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 an investigational low-dose formulation of aliskiren studied for the treatment of hypertension. It was evaluated in pediatric and adolescent patients aged 6 to 17 years with high blood pressure. The mini-tablet format is designed to deliver a 3.125 mg dose of aliskiren.

What does Aliskiren 3.125 mini target?

Aliskiren 3.125 mini targets renin, encoded by the REN gene. It acts as a renin inhibitor, a small molecule that blocks the renin enzyme at the start of the renin-angiotensin system, which regulates blood pressure and fluid balance. Inhibiting renin reduces production of angiotensin and lowers blood pressure.

Who makes Aliskiren 3.125 mini?

Aliskiren 3.125 mini is developed by Novartis AG, which trades under the ticker NVS. Novartis is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating this low-dose aliskiren mini-tablet formulation in hypertensive pediatric and adolescent patients.

What phase is Aliskiren 3.125 mini in?

Aliskiren 3.125 mini is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication. The Phase 1 program assessed safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in children and adolescents with hypertension.

What clinical trials is Aliskiren 3.125 mini in?

Aliskiren 3.125 mini was studied in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT00834041, titled a study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of aliskiren in hypertensive pediatric and adolescent patients 6 to 17 years of age. The randomized, controlled trial enrolled 39 patients across the United States, Belgium, Brazil, Hungary, and Poland.

Is Aliskiren 3.125 mini the same as Aliskiren 3.125 mini-tablets?

Yes, Aliskiren 3.125 mini and Aliskiren 3.125 mini-tablets refer to the same investigational product from Novartis. The mini-tablet name describes the low-dose 3.125 mg oral formulation of aliskiren developed for pediatric and adolescent hypertension patients.
