Trial Outcomes & Findings for Relative Bioavailability of Evobrutinib Tablet Batches (NCT NCT07214922)

NCT ID: NCT07214922

Last Updated: 2025-12-23

Results Overview

AUC0-inf was calculated by combining AUC0-t and AUCextra. AUCextra represents an extrapolated value obtained by Clast pred/Lambda z, where Clast pred was the calculated plasma concentration at the last sampling time point at which the measured plasma concentration is at or above the Lower Limit of quantification (LLOQ) and Lambda z was the apparent terminal rate constant determined by log-linear regression analysis of the measured plasma concentrations of the terminal log-linear phase.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 24 hours post-dose on Days 1, 3, 5 and 7

Population: Pharmacokinetic (PK) Analysis Set was a subset of the Safety Analysis Set and included all participants who receive at least one dose of active investigational medicinal product (IMP) and provide at least one measurable post-dose concentration.

AUC0-inf was calculated by combining AUC0-t and AUCextra. AUCextra represents an extrapolated value obtained by Clast pred/Lambda z, where Clast pred was the calculated plasma concentration at the last sampling time point at which the measured plasma concentration is at or above the Lower Limit of quantification (LLOQ) and Lambda z was the apparent terminal rate constant determined by log-linear regression analysis of the measured plasma concentrations of the terminal log-linear phase.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 34 days

Population: Safety (SAF) analysis set included all participants, who were administered any dose of any study intervention.

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether considered related to the study intervention or not. A serious AE was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. TEAEs were defined as events with onset date or worsening during the on-treatment period. TEAEs included both serious and non-serious TEAEs.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 34 days

Population: Safety (SAF) analysis set included all participants, who were administered any dose of any study intervention.

The Investigator assessed the severity of each AE and SAE reported during the study and assign it to one of the following categories: Mild: An event that is easily tolerated by the participant, causing minimal discomfort and not interfering with everyday activities; Moderate: An event that causes sufficient discomfort and interferes with normal everyday activities; Severe: An event that prevents normal everyday activities. Do not confuse an AE that is assessed as severe with a SAE. Severe is a category used to rate the intensity of an event; both AEs and SAEs can be assessed as severe.
