Participant flow

Pre-assignment details

This was a randomised, open-label trial with a 2-way cross-over Pilot part, followed by a 2-way cross-over Main part. Subjects participated either in the Pilot part with 2 treatment sequences (A\_B and B\_A) or in the Main part with treatment sequences (C\_D and D\_C) with wash-out period of at least 14 days between each sequence.

Overall Study
This was a randomised, open-label trial in healthy male subjects with a 2-way cross-over Pilot part, followed by a 2-way cross-over Main part. Subjects participated either in the Pilot part with 2 treatments (A and B) given in 1 of the 2 treatment sequences (A\_B and B\_A) or in the Main part with also 2 treatments (C and D) given in 1 of the 2 treatment sequences (C\_D and D\_C). Nintedanib administrations of the 2 respective treatments (A and B or C and D) were to be separated by a wash-out period of at least 14 days. The Pilot part was separated from the Main part by at least 3 weeks to allow for interim analysis

Outcome results

Primary

Area Under the Curve From 0 Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-∞)

AUC0-∞ represents the Area under the concentration-time curve of nintedanib in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity For this endpoint, the measured values show inter-individual variabilities, whereas the statistical analyses show intra-individual variabilities

Time frame: 1 hour (h) before drug administration and 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 2.5h, 3h, 3.5h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 15h, 24h, 36h, 48h and 72h after the drug administration

Population: The treated set (TS) includes all subjects who were dispensed study medication and were documented to have taken at least one dose of study medication (nintedanib or ketoconazole).
