What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From 0 to 168 Hours Time Point of BI 425809 (AUC0-168).
This endpoint calculates area under the concentration-time curve of BI 425809 in plasma over the time interval from 0 to 168 hour time point. Geometric least square mean (adjusted geometric mean) and adjusted geometric standard error were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model on the logarithmic scale including subject as random effect and treatment as fixed effect.
Measured: Pharmacokinetic samples were collected at 2:00 hour Pre-dose and at 0:30, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, 3:30, 4:00, 4:30, 5:00, 6:00, 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 24:00, 34:00, 48:00, 72:00, 96:00 and 168:00 hours post dose.
Maximum Concentration of BI 425809 in Plasma (Cmax).
This outcome is maximum measured concentration of the BI 425809 in plasma.
Measured: Pharmacokinetic samples were collected at 2:00 hour Pre-dose and at 0:30, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, 3:30, 4:00, 4:30, 5:00, 6:00, 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 24:00, 34:00, 48:00, 72:00, 96:00 and 168:00 hours post dose.
Secondary outcomes (2)
Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of BI 425809 in Plasma With and Without Co-administration of Rifampicin Over the Time Interval From 0 Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-∞).
This endpoint calculates area under the concentration-time curve of BI 425809 in plasma with and without adminstration of Rifampicin over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity.
Measured: Pharmacokinetic samples were collected at 2:00 hour Pre-dose and at 0:30, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, 3:30, 4:00, 4:30, 5:00, 6:00, 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 24:00, 34:00, 48:00, 72:00, 96:00 and 168:00 hours post dose.
Terminal Half-life of the Metabolite BI 761036 in Plasma (t1/2)
Half life is the period of time required for the concentration or amount of drug in the body to be reduced to exactly one-half of a given concentration or amount.
Measured: Pharmacokinetic samples were collected at 2:00 hour Pre-dose and at 3:00, 6:00, 12:00, 24:00, 34:00, 48:00, 72:00, 96:00, 168:00, 216:00, 264:00, 336:00, 408:00, 504:00, 576:00, 672:00, 744:00, 840:00 and 1008:00 hours post dose.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Rifampicin and BI 425809 in people with Healthy, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 1 site in Germany.
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 4 inclusion and 23 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 30 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Mar 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From 0 to 168 Hours Time Point of BI 425809 (AUC0-168). (time frame: Pharmacokinetic samples were collected at 2:00 hour Pre-dose and at 0:30, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, 3:30, 4:00, 4:30, 5:00, 6:00, 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 24:00, 34:00, 48:00, 72:00, 96:00 and 168:00 hours post dose.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03082183, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 30 Mar 2026.
