Participant flow

Recruitment details

Open-label, two period fixed sequence design trial to investigate the induction effect of multiple oral doses of 18 milligram (mg) of BI 1015550 twice daily (bid) on the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of midazolam.

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 treatment if any of the entry criteria were violated.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Midazolam (R) / BI 1015550 + Midazolam (T)
A single dose of 1 milliliter (mL) of midazolam solution (2mg/mL) was administered orally on Day 1 as reference treatment (R ) in period 1. In period 2, one film-coated tablet of 18 mg BI 1015550 was administered orally twice daily (bid) for 13 days (Day -13 to Day -1), and once daily (qd) on Day 1 together with a single dose of 1 mL oral solution of midazolam (2mg/mL) as test treatment (T). There was a washout period of at least 24 hours between the reference treatment (R) and the first BI 1015550 administration in the test treatment (T).

Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of Midazolam in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 to the Last Quantifiable Data Point (AUC0-tz)

Area under the concentration-time curve of midazolam in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable data point (AUC0-tz). Detailed timeframe: For midazolam (R): Within 3 hours prior to midazolam administration and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours after midazolam administration in period 1. For BI + midazolam (T): 313 hours prior to administration of BI 1015550 + midazolam, at BI 1015550 + midazolam administration (0 hour) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 24 hours after administration of BI 1015550 + midazolam in period 2.

Time frame: Midazolam (R): Within 3 hours prior to midazolam administration and up to 24 hours after midazolam administration, in period 1. BI 101550 + midazolam (T): 313 hours prior and up to 24 hours after BI 1015550 + midazolam administration, in period 2.

Population: Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter analysis set (PKS): this set included all subjects in the treated set 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 one PK parameter value for one period to the statistical assessment.

Comparison: The statistical model used was an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model on the logarithmic scale. That is, the PK endpoint was logtransformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model. This model includes effects accounting for the sources of variation: treatment. The effect 'subjects' is considered as random, whereas the treatment effect is considered as fixed.
