Brief summary

This trial is intended to examine the absolute oral bioavailability of BI 1015550 as tablet formulation for oral administration, using an intravenous microtracer approach with \[14C\]-labelled BI 1015550. These data are considered necessary to further support the understanding of the pharmacokinetics of BI 1015550.

Inclusion criteria

* Healthy male subjects according to the assessment of the investigator, as based on a complete medical history including a physical examination, vital signs (blood pressure (BP), pulse rate (PR)), 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory tests * Age of 18 to 65 years (inclusive) * Body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 to 29.9 kg/m2 (inclusive) * Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with International Council for Harmonisation-Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP) and local legislation prior to admission to the trial

Participant flow

Recruitment details

A non-randomised, open-label, single period, single arm trial to determine the absolute oral bioavailability of BI 1015550 in healthy male subjects.

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.

18 mg BI 1015550 / 100 μg BI 1015550 (C-14)
One film-coated tablet of 18 milligram (mg) BI 1015550 was administered as single oral dose with 240 milliliter of water after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours on Day 1 as test treatment (T). 100 microgram (μg) BI 1015550 (C-14) solution (consisting of 90 μg unlabelled BI 1015550 mixed with 10 μg labelled \[14C\]-BI 1015550 in 10 mL intravenous solution with a final concentration of 10 μg BI 1015550 (C-14)/mL) was administered as single intravenous infusion over 15 minutes on Day 1 as reference treatment (R). The radioactive dose per infusion was \ 40 kilobecquerel (kBq).

Outcome results

Primary

Dose Normalized Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of BI 1015550 in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-inf)

Dose normalized AUC0-inf of \[14C\]-BI 1015550 after intravenous (i.v.) administration and AUC0-inf of BI 1015550 after oral (p.o.) administration are reported. The analysis was performed only on the pharmacologically active R-enantiomer.

Time frame: Between waking up and still prior to drug intake and 0.5*, 0.75*, 1*, 1.5*, 1.58±, 1.67±, 1.75, 2, 2.5±, 3, 4, 5±, 6, 7±, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, 120, 168, 216± hours after intake of oral BI 1015550 tablet, *for T treatment, ±only for R treatment.

Population: Pharmacokinetic (PK) set (PKS): All subjects in the treated set (TS) who provided at least one PK endpoint that was not excluded due to a protocol deviation relevant to the evaluation of PK or due to non-evaluability.

Comparison: Analysis of variance (ANOVA) model on the logarithmic scale. That is, the PK endpoints were logtransformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model and then then back-transformed to the original scale to provide the point estimate and 90% confidence interval. The model included effects accounting for the following sources of variation: 'subjects' and 'formulation'. The effect 'subjects' was considered as random, whereas the 'formulation' effect was considered as fixed.90% CI: [67.32, 79.48]
