Inclusion criteria

* Male or female patients, 12 years of age or older at screening; * Documented diagnosis of cystic fibrosis including: * positive sweat chloride ≥ 60 mEq/L, by pilocarpine iontophoresis OR * genotype with 2 identifiable mutations consistent with cystic fibrosis accompanied by one or more clinical features with cystic fibrosis phenotype; * Patients able to perform acceptable spirometric manoeuvres according to American Thoracic Society (ATS) standards; * FEV1 ≥ 40% and ≤ 90% of predicted values at screening and predose at Visit 2; * Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must be willing and able to use highly effective methods of birth control per ICH M3 (R2) that result in a failure rate of less than1% per year when used consistently and correctly. A list of contraception methods meeting these criteria is provided in the patient (or patient's legal guardian) information; * Signed and dated written informed consent and assent in accordance with ICH Harmonized Guideline for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and local legislation prior to admission in the trial.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Concentration of BI 1265162 in Plasma at 0.083 Hour at Steady State Following Dose 57 (C0.083,ss,57)At 5 minutes (around 0.083 hours) post dosing at steady state on Day 29 for dose 57 (morning dose on Day 29).Concentration of BI 1265162 in plasma at 0.083 hour at steady state following dose 57 (C0.083,ss,57) was reported.
Change From Baseline in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire Revised (CFQ-R) Total Score After 4 Weeks of TreatmentAt Day 1 (baseline) and Day 29 (end of 4-week treatment period).The adult/adolescent format of the CFQ-R consists of 50 questions (qts) dividing into 12 domains: Physical functioning(8 qts), role limitations(4 qts), vitality(4 qts), emotional functioning(5 qts), social functioning(6 qts), body image(3 qts), eating disturbance(3 qts), treatment burden(3 qts), health perceptions(3 qts), weight(1 qts), respiratory symptoms(7 qts), and digestive system(3 qts). The score of some qts is first reversed if reversed coded, so that the score for each of the 50 qts ranges from 1 to 4 points (less symptoms). Then, a domain score for a domain with N qts is calculated as (sum of the scores of the N qts - N)/(N ✕ 4 - N) ✕ 100. Each domain score ranges from 0 to 100 (better health). The CFQ-R total score is summing up the domain scores and ranges from 0 to 1200 (better quality of life). The change from baseline in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire Revised (CFQ-R) total score after 4 weeks of treatment was reported.
Change From Baseline in Cough and Sputum Assessment Questionnaire (CASA-Q) (4 Separate Sub-scores) After 4 Weeks of TreatmentAt Day 1 (baseline) and Day 29 (end of 4-week treatment period).The 20-item Sputum Assessment Questionnaire (CASA-Q) consisted of 4 domains: Cough Symptoms Domain (3 items), Cough Impact Domain (8 items), Sputum Symptoms Domain (3 items), and Sputum Impact Domain (6 items). Score of each item has been reversed such that better responses have higher score, which ranges from 1 (worse) to 5 (better health). For each domain, the domain score was calculated by summing up the scores of the respective items and scaling to a value ranging from 0 to 100, with higher score associated with fewer symptoms/less impact due to cough or sputum. The 4 domain scores (sub-scores) were reported.
Percentage of Patients With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AE) up to Day 36From Day 1 (baseline) until end of 4 weeks of treatment period (Day 29) plus 7 days of follow-up, up to 36 days.Percentage of patients with any treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AE) up to day 36 was reported.
Change From Baseline in Lung Clearance Index (LCI) Assessed by N2 Multiple Breath Washout (N2MBW) Procedure After 4 Weeks of TreatmentAt pre-dose in Day 1 (baseline) and Day 29 (end of 4-week treatment period).Change from baseline in Lung Clearance Index (LCI) assessed by N2 Multiple Breath Washout (N2MBW) procedure after 4 weeks of treatment was reported. LCI was calculated as the ratio of cumulative expired volume (CEV) to functional residual capacity (FRC), which was LCI = CEV (milliliter/kilogram) / FRC (milliliter/kilogram) and hence, LCI was Unitless. The change from baseline after 4 weeks of treatment in LCI was then calculated as the LCI value measured after 4 weeks of treatment at Day 29 minus the LCI value measured at baseline on Day 1.
Pre-dose Concentration Measured of BI 1265162 in Plasma at Steady State After Dose 15 (Cpre,ss, 15)At pre-dose (taken within 60 minutes prior to dosing) at steady state on Day 8 for dose 15 (morning dose on Day 8).Pre-dose concentration measured of BI 1265162 in plasma at steady state after dose 15 (Cpre,ss, 15) was reported.

Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted Trough Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) After 4 Weeks of Treatment

Trough FEV1 was measured within 30 minutes prior to dosing of study medication.

Time frame: At 30 minutes prior to dosing in Day 1 (baseline) and Day 29 (end of 4-week treatment period).

Population: Treated set (TS): The TS included all patients who were randomized and treated with at least one dose of study drug. The treatment assignment was determined based on the first treatment the subjects received. Only participants with non-missing outcome measured were included in the analysis.

Comparison: Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM) with fixed effects for baseline, visit, treatment, treatment-by-visit interaction, baseline-by-visit interaction, and random effect for patient was applied. No hypothesis testing was performed, as this trial was prematurely discontinued. MMRM only included data from 200µg BI and placebo, as the sample size of the BI 20µg, BI 50µg and BI 100µg dose levels was limited because of the premature discontinuation of the trial.p-value: 0.546895% CI: [-3.5, 6.5]Mixed model with repeated measurements

Change From Baseline in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire Revised (CFQ-R) Total Score After 4 Weeks of Treatment

The adult/adolescent format of the CFQ-R consists of 50 questions (qts) dividing into 12 domains: Physical functioning(8 qts), role limitations(4 qts), vitality(4 qts), emotional functioning(5 qts), social functioning(6 qts), body image(3 qts), eating disturbance(3 qts), treatment burden(3 qts), health perceptions(3 qts), weight(1 qts), respiratory symptoms(7 qts), and digestive system(3 qts). The score of some qts is first reversed if reversed coded, so that the score for each of the 50 qts ranges from 1 to 4 points (less symptoms). Then, a domain score for a domain with N qts is calculated as (sum of the scores of the N qts - N)/(N ✕ 4 - N) ✕ 100. Each domain score ranges from 0 to 100 (better health). The CFQ-R total score is summing up the domain scores and ranges from 0 to 1200 (better quality of life). The change from baseline in Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire Revised (CFQ-R) total score after 4 weeks of treatment was reported.

LCI was calculated as the ratio of cumulative expired volume (CEV) to functional residual capacity (FRC), which was LCI = CEV (milliliter/kilogram) / FRC (milliliter/kilogram) and hence, LCI was Unitless. The change from baseline after 4 weeks of treatment in LCI was then calculated as the LCI value measured after 4 weeks of treatment at Day 29 minus the LCI value measured at baseline on Day 1.

Time frame: At pre-dose in Day 1 (baseline) and Day 29 (end of 4-week treatment period).

Population: Treated set (TS): The TS included all patients who were randomized and treated with at least one dose of study drug. The treatment assignment was determined based on the first treatment the subjects received. Only participants with non-missing outcome measured were included in the analysis.

Comparison: ANCOVA based on analysis of covariance with fixed effects for baseline and treatment was applied. Statistical analysis was performed for 200μg BI and placebo groups only. No hypothesis testing was performed, as this trial was prematurely discontinued. ANCOVA only included data from 200µg BI and placebo, as the sample size of the BI 20µg, BI 50µg and BI 100µg dose levels was limited because of the premature discontinuation of the trial.p-value: 0.303995% CI: [-2.4, 6.5]ANCOVA
