1.
Screening with subject information, informed consent as the first measure, includes physical examination, check of 
vital signs, ECG, safety laboratory (under fasting conditions), drug screening, demographics (including 
determination of body height and weight, smoking and alcohol history), relevant medical history, concomitant 
therapy and review of inclusion/exclusion criteria. 
2.
The time is approximate: blood sampling is to be performed and completed within 30 minutes prior to drug 
administration; all other procedures are to be performed and completed within 2 h prior to drug administration. 
Within 2 hours prior to the planned dosing, planned time -2:00 will be used.
3.
Laboratory tests (safety laboratory) include clinical chemistry, haematology, coagulation and urinalysis; in 
addition at screening: serology (HBV, HCV, HIV, QuantiFERON), and drug screening.
4.
PK sampling times may be adapted based on information obtained during trial conduct.
5.
Local tolerability test inclusive.
6.
If several actions are indicated at the same time point, the intake of meals will be the last action.
7.
Confirmation of fitness includes physical examination.
 
9. 
AEs and concomitant therapies will be recorded throughout the trial, but will be specifically asked for at the time 
points indicated in the Flow Chart above.
 
 
11.
Safety laboratory is to be taken within three days prior to study drug administration and can be omitted, if the 
screening examination is performed between Day -5 to Day -3.
12.
First measure after completion of infusion collection of PK sample

DESCRIPTION OF DESIGN AND TRIAL POPULATION
3.1
OVERALL TRIAL DESIGN AND PLAN
The single rising intravenous dose part of the trial is designed as double-blind, randomised, 
and placebo-controlled within parallel dose groups. The single subcutaneous dose part of the 
trial is designed as double blind, randomised, and placebo-controlled.
A total of 32 healthy male subjects is planned to participate in the trial, according to 4 dose
groups comprising 8 subjects per group. Within each dose group 6 subjects will receive the 
active drug and 2 subjects will receive placebo. 
Only single dose is tested within each dose group. The dose groups to be evaluated are 
outlined in Table 3.1: 1 below.

The dose groups will be investigated consecutively in ascending order of doses, maintaining a 
time interval of at least 14 days between the first drug administration in the previous dose 
group and the first drug administration of the subsequent dose group in single rising dose part. 
(Dose groups 1-3) The decision to proceed to the next dose group will be based upon the 
safety and tolerability data of the preceding dose groups. The next dose will only be given if, 
in the opinion of the investigator, no safety concerns arose in the preceding dose group (i.e. 
no dose-limiting events occurred) and if none of the pre-specified trial-specific stopping 
criteria were met (refer to Section 3.3.4.2).
The investigator is allowed to interrupt the further dose escalation in case the safety 
evaluation leads to concerns until alignment with sponsor.
An overview of all relevant trial activities is provided in the Flow Chart. For visit schedules 
and details of trial procedures at selected visits, refer to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, respectively.
3.1.1

Data management and statistical evaluation will be done by BI according to BI SOPs.
Tasks and functions assigned in order to organise, manage, and evaluate the trial are defined 
according to BI SOPs. A list of responsible persons and relevant local information can be 
found in the ISF.
3.2
DISCUSSION OF TRIAL DESIGN, INCLUDING THE CHOICE OF 
CONTROL GROUPS
For single rising dose part, the design described in Section 3.1 is viewed favourable under the 
provision not to expose the subjects involved to undue risks since the main study objective is 
to investigate safety and tolerability of BI 655130.
With the rising dose design, double-blind conditions regarding the subject’s treatment (active 
or placebo) are maintained within each dose group. However, the current dose level will be 
known to subjects and investigators. The disadvantage of this trial design is a possible 
observer bias with regard to the dose-depending effects as well as time effects, but it has the 
virtue of minimizing subject risk by sequentially studying ascending doses. As time-effects 
are expected to be small relative to the differences between the doses in the broad range 
investigated, unbiased comparisons between treatments can still be expected.
The single subcutaneous part (
 will start at least 1 week after the first drug 
administration of the first dose group (
 of the single-rising intravenous dose part. 
It is standard in trials involving healthy volunteers to include a placebo group as control for 
the evaluation of safety and tolerability. Each dose group consists of 8 subjects with 6 on 
active treatment, and 2 on placebo. The placebo control group includes all subjects of all dose

