What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. PR intervals measured by 12-lead ECG (Part A + Part B)

    Absolute PR intervals and corresponding changes from baseline at the different days of measurement

    Measured: Days 1 and 6 (Part A); Days 1, 6, 8, 9, 15, and 16 (Part B)

  2. Heart rate (HR) measured by 12-lead ECG (PArt A + Part B)

    Absolute heart rates at the different days of measurement

    Measured: Days 1 and 6 (Part A); Days 1, 6, 8, 9, 15, and 16 (Part B)

  3. Hourly mean heart rate (HR) measured by 24-hour Holter ECG

    Absolute and change from baseline in hourly mean HR on each day of measurement

    Measured: Days 1 and 6 (Part A); Days 1, 6, 8, 9, 15, and 16 (Part B

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Areas under the plasma concentration-time curves (AUC) for ACT-334441, diltiazem and atenolol (Part B)

    AUCs will be calculated will be calculated according to the linear trapezoidal rule for the following periods: from zero to time t of the last measured concentration above the limit of quantification, from zero to 24h after study drug administration, from zero to infinity)

    Measured: Blood samples from Day 1 to Day 20 for the PK profile of diltiazem and atenolol, and from Day 8 to Day 21 for the PK profile of ACT-334441.

  2. Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) for ACT-334441, diltiazem and atenolol (Part B)

    The measured individual concentrations of ACT-334441, diltiazem and atenolol will be used to obtain their respective Cmax

    Measured: From Day 1 to Day 20 for diltiazem and atenolol; from Day 8 to Day 21 for ACT-33444.

  3. Time to reach the maximum plasma concentration (tmax) for ACT-334441, diltiazem and atenolol (Part B)

    The measured individual concentrations of ACT-334441, diltiazem and atenolol will be used to obtain their respective tmax

    Measured: From Day 1 to Day 20 for diltiazem and atenolol; from Day 8 to Day 21 for ACT-33444

  4. Terminal half-life [t(1/2)] of ACT-334441, diltiazem and atenolol (Part B)

    Time required for the plasma concentration of a drug to decrease by 50% in the final stage of its elimination

    Measured: From Day 1 to Day 20 for diltiazem and atenolol; from Day 8 to Day 21 for ACT-33444

  5. Trough plasma levels (Ctrough) of of ACT-334441, diltiazem and atenolol (Part B)

    Ctrough will be used to determine the attainment of steady state conditions

    Measured: From Day 1 to Day 15 for diltiazem and atenolol; from Day 8 to Day 15 for ACT-33444

  6. Number of subjects with adverse events as a measure of safety

    An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, including an abnormal laboratory finding, symptom or disease, that occurs during the course of the study, whether or not considered related to the study drug

    Measured: From baseline to end of study [Day 20-23 (Part A), Day 556-59 (Part B)]

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ACT-334441 2 mg, ACT-334441 4 mg and Atenolol in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Viatris Innovation GmbH at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Based on results from the pilot phase, the study is terminated. No safety events leading to discontinuation were reported). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PR intervals measured by 12-lead ECG (Part A + Part B) (time frame: Days 1 and 6 (Part A); Days 1, 6, 8, 9, 15, and 16 (Part B)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Sep 2025.
