Phase I Relative Bioavailability and food effect study

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 oro-dispersible 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

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. The informed consent must be signed before any study specific tests or procedures are done 2. Healthy male subject 3. Age: 18 to 45 years (inclusive) at the first screening examination/visit 4. Race: White 5. Body mass index (BMI): =18 and =29.9 kg/ m² 6. Ability to understand and follow study-related instructions 7. Confirmation of the subject’s health insurance coverage prior to the first screening examination/ visit 8.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objectives of this study are to -investigate the relative bioavailability of a single oral dose of 1.25 mg finerenone ODT and 5 x 0.25 mg ODT (pediatric formulation) in comparison to 10 mg finerenone (adult formulation) tablet in the fasting condition -investigate the effect of a high fat, high calorie meal on the pharmacokinetics after a single oral dose of 1.25 mg finerenone ODT -investigate whether the finerenone ODTs are palatable and swallowable;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective of this study is to -investigate the safety and tolerability of single oral doses of finerenone;Primary end point(s): AUC/D* and Cmax/D of finerenone * AUC(0-tlast)/D will be used as main parameter if mean AUC(tlast-8) >20% of AUC ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Blood-plasma sampling for finerenone will be performed from pre-dose up to 24 hours after drug administration in each treatment period.
