Safety and Relative Bioavailability of BIBF 1120 Soft Gelatine Capsules Charge 1, BIBF 1120 Soft Gelatine Capsules Charge 2 and BIBF 1120 Drinking Solution in Healthy Male Volunteers

Safety and Relative Bioavailability of a Single Dose of 150 mg BIBF 1120 Administered as Soft Gelatine Capsules Charge 1 Compared to BIBF 1120 Soft Gelatine Capsules Charge 2 Compared to BIBF 1120 Administered as Drinking Solution Following Oral Administration to Healthy Male Volunteers in an Open, Randomised, Intra-individual, Crossover Comparison Design

To assess pharmacokinetics and the relative bioavailability of a single dose of BIBF 1120 soft gelatine capsule charge 1 vs. BIBF 1120 soft gelatine capsule charge 2 vs BIBF 1120 drinking solution in healthy male subjects respectively. To establish an in-vitro-in-vivo correlation (IVIVC) for oral soft gelatine capsules with 150 mg BIBF 1120 in healthy male volunteers (if feasible)
