About

The primary objective of this trial is to investigate the safety and tolerability of BI 1060469 in healthy male and female subjects after oral administration of repeated rising doses of 3 mg, 10 mg, 25 mg, 75 mg, 150 mg and 250 mg qd. of 1 day followed by 14 days and in asthmatic male and female patients after oral administration of repeated rising doses of 25 mg and 150 mg qd of 1 day followed by 28 days.

Secondary objectives are the exploration of the pharmacokinetics (PK) including dose proportionality, dose linearity after single and multiple dose segments, pharmacodynamics (PD) of BI 1060469 and to describe the PK/PD relationship.

Enrollment: 131 patients

Inclusion criteria

1. Healthy or otherwise healthy asthmatic male or female subjects according to the investigator's assessment, as based on the following criteria: a complete medical history including a physical examination,vital signs (BP, PR),12-lead ECG, and clinical laboratory tests

   Amended part under fed conditions:

   Healthy female subjects according to the investigator's assessment, as based on the following criteria: a complete medical history including a physical examination, vital signs (BP, PR),12-lead ECG, and clinical laboratory tests.

   • surgically sterilised (including hysterectomy)
   • postmenopausal defined as at least 1 year of spontaneous amenorrhea (in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous levels of FSH above 40 U/L and estradiol below 30 ng/L is confirmatory)

   Amended part under fed conditions:

   Female subjects who meet any of the following criteria starting from at least 30 days before the first administration of trial medication and until 30 days after trial completion:

   • Use of adequate contraception, e.g. any of the following methods plus condom: implants,injectables,combined oral or vaginal contraceptives,intrauterine device

   • A vasectomised sexual partner (vasectomy at least 1 year prior to enrolment)
   • Surgically sterilised (including hysterectomy)
   • Postmenopausal,defined as at least 1 year of spontaneous amenorrhea (in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous levels of FSH above 40 U/L and estradiol below 30 ng/L is confirmatory) In addition for otherwise healthy asthmatic patients

6. Females (of non-child bearing potential) & males,who have a diagnosis of asthma by a physician at least 3 months prior to screening.The diagnosis of asthma must be according to the 2010 Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guidelines

7. Pre-bronchodilator clinic measured FEV1 =70% of predicted normal (calculated according to NHANES) measured =6 hours after the last use of short acting bronchodilator at Visit 1 or on the day of randomisation

8. Improvement in FEV1 =12% above baseline or an absolute change of at least 200ml within 15-30 minutes after administration of 400 µg salbutamol. Reversibility testing may be repeated twice during the screening period.At minimum reversibility must have been documented within 12 months prior to inclusion.In case airway reversibility cannot be demonstrated subjects may be entered on the basis of a documented valid mannitol challenge test or proven methacholine- or histamine induced airway hyperreactivity according to ATS,which has to be demonstrated within the last 12 months prior to randomisation

9. Diagnosis of asthma must have been made before the subject's age of 40.If the subject is =40 years and the diagnosis has not yet been recorded in the subject's medical files, the investigator should assess whether the subject's medical history (e.g. symptoms and prescribed medications) confirms the subject suffered from asthma since before the age of 40.If so,this subject may be considered for inclusion after consultation with the Clinical Monitor Local (CML)

10. Subject must have stable asthma not exceeding 8 puffs of salbutamol/day on two consecutive days or 12 puffs/ day between inclusion and randomisation

Exclusion criteria

2. Repeated measurement of systolic blood pressure greater than 140 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure greater than 90 mm Hg, or pulse rate outside the range of 50 to 90 mmHg

3. Any laboratory value outside the reference range that the investigator considers to be of clinical relevance

4. Serum creatinine laboratory value out of the normal range

5. GFR according to CKD-EPI-Formula < 80 ml/ min at screening [R12-1392]

6. Current or history of relevant kidney, urinay tract diseases or abnormalities (i.e. nephrolithiasis, hydronephrosis, acute or chronic nephritis, renal injury, renal failure, infections)
