Brief summary
The primary objective of this trial is to investigate the relative bioavailability of BI 655130 administered as two subcutaneous injections in the left and right periumbilical region compared to a single subcutaneous periumbilical injection of BI 655130. The secondary objective is to investigate the relative bioavailability of a single subcutaneous injection of BI 655130 into the thigh compared to a single subcutaneous periumbilical injection of BI 655130.

Recruitment details
A single dose, mono-centric, open-label study in matched-group design, that is, subjects assigned to the 3 test treatment groups were matched on an individual level for gender and body weight to subjects assigned to the reference treatment group.
Pre-assignment details
All subjects were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. Subjects attended a specialist site which ensured that they (the subjects) strictly met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. Subjects were not to be allocated to a treatment group if any of the entry criteria were violated.
