First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase study tested the drug Iclepertin (BI 425809) in 25 healthy men to see how much of it reaches the brain and how it affects certain brain chemicals. Participants took multiple doses of the tablet, and researchers measured drug levels in blood and spinal fluid. The main goals were to understand the drug's safety and how it behaves in the body, not to treat any disease.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

BI 425809 (Iclepertin) tablet

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help determine the right dose for future studies of Iclepertin in conditions like Alzheimer's or schizophrenia.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 study in only 25 healthy men, so it cannot prove the drug works for any disease. Side effects are possible but not yet well understood.
