Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Healthy male or female subjects according to the assessment of the investigator, as based on a complete medical histo1y including a physical examination, vital signs (blood pressure (BP), pulse rate (PR)), 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory tests
  2. Age of 18 to 55 years (inclusive)

  4. Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with ICH-GCP and local legislation prior to admission to the trial Further inclusion criteria apply.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Any finding in the medical examination (including BP, PR or ECG) deviating from normal and assessed as clinically relevant by the investigator
  2. Repeated measurement of systolic blood pressure outside the range of 90 to 140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure outside the range of 50 to 90 mmHg, or pulse rate outside the range of 45 to 90 beats per minute (bpm)
  3. Any laboratory value outside the reference range that the investigator considers to be of clinical relevance
  4. Any evidence of a concomitant disease assessed as clinically relevant by the investigator Further exclusion criteria apply.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of Pramipexole in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 to the Last Quantifiable Data Point (AUC0-tz)
Time Frame: Within 3 hours prior to drug administration and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 34 and 48 hours following administration.

Area under the concentration-time curve of pramipexole in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable data point (AUC0-tz).

Data was derived from an Analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the logarithmic scale including effects for sequence, subjects nested within sequences, period and treatment. The effect 'subjects within sequences' were considered as random, whereas the other effects were considered as fixed. CIs were calculated based on the residual error from the ANOVA and quantiles from the t-distribution. These quantities were then back-transformed to the original scale to provide the point estimate and 90% CIs for each endpoint.

Within 3 hours prior to drug administration and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 34 and 48 hours following administration.
Maximum Measured Concentration of Pramipexole in Plasma (Cmax)
Time Frame: Within 3 hours prior to drug administration and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 34 and 48 hours following administration.

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?

NO

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).
