Will a common seizure drug alter the fate of an experimental medicine?
NCT ID NCT07781631
First seen Aug 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 1 trial is testing whether carbamazepine, a drug that speeds up liver enzymes, changes how the body absorbs and clears verducatib, an experimental medicine. Healthy male volunteers aged 18 to 50 will take verducatib alone, then with carbamazepine, to compare drug levels in the blood. The goal is to understand potential interactions that could affect dosing in future studies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- verducatib (also called BI 1291583) and carbamazepine
- What this could lead to
- If carbamazepine changes how verducatib is processed, it could help guide safe dosing of verducatib in future patients who also take carbamazepine.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study in healthy volunteers, not patients, so results may not reflect real-world use. Carbamazepine can cause side effects like dizziness or liver issues.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Healthy male trial participant according to the assessment of the Investigator, as based on a complete medical history including physical examination, vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate), 12-lead electrocardiogram, clinical laboratory tests and columbia-suicide severity rating scale (C-SSRS) 2. Age of 18 to 50 years, inclusive 3. Body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 to 29.9 kg/m2, inclusive 4. Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with international council for harmonisation-good clinical practice (ICH-GCP) and local legislation prior to admission to the trial Exclusion Criteria: 1. Any finding in the medical examination, including blood pressure, pulse rate or electrocardiogram, as well as neurological examination and skin inspection deviating from normal and assessed as clinically relevant by the Investigator 2. Repeated measurement of systolic blood pressure outside the range of 90 to 140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure outside the range of 50 to 90 mmHg, or pulse rate outside the range of 50 to 90 beats per minute 3. Any laboratory value outside the reference range that the Investigator considers to be of clinical relevance, particularly including but not limited to haematological parameters such as haemoglobin, serum iron, leucocyte- and platelet count, hepatic parameters such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransfrrase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and total bilirubin or renal parameters such as e.g. creatinine at screening, electrolyte disturbances, particularly hyponatremia 4. Any evidence of a concomitant disease assessed as clinically relevant by the Investigator 5. Further exclusion criteria apply
