About this study

Official title: Relative Bioavailability Study to Investigate the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of Single Oral Doses of Finerenone 1.25 mg and 5 x 0.25 mg Orodispersible Tablet (Pediatric Formulation) in Comparison to 10 mg Tablet (Adult Formulation) in the Fasting Condition and to Investigate the Effect of a High Fat, High Calorie Meal on 1.25 mg Oro-dispersible Tablet in Healthy Male Subjects in a Randomized, Open-label, Four-fold Crossover Design

Finerenone is developed for the treatment of diabetic kidney disease (adults) and chronic kidney disease (children). The purpose of the proposed trial is to test the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of finerenone (1.25 mg tablet and 5 x 0.25 mg tablets) using a novel orodispersible tablet formulation for the treatment of children, in comparison to the adult tablet formulation.

Being tested
Finerenone (BAY94-8862): 1 0mg tablet, Finerenone (BAY94-8862): 5 X 0.25 mg oro-dispersible tablets, Finerenone (BAY94-8862): 1.25 mg oro-dispersible tablet

  2. Finerenone maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5. 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15 and 24 hours

  3. Appearance of oro-dispersible tablets assessed by questionnaire

    Measured: Up to 5 minutes after drug administration

  4. Taste of oro-dispersible tablets assessed by questionnaire

    Measured: Up to 5 minutes after drug administration

  5. Texture of oro-dispersible tablets assessed by questionnaire

    Measured: Up to 5 minutes after drug administration

  6. Smell of oro-dispersible tablets assessed by questionnaire

    Measured: Up to 5 minutes after drug administration

  7. Overall impression of oro-dispersible tablets assessed by questionnaire

    Measured: Up to 5 minutes after drug administration

  8. Whether oro-dispersible tablets are palatable and swallowable assessed by questionnaire

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Finerenone (BAY94-8862): 1 0mg tablet, Finerenone (BAY94-8862): 5 X 0.25 mg oro-dispersible tablets and Finerenone (BAY94-8862): 1.25 mg oro-dispersible tablet in people with Pharmacokinetics, 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 4 inclusion and 9 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 11 Jul 2017. 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?

Finerenone area under the plasma concentration vs. time curve (AUC) (time frame: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5. 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 15 and 24 hours). The study lists 8 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 11 Jul 2017.
