About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-label Trial in Two Parallel Parts to Investigate Mass Balance, Metabolism, and Basic Pharmacokinetics of BI 1810631 (C-14) Administered as Oral Solution (Part A) and to Investigate Absolute Bioavailability of BI 1810631 Administered as Film-coated Tablet Together With an Intravenous Microtracer Dose of BI 1810631 (C-14) (Part B) in Healthy Male Volunteers

Part A - the primary objective is to assess the mass balance and total recovery of [14C]-radioactivity in urine and faeces after oral single dose administration of BI 1810631 (C-14) (test treatment T1) in healthy male subjects.

Part A - the secondary objective is to assess concentrations of BI 1810631 and [14C]-radioactivity in plasma.

Part B - the primary objective is to investigate the absolute bioavailability of BI 1810631 administered as film-coated tablet (test treatment T2, not radio-labelled) compared with BI 1810631 (C-14) (reference treatment R) administered as intravenous microtracer.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Part A - zongertinib (C-14) (T1)ExperimentalHealthy male subjects were administered a single oral dose of radioactively-labelled zongertinib (C-14) as a solution (test treatment 1 [T1]) with 240 milliliter (mL) of water, after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours (h). The solution contained a mixture of pure [14C]-labelled zongertinib ("hot") drug substance, and zongertinib, i.e. unlabeled ("cold") drug substance, and it contained a radioactive dose of approximately 3.7 Megabecquerel (MBq).
Receives: Drug: zongertinib (C-14)
Part B - zongertinib (T2), then zongertinib (C-14) (R)ExperimentalHealthy male subjects were administered one zongertinib film-coated tablet (test treatment 2 [T2]) orally with 240 mL of water after an overnight fast of at least 10 h. Two hours later, subjects were administered a single solution of radioactively-labelled zongertinib (C-14) (reference treatment [R]) via intravenous infusion. The solution contained a mixture of pure [14C]-labelled zongertinib ("hot") drug substance and zongertinib, i.e. unlabelled ("cold") drug substance, and contained a radioactive dose of approximately 0.03 MBq.
Receives: Drug: zongertinib; Drug: zongertinib (C-14)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Part A - Fraction Excreted in Urine and Faeces as Percentage of the Administered Dose Over the Time Interval From 0 to the Last Quantifiable Time Point (fe0-tz)

    Mass balance and total recovery of [14C]-radioactivity: fraction excreted in urine and faeces given as percentage of the administered oral dose of zongertinib (assessed by [14C]zongertinib-equivalent[EQ]) over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable time point (feurine, 0-tz; fefaeces, 0-tz) is reported.

    Timeframe (continued): after 336 h, if warranted, 24 h collections were to be performed every 7 days on days 21, 28, 35, and 42. Sampling was stopped when the release criteria for radioactivity recovery were met (earliest stopping on Day 15).

    Measured: Within 18 h (urine) or 48 h (faeces) before drug intake; at 0-4, 4-8, 8-12, 12-24 (urine); and at 24 h sampling intervals until 336 h after drug intake (both). Both: after 336 h, every 7 days, up to day 42. Continues in description.

  2. Part B - Dose-normalised Area Under the Concentration-time Curve in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-∞,Norm)

    The dose-normalised area under the concentration-time curve in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞,norm) after oral administration of zongertinib, and after intravenous administration of [14C]zongertinib, is reported.

    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. The PK endpoints were log-transformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model, which included the effect 'subjects' as a random effect and 'treatment' as a fixed effect. These quantities were then back-transformed to the original scale.

    Measured: Within 3 h prior and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, [zongertinib], 2, 2.08, 2.16, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.5 [[14C]zongertinib], 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 168 h [zongertinib and [14C]zongertinib] after first drug administration.

Individual data sharing
No: Clinical studies sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, phases I to IV, interventional and non-interventional, are in scope for sharing of the raw clinical study data and clinical study documents. Exceptions might apply, e.g. studies in products where Boehringer Ingelheim is not the license holder; studies regarding pharmaceutical formulations and associated analytical methods, and studies pertinent to pharmacokinetics using human biomaterials; studies conducted in a single center or targeting rare diseases (in case of low number of patients and therefore limitations with anonymization).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing zongertinib (C-14) and zongertinib in people with Healthy, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 8 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 6 Oct 2025. 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 Netherlands. 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 22 Sep 2025). 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?

Part A - Fraction Excreted in Urine and Faeces as Percentage of the Administered Dose Over the Time Interval From 0 to the Last Quantifiable Time Point (fe0-tz) (time frame: Within 18 h (urine) or 48 h (faeces) before drug intake; at 0-4, 4-8, 8-12, 12-24 (urine); and at 24 h sampling intervals until 336 h after drug intake (both). Both: after 336 h, every 7 days, up to day 42. Continues in description.). 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 NCT05879991, 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 6 Oct 2025.
