Study to Investigate Safety and Tolerability of BI 1744 CL in Free Dose Combination With Tiotropium Bromide Both Administered by Respimat® in Healthy Male Volunteers

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 1969-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Male

Summary

Study to investigate safety and tolerability of single, inhaled doses (2.5 μg, 5 μg, 10 μg, 20 μg and 40 μg) of BI 1744 CL in free dose combination with tiotropium bromide 5 μg (for doses up to and including 20 μg BI 1744 CL) and 10 μg (for doses of 20 μg and 40 μg BI 1744 CL), both administered by Respimat® in healthy male volunteers. Also, to investigate the pharmacokinetics of BI 1744 BS and tiotropium bromide in such combinations, to explore their dose proportionality, and to explore the pharmacodynamic effects of the treatments on selected metabolic and respiratory parameters

7. History of relevant allergy/hypersensitivity (including allergy to the drug or its excipients) as judged clinically relevant by the investigator

8. Intake of drugs with a long half-life (>24 hours) within at least 1 month or less than 10 half-lives of the respective drug prior to randomization

9. Use of drugs which might reasonably influence the results of the trial based on the knowledge at the time of protocol preparation within 10 days prior to enrolment in the study or during the study

10. Participation in another trial with an investigational drug within 2 months prior to randomization
