Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary purpose of this phase 1 study is to investigate the absolute bio-availability of a single oral dose of selexipag, i.e., to assess the amount of selexipag which reaches the blood when administered as an oral tablet (ACT-293987) compared to an intravenous administration in healthy subjects.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A pilot phase was conducted in 3 male subjects before the main phase for assessment of absolute bio-availability conducted in 16 other male subjects. The pilot phase aimed to determine the intravenous dose to be used in the main phase based on safety data and pharmacokinetics data.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intravenous selexipag (Pilot phase)

Subjects received a 20-minute intravenous (i.v.) infusion of 50 µg selexipag

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Selexipag for intravenous use

Intervention Type DRUG

Selexipag was reconstituted in sterile 0.9% w/v NaCl before infusion via an infusion pump at a rate of 2.5 µg/min.

Sequence A-B (Main phase)

Subjects received a 80-minute i.v. infusion of 200 µg selexipag during Period 1, and 2 tablets of oral selexipag (total dose of 400 µg) as a single administration during Period 2. A washout period of 7 to 10 days separated the i.v. infusion from the oral administration.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Selexipag for intravenous use

Intervention Type DRUG

Selexipag was reconstituted in sterile 0.9% w/v NaCl before infusion via an infusion pump at a rate of 2.5 µg/min.

Selexipag for oral use

Intervention Type DRUG

Tablet containing 200 µg of selexipag

Sequence B-A (Main phase)

Subjects received 2 tablets of oral selexipag (total dose of 400 µg) as a single administration during Period 1, and a 80-minute i.v. infusion of 200 µg selexipag during Period 2. A washout period of 7 to 10 days separated the oral administration from the i.v. infusion.
