Relative Bioavailability of BI 1015550 Following Oral Administration Under Fed and Fasted Conditions in Healthy Male Subjects

November 14, 2025 updated by: Boehringer Ingelheim

The primary objective of this trial is to investigate the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of the oral tablet formulation of BI 1015550 by investigating the relative bioavailability of TF1 under fed and fasted conditions.

The assessment of safety and tolerability will be an additional objective of this part.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of BI 1015550 in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 to the Last Quantifiable Data Point (AUC0-tz)
Time Frame: Pharmacokinetic samples were collected at 3:00 (hours:minutes) before and 0:15, 0:30, 0:45, 1:00, 1:15, 1:30, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00, 12:00, 24:00, 34:00, 48:00, 72:00, 96:00 and 120:00 (hours:minutes) after drug administration on day 1.
AUC0-tz, area under the concentration-time curve of BI 1015550 in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable data point. Geometric least square mean (adjusted geometric mean) and adjusted geometric standard error were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model on the logarithmic scale. The pharmacokinetic (PK) endpoints were log-transformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model. The model included effects accounting for the following sources of variation: 'sequence', 'subjects within sequence', 'period', and 'treatment'. The effect 'subjects within sequences' was considered as random, whereas the other effects were considered as fixed. Adjusted mean estimates and their difference on log-scale were back-transformed to the original scale.
Pharmacokinetic samples were collected at 3:00 (hours:minutes) before and 0:15, 0:30, 0:45, 1:00, 1:15, 1:30, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00, 12:00, 24:00, 34:00, 48:00, 72:00, 96:00 and 120:00 (hours:minutes) after drug administration on day 1.

IPD Plan Description

Clinical studies sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, phases I to IV, interventional and non-interventional, are in scope for sharing of the raw clinical study data and clinical study documents. Exceptions might apply, e.g. studies in products where Boehringer Ingelheim is not the license holder; studies regarding pharmaceutical formulations and associated analytical methods, and studies pertinent to pharmacokinetics using human biomaterials; studies conducted in a single center or targeting rare diseases(in case of low number of patients and therefore limitations with anonymization).
