. The clinical trial NCT00834041 evaluated aliskiren in pediatric patients, and the "3.125 mini" designation likely refers to a low-dose tablet formulation. Aliskiren is the active pharmaceutical ingredient, while the "mini" may indicate a smaller tablet size.
