Healthy volunteers help scientists track how a new drug leaves the body
NCT ID NCT03654170
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study gave 6 healthy men a single dose of the experimental drug BI 425809 (with a radioactive tracer) to see how it moves through the body. Researchers measured how much of the drug came out in urine and stool, and how fast. The goal was to understand the drug's metabolism and excretion, not to treat any disease.

Inclusion Criteria: * Healthy male subjects according to the investigator's assessment, based on a complete medical history including a physical examination, vital signs (BP, PR), 12-lead ECG, and clinical laboratory tests * Age of 18 to 65 years (incl.) * BMI of 18.5 to 29.9 kg/m2 (incl.) * Signed and dated written informed consent prior to admission to the study in accordance with GCP and local legislation * Subjects who are sexually active must use, with their partner, highly effective contraception from the time of administration of trial medication until 4 months after administration of trial medication. * Subjects are required to use condoms to prevent unintended exposure of the partner to the study drug via seminal fluid. Alternatively, true abstinence is acceptable when it is in line with the subject's preferred and usual lifestyle. If a subject is usually not sexually active but becomes active, with their partner, they must comply with the contraceptive requirements detailed above. Exclusion Criteria: * Any finding in the medical examination (including BP, PR or ECG) is deviating from normal and judged as clinically relevant by the investigator * Repeated measurement of systolic blood pressure outside the range of 90 to 139 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure outside the range of 45 to 89 mmHg, or pulse rate outside the range of 40 to 100 bpm * Any laboratory value outside the reference range that the investigator considers to be of clinical relevance * Any evidence of a concomitant disease judged as clinically relevant by the investigator * Clinically significant gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, respiratory (including but not limited to interstitial lung disease), cardiovascular, metabolic, immunological or hormonal disorders * Cholecystectomy and/or surgery of the gastrointestinal tract that could interfere with the pharmacokinetics of the trial medication (except appendectomy and simple hernia repair) * Diseases of the central nervous system (including but not limited to any kind of seizures or stroke), and other relevant neurological or psychiatric disorders * History of relevant orthostatic hypotension, fainting spells, or blackouts * Chronic or relevant acute infections * History of relevant allergy or hypersensitivity (including allergy to the trial medication or its excipients) * Use of drugs within 30 days prior to administration of trial medication if that might reasonably influence the results of the trial (incl. QT/QTc interval prolongation). Use of CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers 1 week prior to administration of trial medication * Participation in another trial where an investigational drug has been administered within 60 days prior to planned administration of trial medication, or current participation in another trial involving administration of investigational drug * Smoker (more than 5 cigarettes or 1 cigars or 1 pipes per day) * Inability to refrain from smoking on trial days * Average intake of more than 24 units of alcohol per week (1 unit of alcohol equals approximately 250 mL of beer, 100 mL of wine or 35 ml of spirits) * Drug abuse or positive drug screening * Blood donation of more than 100 mL within 30 days prior to administration of trial medication or intended donation during the trial * Intention to perform excessive physical activities within 4 days prior to administration of trial medication or during the trial * Inability to comply with dietary regimen of trial site * A marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval (such as QTc intervals that are repeatedly greater than 450 ms) or any other relevant ECG finding at screening * A history of additional risk factors for Torsades de Pointes (such as heart failure, hypokalemia, or family history of Long QT Syndrome) * Further exclusion criteria apply
