About this study
Official title: A Single-blind, Placebo Controlled, Dose Escalation Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of BAY 3389934 Intravenous Infusions in Healthy Japanese Participants.
This study is designed to evaluate a new investigational drug, BAY 3389934, in healthy Japanese volunteers. The primary purpose is to see how safe the drug is and how well it is tolerated by the body when given at different doses. BAY 3389934 is being developed for the potential treatment of a serious blood clotting condition called sepsis-associated disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The research will be conducted as a single-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study. This means that participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the active drug (BAY 3389934) or a placebo (an inactive substance), and they will not know which one they are receiving. The study will involve up to 16 healthy male and female Japanese participants, aged between 18 and 55. The study consists of two parts, called dose steps. In the first step, participants will receive a single 4-hour intravenous (IV) infusion of BAY 3389934 at a dose of 15 mg/h, or a placebo. Based on the safety and tolerability results from this first step, a second, higher dose will be selected for the next group of participants in the second step. Throughout the study, researchers will closely monitor participants for any side effects (adverse events). They will also collect blood and urine samples to study how the drug is absorbed, distributed, and eliminated by the body (pharmacokinetics or PK) and what effects it has on the body's clotting system (pharmacodynamics or PD). This involves measuring specific substances in the blood, such as activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and prothrombin time (PT). Participants will stay at the study center for 4 days and will have a follow-up visit 3 to 5 days after they are discharged. The information gathered from this study is crucial for the future clinical development of BAY 3389934 in Japan and for designing future studies in patients with septic DIC.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Investigate the safety and tolerability of BAY 3389934 15 mg/h and a second, higher dose (will be determined based on the result of 15 mg/h dose step), 4-hours infusion, respectively.
Measured: From start of study intervention until the follow-up visit (approximately 5 weeks)
Secondary outcomes (7)
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Profile of BAY 3389934 - Cmax

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 7 inclusion and 14 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in Japan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: From start of study intervention until the follow-up visit (approximately 5 weeks)). 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 5 Jun 2026.
