About

The primary objective of this trial is to investigate the relative bioavailability of BI 685509 given alone under fasted conditions (Reference, R) compared to the intake after a high fat, high caloric breakfast (Test 1, T1), to combined administration with itraconazole under fasted conditions (Test 2, T2) and to combined administration with rifampin under fasted conditions (Test 3, T3).

The secondary objective is the evaluation and comparison of several pharmacokinetic parameters between the treatments.

Full description

BI 685509 is a substrate of the drug transporters P-gp and Organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 and 1B3 (OATP1B1/OATP1B3). Inhibition of these transport proteins may result in an increased drug exposure which might impact the safety of the patients. Therefore this trial should investigate whether and to what extent the inhibition of P-gp (mediated by itraconazole) and the inhibition of OATP1B1/OATP1B3 (mediated by rifampin) affects kinetics of BI 685509. Itraconazole and rifampin are recommended probe drugs to test in-vivo inhibition of P-gp and OATP1B1/OATP1B3.

Furthermore the food effect will be investigated in this study.

Exclusion criteria

• Any finding in the medical examination (including Blood Pressure [BP], Pulse Rate [PR] or Electrocardiogram [ECG]) is deviating from normal and judged as clinically relevant by the investigator

• Any evidence of a concomitant disease judged as clinically relevant by the investigator
• Gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, immunological or hormonal disorders
• Cholecystectomy and/or surgery of the gastrointestinal tract that could interfere with the pharmacokinetics of the trial medication (except appendectomy and simple hernia repair)

• History of relevant orthostatic hypotension, fainting spells, or blackouts
• Chronic or relevant acute infections
• History of relevant allergy or hypersensitivity (including allergy to the trial medication or its excipients)
• Use of drugs within 30 days prior to administration of trial medication if that might reasonably influence the results of the trial (incl. Time between start of the Q-wave and the end of the T-wave in an electrocardiogram/ corrected QT interval [QT/QTc] interval prolongation)
• Participation in another trial where an investigational drug has been administered within 60 days prior to planned administration of trial medication, or current participation in another trial involving administration of investigational
• Smoker (more than 10 cigarettes or 3 cigars or 3 pipes per day)
• Inability to refrain from smoking on specified trial days
• Alcohol abuse (consumption of more than 24 g per day for males)
• Drug abuse or positive drug screening
• Blood donation of more than 100 mL within 30 days prior to administration of trial medication or intended donation during the trial
• Intention to perform excessive physical activities within one week prior to administration of trial medication or during the trial
• Inability to comply with dietary regimen of trial site
• A marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval (such as QTc intervals that are repeatedly greater than 450 ms in males or any other relevant Electrocardiogram [ECG] finding at screening
• A history of additional risk factors for Torsades de Pointes (such as heart failure, hypokalemia, or family history of Long QT Syndrome)
• 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
