Brief summary

The main objective of Trial Parts 1 and 2 is to investigate the relative bioavailability of two tablet strengths (low dose and high dose) of the intended Commercial Formulation of BI 730357 (Test, T) versus with the corresponding tablet strengths of Trial Formulation 1 (Reference, R). The main objective of Trial Part 3 is to investigate the relative bioavailability of two iCF side batches of BI 730357 with coarse milled Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API)(Test coarse milled, Tc) and unmilled API (Test unmilled, Tu), respectively, versus the final iCF batch of BI 730357 with regularly milled API (Reference, R).

Recruitment details

An open-label, single dose, randomized, 2-way and 3-way crossover trial in healthy subjects compared the relative bioavailability of intended commercial formulations (iCF) of BI 730357 to BI 730357 trial formulation 1 (TF1); and compared the bioavailability of different iCF batches (coarse-milled vs. unmilled vs. regularly milled).

Pre-assignment details

Only subjects that met all the study inclusion and non of the exclusion criteria were to be entered in the study. All subjects were free to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time for any reason given. Close monitoring of all subjects was adhered to throughout the trial conduct. Rescue medication was allowed for all patients as required.

Population: Pharmacokinetic parameter analysis set (PKS): The PKS included all subjects in the treated set (TS) who provided at least 1 primary or secondary PK endpoint that was not excluded due to a protocol deviation or due to PK non-evaluability. It was sufficient for each subject to contribute only 1 PK parameter value for 1 period.
