Brief summary
The objective of this study was to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of BI 201335 NA following administration of single rising doses from 4 mg to 1200 mg. In addition, the food effect on the bioavailability of BI 201335 NA (480 mg) was investigated.

Inclusion criteria
* Healthy males according to the following criteria: Based upon a complete medical history, including the physical examination, vital signs (Blood Pressure (BP), Pulse Rate (PR)), 12-lead ECG (electrocardiogram), clinical laboratory tests * Age ≥18 and Age ≤50 years * BMI ≥18.5 and BMI ≤29.9 kg/m2 (Body Mass Index) * Signed and dated written informed consent prior to admission to the study in accordance with GCP (Good Clinical Practice) and the local legislation
Exclusion criteria
* Any finding of the medical examination (including BP, PR and ECG) deviating from normal and of clinical relevance * Any evidence of a clinically relevant concomitant disease * Gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, immunological or hormonal disorders * Prior history of jaundice * Surgery of the gastrointestinal tract (except appendectomy) * Diseases of the central nervous system (such as epilepsy) or psychiatric disorders or neurological disorders * History of relevant orthostatic hypotension, fainting spells or blackouts * Chronic or relevant acute infections * History of relevant allergy/hypersensitivity (including allergy to drug or its excipients) * Intake of drugs with a long half-life (\> 24 hours) within at least one month or less than 10 half-lives of the respective drug prior to administration or during the trial * Use of drugs which might reasonably influence the results of the trial or that prolong the QT/QTc interval based on the knowledge at the time of protocol preparation within 10 days prior to administration or during the trial * Participation in another trial with an investigational drug within two months prior to administration or during the trial * Smoker (\> 10 cigarettes or \> 3 cigars or \> 3 pipes/day) * Inability to refrain from smoking alcohol and on trial days * Alcohol abuse (more than 60 g/day) * Drug abuse * Blood donation (more than 100 mL within four weeks prior to administration or during the trial) * Excessive physical activities (within one week prior to administration or during the trial) * Any laboratory value outside the reference range that is of clinical relevance * Inability to comply with dietary regimen of trial site * A marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval (e.g., repeated demonstration of a QTc interval \>450 ms) * A history of additional risk factors for TdP (torsade de pointes) (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of Long QT Syndrome)
