Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Primary objective of the study is to investigate the effect of capadenoson (BAY 68-4986) 4 mg granulate once daily for 5 days on rate control in patients with atrial fibrillation in comparison to baseline. The reduction of HR will be assessed in a 24 h long term ECG as well as during an exercise tolerance test (ETT).;Primary end point(s): not applicable;Secondary Objective: Secondary objective of the study is to investigate safety and tolerability of this treatment with capadenoson. In addition, the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of capadenoson during this treatment will be assessed. The relationship between plasma concentrations of capadenoson and its effect on HR will also be investigated in patients with persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation.
