Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Nerandomilast (18 mg) in treatment sequence R-T1-T2; Participants first received a single oral dose of 1 tablet of 18 milligrams (mg) nerandomilast adult formulation in the fasted state (Reference treatment, R), followed by a single oral dose of 18 tablets of 1 mg nerandomilast pediatric formulation in the fasted state (Treatment, T1), and then 18 tablets of 1 mg of nerandomilast pediatric formulation in the fed state as a single oral dose (Treatment, T2). Treatments were separated by a wash-out period of at least 7 days and treatments were taken with 240 mL of water after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours (hrs) for R and T1, or after a high-fat, high-calorie breakfast for T2.

Primary Outcome Measures

Geometric least square mean (adjusted geometric mean) and standard error (adjusted geometric standard error) were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model on the logarithmic scale restricted to the data of interest for each comparison. The pharmacokinetic (PK) endpoints were log-transformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model. The model included the effect 'subjects within sequences' as random and the other effects of sequence, period and treatment were considered as fixed. These quantities were then back-transformed to the original scale to provide the point estimate and the 90% confidence interval (CI).

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).
