About this study

Official title: Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Single Rising Oral Doses and Multiple Rising Oral Doses of BI 894416 Versus Placebo in Male Patients With Asthma (Single-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group Design).

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.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BI 894416 in people with Asthma, 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 9 inclusion and 25 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 21 Aug 2023. 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Aug 2023). 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?

Percentage of Patients With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events Related to BI 894416 (time frame: From start of treatment till the end of trial, up to 30 days.). 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 21 Aug 2023.
