Multiple Rising Dose of BI 1181181 Given Orally in Young Healthy Male and Elderly Healthy Male/Female Volunteers

Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Multiple Rising Doses of BI 1181181 Given Orally q.d. for 10 Days in Young Healthy Male and Elderly Healthy Male/Female Volunteers (Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled Within Dose Groups Phase I Study)

The primary objective of the current study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of BI 1181181 in healthy young male and elderly male and female volunteers following oral administration of repeated rising doses of BI 1181181, given once daily over 10 days. Secondary objectives are the exploration of the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of BI 1181181.
