4.2 Drug Indication

Riociguat is indicated for the treatment of adults with persistent/recurrent chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), (WHO Group 4) after surgical treatment, or inoperable CTEPH, to improve exercise capacity and WHO functional class. Riociguat is indicated for the treatment of adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), (WHO Group 1), to improve exercise capacity, WHO functional class and to delay clinical worsening. Efficacy was shown in patients on Riociguat monotherapy or in combination with endothelin receptor antagonists or prostanoids. Studies establishing effectiveness included predominately patients with WHO functional class IIIII and etiologies of idiopathic or heritable PAH (61%) or PAH associated with connective tissue diseases (25%).


FDA Label


Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)

Adempas is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with WHO Functional Class (FC) II to III with

- inoperable CTEPH,

- persistent or recurrent CTEPH after surgical treatment,

to improve exercise capacity (see section 5. 1).

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)

Adempas, as monotherapy or in combination with endothelin receptor antagonists, is indicated for the

treatment of adult patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) with WHO Functional Class

(FC) II to III to improve exercise capacity.

Efficacy has been shown in a PAH population including aetiologies of idiopathic or heritable PAH or

PAH associated with connective tissue disease (see section 5. 1).

5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

The pharmacokinetics of riociguant are dose proportional from 0.5 mg to 2.5 mg. The absolute bioavailability is approximately 94%. After oral administration, peak plasma concentrations were achieved within 1.5 hours. Food does not affect the bioavailability of riociguat.


Route of Elimination

Riociguat is eliminated in the urine (40%) and feces (53%), largely as metabolites.


Volume of Distribution

Volume of distribution at steady state = 30 L


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

The active metabolite (M1) of riociguat is 1/3 to 1/10 as potent as riociguat.


5.6 Biological Half-Life

About 12 hours in patients and 7 hours in healthy subjects.


5.7 Mechanism of Action

Riociguat is a stimulator of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), an enzyme in the cardiopulmonary system and the receptor for nitric oxide (NO). When NO binds to sGC, the enzyme catalyzes synthesis of the signaling molecule cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Intracellular cGMP plays an important role in regulating processes that influence vascular tone, proliferation, fibrosis and inflammation. Pulmonary hypertension is associated with endothelial dysfunction, impaired synthesis of nitric oxide and insufficient stimulation of the NO-sGC-cGMP pathway. Riociguat has a dual mode of action. It sensitizes sGC to endogenous NO by stabilizing the NO-sGC binding. Riociguat also directly stimulates sGC via a different binding site, independently of NO. Riociguat stimulates the NO-sGC-cGMP pathway and leads to increased generation of cGMP with subsequent vasodilation.
