The goal of this clinical study was to learn more about BAY1747846 compared to placebo when given as an injection into the vein in Japanese healthy male participants:

• the safety of BAY1747846 when given at increasing single doses
• the level of BAY1747846 in the body over time when given at increasing single doses.

To answer the first question, the researchers compared the number and severity of medical problems the Japanese participants had after receiving BAY 1747846 at increasing doses and placebo respectively. Doctors keep track of all medical problems that happen in studies, even if they do not think they might be related to the study treatments.

To answer the second question, the researchers determined:

• the (average) total level of BAY1747846 in the body, also called AUC
• the (average) highest level of BAY1747846 in the body, also called Cmax
• how BAY1747846 is removed from the body, also called clearance (CL).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Signed informed consent prior to any study specific tests or procedures
• Ability and willingness to understand and follow study-related instructions

• History of orthostatic hypotension, fainting spells and blackouts

• Any malignant tumor and history thereof

• Any clinically relevant finding at the physical examination

• Any known disposition for allergic, anaphylactoid, hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reactions, e.g. any history of clinical signs of hypersensitivity reaction to any contrast agent

• Any clinically relevant deviation from reference ranges of the laboratory parameters at screening or alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), bilirubin exceeding the Upper limit of normal range (ULN) by more than 10%, or creatinine above the ULN, or hemoglobin below 12 g/dL

  -. Abnormal vital signs, e.g.: Systolic blood pressure <90 or >140 mmHg, Diastolic blood pressure <45 or >90 mmHg at screening

• Subjects who have participated in a clinical study of an investigational drug within 4 months or an approved drug within 3 months prior to administration of study drug

Availability of this study's data will later be determined according to Bayer's commitment to the EFPIA/PhRMA "Principles for responsible clinical trial data sharing". This pertains to scope, timepoint and process of data access. As such, Bayer commits to sharing upon request from qualified researchers patient-level clinical trial data, study-level clinical trial data, and protocols from clinical trials in patients for medicines and indications approved in the US and EU as necessary for conducting legitimate research. This applies to data on new medicines and indications that have been approved by the EU and US regulatory agencies on or after January 01, 2014.

Interested researchers can use www.vivli.org to request access to anonymized patient-level data and supporting documents from clinical studies to conduct research. Information on the Bayer criteria for listing studies and other relevant information is provided in the member section of the portal.

The study is performed according to a single-blind design, i.e. the participant is blinded to the allocation of treatment.
