Recruitment details

This was a phase I trial which investigated the pharmacokinetics and absolute bioavailability of BI 1358894 administered orally as tablet co-administered with an intravenous microtracer dose of labelled \[C-14\]-BI 1358894 in healthy male volunteers via a non-randomised, open-label, fixed-sequence trial (part 1) followed by a randomised, openlabel, single-dose, two-period, two-sequence cross-over relative bioavailability trial in BI 1358894 oral suspension (part 2).

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.

Part 1: Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of BI 1358894 Over the Time Interval From 0 to Infinity After i.v. Administration and After Oral Administration (AUC0-infinity)

Area under the concentration-time curve of BI 1358894 over the time interval from 0 to infinity after i.v. administration and after oral administration (AUC0-infinity) is reported. The values were calculated using the Analysis of variance (ANOVA) model which included effects accounting for the following sources of variation: 'subjects' and 'formulation'. The effect 'subjects' was considered as random, whereas 'formulation' was considered as fixed. Standard error is actually geometric standard error. Time Frame: For BI 1358894 (C-14) 100 ug i.v samples were collected at 5h, 5.083, 5.16, 5.25, 5.5, 5.75, 6, 6.5, 7,8, 10, 12, 24, 34, 48, 72, 96, 144, 192, 240, 312 h after oral dose of BI 1358894 on Day 1 of Period 1.

Population: Pharmacokinetic parameter analysis set (PKS): This set included all subjects in the TS who provided at least 1 PK endpoint that was defined as primary or secondary and was not excluded due to a protocol deviation relevant to the evaluation of PK or due to PK non-evaluability. Thus, a subject was included in the PKS even if he contributed only 1 PK parameter value for 1 period to the statistical assessment. Descriptive and model-based analyses of PK parameters were based on the PKS.
