Study of Finerenone to Investigate a Paediatric Formulation in Healthy Male Subjects

Finerenone is developed for the treatment of diabetic kidney disease (adults) and chronic kidney disease (children). The purpose of the proposed trial is to test the pharmacokinetics of a novel liquid formulation for the treatment of children in comparison to the adult tablet formulation.
