Study groups in NCT06070610
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Reference treatment/Test treatmentExperimentalIn the reference (R) treatment (period 1, two days of treatment), a single dose of 267 mg pirfenidone was administered on Day 1 and a single dose of 100 mg nintedanib on Day 2. In the test (T) treatment (period 2, ten days of treatment), 18 mg nerandomilast were administered twice daily for 10 days (Day -6 to Day 4). A single dose of 267 mg pirfenidone was administered on Day 1 and a single dose of 100 mg nintedanib was administered on Day 2. A washout period of at least 72 hours separated the last drug administration in the reference period from the first drug administration in the test period.
Receives: Drug: BI 1015550; Drug: Nintedanib; Drug: Pirfenidone

What is being measured

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

  1. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of Pirfenidone in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 to the Last Quantifiable Data Point (AUC0-tz)

    Area under the concentration-time curve of pirfenidone in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable data point (AUC0-tz).

    Geometric least squares mean (adjusted geometric mean) and the standard error (actually adjusted geometric standard error) were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model on the logarithmic scale. The pharmacokinetic (PK) endpoints were log-transformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model.

    Measured: At 0, 0:30, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours from pirfenidone administration (Period 1) and at 0, 0.30, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours from nerandomilast and pirfenidone administration (Period 2)

  2. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of Pirfenidone in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-∞)

    Area under the concentration-time curve of pirfenidone in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞).

    Geometric least squares mean (adjusted geometric mean) and the standard error (actually adjusted geometric standard error) were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model on the logarithmic scale. The pharmacokinetic (PK) endpoints were log-transformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model.

    Measured: At 0, 0:30, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours from pirfenidone administration (Period 1) and at 0, 0.30, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours from nerandomilast and pirfenidone administration (Period 2)

  3. Maximum Measured Concentration of Pirfenidone in Plasma (Cmax)

    Maximum measured concentration of pirfenidone in plasma (Cmax). Geometric least squares mean (adjusted geometric mean) and the standard error (actually adjusted geometric standard error) were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model on the logarithmic scale. The pharmacokinetic (PK) endpoints were log-transformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model.

    Measured: At 0, 0:30, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours from pirfenidone administration (Period 1) and at 0, 0.30, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours from nerandomilast and pirfenidone administration (Period 2)

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 BI 1015550, Nintedanib and Pirfenidone 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 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 2 Dec 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 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 2 Dec 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?

Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of Pirfenidone in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 to the Last Quantifiable Data Point (AUC0-tz) (time frame: At 0, 0:30, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours from pirfenidone administration (Period 1) and at 0, 0.30, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours from nerandomilast and pirfenidone administration (Period 2)). The study lists 6 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 2 Dec 2025.
