Radioactive tracers reveal Drug's journey in human body
NCT ID NCT07693218
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This trial investigates how a new drug called BI 1815368 is absorbed, distributed, broken down, and eliminated from the body. Ten healthy men receive a single oral dose of the drug mixed with a radioactive tracer, plus a tiny intravenous dose of a different tracer. By measuring radioactivity in blood, urine, and stool, researchers can track the drug's path and determine its absolute bioavailability — how much of the oral dose reaches the bloodstream.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BI 1815368
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this trial will provide crucial data on how BI 1815368 behaves in the body, guiding future dosing and development for potential treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase study in only 10 healthy men, so results may not predict effects in patients. The use of radioactive tracers carries minimal radiation risk.

Any evidence of a concomitant disease considered clinically relevant by the investigator Further exclusion criteria apply.
