A Study in Healthy People to Measure the Amount of BI 655130 in the Blood After Injecting Different Doses Into Different Parts of the Body

Relative Bioavailability, Safety, and Tolerability Following Subcutaneous Injection of Different Doses of BI 655130 and Different Injection Sites in Healthy Male and Female Subjects (a Single Dose, Mono-centric, Open-label Study in Matched-group Design).

The primary objective of this trial is to investigate the relative bioavailability of BI 655130 administered as two subcutaneous injections in the left and right periumbilical region compared to a single subcutaneous periumbilical injection of BI 655130.

The secondary objective is to investigate the relative bioavailability of a single subcutaneous injection of BI 655130 into the thigh compared to a single subcutaneous periumbilical injection of BI 655130.

• Subject is assessed as unsuitable for inclusion by the investigator, for instance, because considered not able to understand and comply with study requirements, or has a condition that would not allow safe participation in the study
