Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Single Rising Oral Doses of BI 10773 in Healthy Male Subjects

Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Single Rising Oral Doses (0.5 mg to 800 mg) of BI 10773 as Tablets Administered to Healthy Male Subjects. A Randomised Placebo-controlled (Within-dose Groups) and Double-blind Trial.

Study to investigate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single rising oral doses of BI 10773 to healthy male subjects.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Healthy males according to the following criteria:

   Based upon a complete medical history, including the physical examination, vital signs ((blood pressure (BP), pulse rate (PR)), 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), clinical laboratory tests

2. Age ≥ 18 and Age ≤ 50 years

3. BMI ≥ 18.5 and BMI ≤ 29.9 kg/m2 (Body Mass Index)

4. Signed and dated written informed consent prior to admission to the study in accordance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and the local legislation

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Any finding of the medical examination including ((blood pressure (BP), pulse rate (PR), 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG)) deviating from normal and of clinical relevance

2. Any evidence of a clinically relevant concomitant disease

3. Gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, immunological or hormonal disorders

4. Surgery of the gastrointestinal tract (except appendectomy)

5. Diseases of the central nervous system (such as epilepsy) or psychiatric disorders or neurological disorders

10. Use of drugs which might reasonably influence the results of the trial or that prolong the QT/QTc interval based on the knowledge at the time of protocol preparation within 10 days prior to administration or during the trial

11. Participation in another trial with an investigational drug within two months prior to administration or during the trial

12. Smoker (> 10 cigarettes or > 3 cigars or > 3 pipes/day)

13. Inability to refrain from smoking on trial days

16. Blood donation (more than 100 mL within four weeks prior to administration or during the trial)

17. Excessive physical activities (within one week prior to administration or during the trial)

18. Any laboratory value outside the reference range that is of clinical relevance

19. Inability to comply with the dietary regimen of trial site

20. A marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval (e.g. repeated demonstration of a QTc interval >450 ms);

21. A history of additional risk factors for torsade de pointes (e.g. heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of Long QT Syndrome);

    Exclusion criteria specific for this study:

22. Elevated urinary glucose levels at screening (> 15 mg/dl; > 0.83 mmol/L)
