About this study

Official title: Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of BI 44370 TA Oral Drinking Solution in Healthy Male Volunteers (Dose Range: 5 - 800 mg). A Double-blind (Within Dose Groups), Randomised, Placebo-controlled Within Dose Groups, Single Rising Dose Study, Including Re-dosing at 100 mg and 500 mg (Solution) and at 200 mg (Four 50 mg Tablets)

To evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single rising oral doses of BI 44370 TA in healthy male volunteers, to compare a drinking solution vs. a tablet formulation and to assess intra-individual pharmacokinetic (PK) variability by re-dosing two further doses.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BI 44370 TA solution and BI 44370 TA tablet in people with Healthy, run by Boehringer Ingelheim.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with adverse events (time frame: up to 10 days after last drug administration). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Aug 2014.
