Brief summary
The main objectives of this trial are to investigate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of BI 3731579 in healthy volunteers following administration of multiple rising doses per day over 15 days.
Interventions
Day 2 and Day 17: a single mid dose of BI 3731579, with 240 mL of water. Day 4 to Day 16: a double daily mid dose (bid) of BI 3731579 each day, with 240 mL of water.
Placebo-matching film-coated tablets of BI 3731579 on Day 2 and Day 4 to Day 17, orally, with 240 milliliters (mL) of water.
Day 1 and Day 17: 75 micrograms (μg) of Midazolam for injection, orally, with 240 mL of water, as a single dose.
Day 2 and Day 17: single low dose of BI 3731579 with 240 milliliters (mL) of water. Day 4 to Day 16: a double daily low dose (bid) of BI 3731579 each day, with 240 mL of water.
Day 2 and Day 17: single high dose of BI 3731579, with 240 mL of water. Day 4 to Day 16: a double daily high dose (bid) of BI 3731579 each day, with 240 mL of water.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
1. Healthy volunteers 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), respiratory rate (RR) and temperature), 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory tests 2. Age of 18 to 55 years (inclusive) 3. Body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 to 29.9 kg/m\^2 (inclusive) 4. Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with ICH-GCP and local legislation prior to admission to the trial Further inclusion criteria apply.
Exclusion criteria
1. Any finding in the medical examination (including BP, PR, RR, temperature or ECG) deviating from normal and assessed as clinically relevant by the investigator 2. Repeated measurement of systolic blood pressure outside the range of 90 to 140 millimetre of mercury (mmHg), diastolic blood pressure outside the range of 50 to 90 mmHg, or resting pulse rate outside the range of 45 to 90 beats per minute (bpm) 3. Any laboratory value outside the reference range that the investigator considers to be of clinical relevance 4. Any evidence of a concomitant disease assessed as clinically relevant by the investigator Further

|---|---|---|
| Occurrence of Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Event Assessed as Drug-related by the Investigator | From first drug administration on Day 2 until last drug administration on Day 17, plus residual effect period (REP) for each intervention. Up to 19 days. | The occurrence of any treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) assessed as drug-related by the investigator is reported as number of participants. The primary endpoint was analyzed without the microdose of midazolam on Day 1, as defined in the statistical analysis plan. |

Participant flow
Recruitment details
Multiple-rising dose (MRD) trial designed as single-blind, randomized within dose groups, and placebo-controlled parallel-group design to investigate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of BI 3731579 in healthy participants.
Pre-assignment details
All participants were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. The participants attended a specialist site which ensured that they (the participants) strictly met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. The participants were not to be allocated to a treatment group if any of the entry criteria were violated.
