Summary
This early-stage study tests whether a new medicine called BI 3031185 is safe and well-tolerated in adults with borderline personality disorder (BPD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

With full implementation of version 5.0 of this clinical trial protocol (CTP), only participants with a primary diagnosis of ADHD as assessed by the MINI will be included in the trial. * Willingness to abstain from alcohol for 24 h, and all other drugs of abuse including cannabis for 72 h prior to Visits 2 and 3 (Day -1). Willingness to abstain from alcohol and cannabis for 72 h after investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration, as well as from all other recreational drugs for the duration of the trial * Willingness to abstain from prescribed psychostimulants for 72 h prior to Visits 2 and 3 (Day -1) and 24 h following IMP administration Further inclusion criteria apply.

Participants with positive cannabis drug tests can be included if they do not meet criteria for moderate or severe cannabis use disorder and the investigator determines that use will not be an impediment to trial participation or accurate data collection * Concomitant use of psychotropic medication except for the ones below.

A single second-generation antipsychotic at a low dose that has been stable in dose and frequency for \>3 months prior to randomisation (low dose = 1 thorazine dose equivalent or less, which translates to ≤2 mg/day for risperidone, 5 mg/day for olanzapine, 75 mg/day for quetiapine, 60 mg/day for ziprasidone, and 7.5 mg/day for aripiprazole) 3.
