To Assess Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of BI 730357 in Healthy Male Volunteers

A Partially Randomised, Single-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial to Investigate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Single Rising Doses of BI 730357 Administered as Oral Solution and Tablets to Healthy Subjects, and a Randomized, Open-label, Single-dose, Three-way Cross-over Bioavailability Comparison of BI 730357 as Tablet Versus Oral Solution and Tablet With and Without Food

The primary objective of the Single Rising Dose (SRD) part (trial part 1) is to investigate the safety and tolerability of BI 730357 in healthy subjects following oral administration of single rising doses after fasting and/or non-fasting conditions. The secondary objective is the exploration of the pharmacokinetics (PK) including dose proportionality, and pharmacodynamics of BI 730357 after single dosing.

The objective of the Bioavailability (BA) part (trial part 2) will be to explore the relative bioavailability of tablet fasted versus oral solution fasted and the influence of food on the bioavailability of tablet fasted versus tablet fed.

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).
