1 Overall Study
This bioequivalence study will be conducted in a single center, randomized, non-blinded, two-way crossover design. The bioequivalence between finerenone 2 x 20 mg tablets and 1 x 40 mg tablet will be assessed.
Randomised Controlled None finerenone sequences: 1 x 40 mg_2 x 20 mg: Subjects will receive a single oral dose of 40 mg (1 x 40 mg tablet) finerenone first, with a washout period of at least 72 hours, subjects will then receive another single oral dose of 40 mg (2 x 20 mg tablets) finerenone
finerenone sequences: 2 x 20 mg _1 x 40 mg: Subjects will receive a single oral dose of 40 mg (2 x 20 mg tablets) finerenone first, with a washout period of at least 72 hours, subjects will then receive another single oral dose of 40 mg (1 x 40 mg tablet) finerenone

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 4

  1. Participant must be 18 to 55 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
  2. Participants who are overtly healthy as determined by medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, body temperature, vital signs, and ECG.
  3. BMI within the range 18.0 to 29.9 kg/m2 (inclusive) at the screening visit.
  4. Contraceptive use by men and female partners should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.

Exclusion criteria 6

  1. Known hypersensitivity to any study intervention (active substances or excipients of the preparations) to be used in the study – including e.g., non-investigational medicinal products, challenge agents, or rescue medication.
  2. Participant with thyroid disorders as evidenced by assessment of thyroid stimulating hormone level outside the normal reference range at the screening visit.
  3. Medical disorder, condition or history of such that would impair the participant’s ability to take part in or complete this study in the opinion of the investigator.

  5. Use of systemic or topical medicines or substances which might influence the study objectives.
  6. Suspicion of drug or alcohol abuse.
