Details and patient eligibility

About

The primary objective of this trial is to investigate the relative bioavailability of BI 409306 tablets with prior 7-day intake of rifampicin tablets (Test, T) compared to BI 409306 tablets without prior administration of rifampicin (Reference, R) following oral administration in healthy male subjects.

The secondary objective is the evaluation and comparison of several pharmacokinetic parameters between the treatments. The secondary objectives will be assessed by descriptive statistics.

Enrollment: 15 patients

Sex: Male

Ages: 18 to 55 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria

• Any laboratory value outside the reference range that the investigator considers to be of clinical relevance
• 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. 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 drug
• Current smoker or ex-smoker who quit smoking less than 30 days prior to screening.
• Inability to refrain from smoking on specified trial days
• Alcohol abuse (consumption of more than 30 g per day)
• 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
• 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

In addition, the following trial-specific exclusion criteria apply:

• History of relevant liver diseases such as disturbance of liver function, jaundice, drug induced liver injury, Dubin-Johnson syndrome, Rotor syndrome, or liver tumours
• Thrombocytes below lower limit of normal or liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT, AP) above upper limit of normal at the screening examination
• Subjects with CYP 2C19 PM status

Trial design

Primary purpose: Treatment

Allocation: N/A

Interventional model: Single Group Assignment

Masking: None (Open label)

15 participants in 1 patient group

BI 409306 (R), then BI 409306 after pretreatment with rifampicin (T)

Experimental group

Description:

Subjects were administered during Period 1 on Day 1/Visit 2 a single dose of 50 milligrams (mg) of BI 409306 film-coated tablet orally with 240 millilitre (mL) of water (reference treatment, R). On Days -7 to -1 /Visit 3 of Period 2 participants were administered rifampicin 600 mg Eremfat® film-coated tablet orally with 240 mL of water once per day during the evenings. Afterwards on Day 1/Visit 3, participants were administered a single dose of 50 mg BI 409306 orally approximately 14 hours after the last rifampicin dose (test treatment, T). Due to the short half-life of BI 409306, trial period 2 directly followed trial period 1 without a wash-out period.

Treatment:

Drug: BI 409306

Drug: Rifampicin
