Evaluation of Safety and Tolerability of BI 894416 in Patients With Mild Asthma

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Asthma
Interventions
Drug: BI 894416
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT03971539
Lead Sponsor
Boehringer Ingelheim
Brief Summary

In both parts, the primary comparisons of interest are between the percentage of patients with drug-related adverse events at each dose and placebo during single and multiple dosing regimens. Based on these, the primary trial objective is to assess safety and tolerability of BI 894416 at each dose.

Secondary measures of interest are the geometric means of BI 894416 plasma AUC0-∞ and Cmax after single dose in SRD part and AUC0-8 and Cmax after single dose as well as AUCτ,ss and Cmax,ss after 7 days multiple dosing in MRD part. The objective is to assess the pharmacokinetics of BI 894416 following single and multiple administration.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with ICH-GCP and local legislation prior to admission to the trial. Medication washout and medication restrictions according to protocol are allowed only after informed consent is obtained.

In case of planned participation in the MRD part in this trial the previous participation in one dose group of the SRD part is allowed if BI 894416 has been administered more than 21 days prior to planned administration of BI 894416 in the MRD part.

  • A history of additional risk factors for Torsades de Pointes (such as heart failure, hypokalemia, or family history of Long QT Syndrome)
  • Patient unable or unwilling to comply with study requirements, or has a condition that would not allow safe participation in the study
  • History of relevant neurological disorder affecting the peripheral or central nervous system (this includes, but is not limited to: stroke, epilepsy, inflammatory or atrophic diseases affecting the nervous system, cluster headache or any cancer of the nervous system)
  • History of immunological disease except allergy not relevant to the trial (such as mild hayfever or dust mite allergy) and except asthma in childhood or adolescence

  • Further exclusion criteria apply.
