Safety, Tolerance, and Pharmacokinetics of Single Oral Doses of 4 mg, 16 mg, 48 mg, 120 mg, 240 mg, 480 mg, 800 mg, and 1200 mg BI 201335 NA (PEG 400/TRIS/Meglumine/Water Solution) in Healthy Male Subjects, in a Randomised Single Blind, Placebo Controlled Rising Dose Study, Followed With an Open-label Intra-subject Two-stage Crossover Pilot Bioavailability Comparison of 480 mg BI 201335 NA in a PEG 400/TRIS/Meglumine/Water Solution Coadministered With Food

The objective of this study was to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of BI 201335 NA following administration of single rising doses from 4 mg to 1200 mg. In addition, the food effect on the bioavailability of BI 201335 NA (480 mg) was investigated.
