Safety, Tolerance, and Pharmacokinetics of Single Oral Doses of 5 mg, 20 mg, 60 mg, 120 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, 600 mg, 1000 mg, 1500 mg, 2000 mg, 2400 mg, and 3000 mg BILB 1941 ZW (PEG 400/TRIS Solution) in Healthy Male Subjects, in a Randomised Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Rising Dose Study, Followed With an Open-label Intra-subject Three-Way Crossover Bioavailability Comparison of 600 mg BILB 1941 ZW in a PEG 400/TRIS Solution and 600 mg BILB 1941 ZW Tablet and 600 mg BILB 1941 ZW Tablet Administered With Food

The objective of the current study was to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of BILB 1941 ZW following the administration of single rising doses from 5 mg to 300 mg. In addition the bioavailability of the 60 mg dose given fasted and after a high-fat breakfast was to be be investigated
