Summary
This early-phase trial tested the safety and how the body handles a single dose of the experimental drug BI 425809 (iclepertin) in 83 healthy men. Researchers compared different forms (drinking solution vs. tablet) and looked at whether food changes drug absorption. The goal was to gather basic safety and dosing information, not to treat any disease.
