• If female of childbearing potential, subject had a negative pregnancy test
• Subject had a BMI between 20 and 34 kg/m2 (inclusive)
• Subject had no clinically relevant cardiovascular or endocrine findings during EA
• Subject had an endstage renal disease (CLCr < 15 mL/min, determined approximately 2 to 7 days before first dosing) treated with extracorporal hemodialysis for at least 4 months

• Subject had a history or present condition of clinically relevant respiratory or cardiovascular disorders, eg, cardiac insufficiency, coronary heart disease, hypertension, arrhythmia, tachyarrhythmia, or status after myocardial infarction
• Subject had a history or present condition of psychic abnormality, psychiatric or neurologic illness, or autonomic neuropathy that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could have jeopardized or would have compromised the subject's ability to participate in the trial
• Subject had a history or present condition of seizure disorder

• Subject had a history or present condition of Diabetes Mellitus or thyroid dysfunction, especially Hyperthyreosis, or other endocrine disorders
• Subject had a clinically relevant allergy
• Subject had a known or suspected drug hypersensitivity, in particular to the trial medication
• Subject was taking any concomitant medication currently or within 2 weeks prior to the first day of dosing (with the exception of oral contraceptives and Paracetamol [maximum allowed dose: 1000 mg/dose], which were allowed up to 48 hours prior to dosing); further exceptions could be made if the Investigator and the sponsor jointly considered the medication as acceptable
• Subject was tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus 1/2 antibodies (HIV-1/2-Ab), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs-Ag), or hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV-Ab)
• Subject had any clinically relevant abnormality in the physical examination or in vital sign measurements (systolic blood pressure > 150 mmHg or < 100 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure > 95 mmHg or < 60 mmHg, pulse rate > 100 beats per minute (bpm) or < 50 bpm)
• Subject had a clinically relevant deviation from the norm in the clinical chemistry, hematology, or urinalysis evaluations

Exclusion criteria for Groups 2-4:

• Exclusion criteria 1 to 12 for healthy subjects also applied to subjects with renal impairment
