- Brief Summary
The aim of this clinical study in healthy participants is to investigate the safety and tolerability of GRT0151Y after multiple oral intake of different increasing doses and to evaluate the pharmacological effects (action of the compound) by means of pupillometry (measuring the pupil size of the eye) and Cold Presser Test (measuring the pain when immersing the hand in 2 degree Celsius cold water). An additional aim of the study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics of GRT0151Y (how it is taken up into the body and how it is excreted from the body)."

Inclusion Criteria
- Male or female Caucasian.
- Age 40-65 years.
- Body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 30 kilograms/square meter (extremes included).
- Extensive Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) metabolizer.

Minor deviations of laboratory values and ECG parameters from the normal range may be accepted, if judged by the investigator as clinically not relevant and if not considered to interfere with the study objectives.

For females of childbearing potential (i.e. all females except surgically sterilized or at least 2 years postmenopausal) this is defined as follows: any form of hormonal contraception or intra-uterine device must be used, at least for 4 weeks prior to the first dosing AND she must give a consent to use an additional barrier contraception (condom or diaphragm) from 2 weeks prior to first dosing up to 4 weeks after the last dosing.
- Written consent to participate in the study.
- Negative Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)1/2-antibodies, Hepatitis B surface (HBs)-antigen, Hepatitis B core (HBc)-antibodies, Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-antibodies determined at screening examination.
- Negative drug abuse screening test determined at screening examination (the test will include screening for metamphetamine, opiate, cannabis, cocaine, amphetamine and benzodiazepine).
- Negative beta-human chorion gonadotropin test for females of childbearing potential determined at screening examination (the test is not necessary in females who are in post-menopausal state for at least 2 years or in females with status after surgical sterilisation).
- The participant must be able to tolerate the cold pressor test, i.e. he/she must be able to keep his/her hand for 120 seconds in cold water of about 2 degrees celsius.

- History of orthostatic hypotension.
- Bronchial asthma.
- Definite or suspected history of drug allergy or hypersensitivity.
- History of Raynaud´s disease or phenomenon.

- Intake of drugs that are inhibitors of CYP2D6 isoenzyme within the last 4 weeks prior to the start of this study. Use of any other medication within two weeks prior to the start of the study (self-medication or prescription), if not on a stable basis and known to interfere with study objectives.
- Known or suspected of not being able to comply with the study protocol or of not being able to communicate meaningfully with the investigator and staff.
