What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Zero to Infinity (AUC) of Riociguat and its Analyte M1 (BAY60-4552)

    AUC is a measure of systemic drug exposure, which is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample. AUC is defined as area under concentration versus time curve from time 0 (predose) to extrapolated infinite time. Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported.

    Measured: 0 hour (predose), 15, 30, 45 minutes; 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours postdose

  2. Maximum Observed Drug Concentration (Cmax) of Riociguat and its Analyte M1 (BAY60-4552) After a Single Dose

    Cmax refers to the highest measured drug concentration which is obtained by collecting a series of plasma samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample. Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported.

    Measured: 0 hour (predose), 15, 30, 45 minutes; 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours postdose

  3. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Zero to Infinity Divided by Dose (AUC/D) of Riociguat and its Analyte M1 (BAY60-4552) After a Single Dose

    Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported.

    Measured: 0 hour (predose), 15, 30, 45 minutes; 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours postdose

  4. Maximum Observed Drug Concentration Adjusted by Dose (Cmax/D) of Riociguat and its Analyte M1 (BAY60-4552) After a Single Dose

    Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported.

    Measured: 0 hour (predose), 15, 30, 45 minutes; 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours postdose

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Zero to Infinity Divided by Dose per Kilogram Body Weight (AUC,norm) of Riociguat and its Analyte M1 (BAY60-4552) After a Single Dose

    AUC is a measure of the plasma concentration of the drug over time. It is used to characterize drug absorption. AUCnorm is defined as AUC divided by dose per kg body weight.

  2. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration Divided by Dose per Kilogram Body Weight (Cmax,norm) of Riociguat and its Analyte M1 (BAY60-4552) After a Single Dose

    Cmax refers to the highest measured drug concentration which is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample. Cmax,norm is defined as Cmax divided by dose per kg body weight.

    Measured: 0 hour (predose), 15, 30, 45 minutes; 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours postdose

  3. Time to Reach Maximum Drug Concentration in Plasma (tmax) of Riociguat and its Analyte M1 (BAY60-4552) After a Single Dose

    tmax refers to the time after dosing when a drug attains its highest measurable concentration (Cmax). It is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples at various times after dosing, and measuring them for drug content.

    Half life associated with terminal slope refers to the elimination of the drug. It is the time taken for the blood plasma concentration to reach half the concentration in the terminal phase of elimination. It is expressed in hours and derived from the terminal slope of the concentration versus time curve. Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported.

    Measured: 0 hour (predose), 15, 30, 45 minutes; 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours postdose

    AUC is a measure of systemic drug exposure, which is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample. AUC(0-tlast) is defined as AUC from time zero to the last data point above the lower limit of quantification. Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported.

    Measured: 0 hour (predose), 15, 30, 45 minutes; 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours postdose

    AUC is a measure of systemic drug exposure, which is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample. AUC(0-tlast), norm is defined as AUC from time zero to the last data point above the lower limit of quantification divided by dose per kg body weight. Geometric mean and percentage geometric coefficient of variation (%CV) were reported.

    AUC is a measure of systemic drug exposure, which is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample. AUC(0-tlast)/D is defined as AUC from time zero to the last data point above the lower limit of quantification divided by dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Riociguat (BAY63-2521) in people with Pharmacology, Clinical, run by Bayer at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Zero to Infinity (AUC) of Riociguat and its Analyte M1 (BAY60-4552) (time frame: 0 hour (predose), 15, 30, 45 minutes; 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours postdose). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jul 2015.