3.3.4
Removal of subjects from therapy or assessments
3.3.4.1
Removal of individual subjects
An individual subject is to be removed from the trial if:
1. The subject withdraws consent, without the need to justify the decision
2. The subject needs to take concomitant drugs that interfere with the investigational product 
or other trial medication
3. The subject is no longer able to participate for other medical reasons (such as surgery, 
adverse events, or diseases)
4. An AE or clinically significant laboratory change or abnormality occurred that the 
investigator judges to warrant discontinuation of treatment. This may include cases of 
sustained symptomatic hypotension (BP <90/50 mmHg) or hypertension (BP >180/100 
mmHg) or of clinically relevant changes in ECG requiring intervention as well as 
unexplained liver enzyme elevations at any time during the trial.
5. The subject shows an elevation of AST and/or ALT ≥3-fold ULN combined with an 
elevation of total bilirubin ≥2-fold ULN (measured in the same blood sample) and/or 
needs to be followed up according to Section 10.1 of this clinical trial protocol and the 
‘DILI checklist’ provided in the ISF.
In addition to these criteria, the physician may discontinue subjects at any time based on his 
or her clinical judgment.
Infusion reactions should also lead to the removal of an individual subject. However, in mild 
transient cases of infusion reactions (with clinical symptoms such as dizziness, headache, 
nausea) requiring no treatment the clinical investigator may continue [P16-06636]. However, 
the overall infusion time must not exceed 90 minutes.
A subject can also be removed from the trial if eligibility criteria are being violated or if the 
subject fails to comply with the protocol (for instance, by non-adherence to dietary rules, or 
non-attendance at study assessments).
If a subject is removed from or withdraws from the trial prior to first administration of trial 
medication, the data of this subject will not be entered in the case report form (CRF) or trial 
database and will not be reported in the clinical trial report (CTR). The only exception to this 
rule is when the subject had an AESI and/or SAE that the investigator considers related to the 
screening procedure. If a subject is removed from or withdraws from the trial after 
administration of trial medication, this will be documented and the reason for discontinuation
must be recorded in the CRF. In this case, the data will be included in the CRF/trial database 
and will be reported in the CTR. At the time of discontinuation a complete end of trial 
examination will be performed if possible and the information will be recorded in the CRFs. 
If the discontinuation occurs before the end of the REP (see Section 5.2.2.2), the discontinued 
subject should if possible be questioned for AEs and concomitant therapies at or after the end 
of the REP in order to ascertain collection of AEs and concomitant therapies throughout the 
REP, if not contrary to any consent withdrawal of the subject. These discontinuations will be 
discussed in the CTR.

3.3.4.2
Discontinuation of the trial by the sponsor
Boehringer Ingelheim reserves the right to discontinue the trial overall or at a particular trial 
site at any time for any of the following reasons:
1. New toxicological findings or serious adverse events invalidate the earlier positive 
benefit-risk-assessment. More specifically, the trial will be terminated if more than 50% 
of the subjects show drug-related and clinically relevant adverse events of moderate or 
severe intensity, or if at least one drug-related serious adverse event is reported that is
considered to be unacceptable.
2. The expected enrolment goals overall or at a particular trial site are not met
3. Violation of GCP, or the CTP, or the contract with BI by a trial site or investigator, 
disturbing the appropriate conduct of the trial
4. The sponsor decides to discontinue the further development of the investigational 
product.
5. Dose escalation will be stopped as soon as at least 2 subjects at one dose level on active 
drug showed relevant individual QT prolongation, i.e. a QTc increase of greater 60 ms 
from baseline in connection with absolute QT or QTc greater than 500 ms, which has 
been confirmed by a repeat ECG recording.
The investigator / the trial site will be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in case of 
trial termination (except in case of the third reason).
3.3.5
Replacement of subjects
In case some subjects do not complete the trial, the trial clinical monitor together with the 
trial pharmacokineticist and the trial statistician are to decide if and how many subjects will 
be replaced. A replacement subject will be assigned a unique study subject number, and will 
be assigned to the same treatment as the subject 
 replaces.

Method of assigning subjects to treatment groups
Prior to the screening visit, subjects will be contacted in writing and informed about the 
planned visit dates. The subjects willing to participate will be recruited to dose groups 
according to their temporal availability. As soon as enough subjects have been allocated to 
one of the 4 dose groups, the following subjects will be allocated to one of the other dose 
groups. Therefore, the allocation of subjects to dose groups is not influenced by trial 
personnel, but only by the subjects’ temporal availability. As the study includes healthy 
subjects from a homogenous population in each ethnicity, relevant imbalances between the 
dose groups are not expected.
The list of subject and medication numbers will be provided to the trial site in advance. The 
allocation of subjects to study subject numbers will be performed prior to the first 
administration of trial medication. Once a subject number has been assigned, it cannot be 
reassigned to any other subject.
The randomisation procedure is described in Section 7.5.
4.1.3
Selection of doses in the trial
Three dose strengths for intravenous administration and one dose strength for subcutaneous 
administration are to be investigated in this trial. These three doses for IV will cover potential 
therapeutic dose ranges and provide a safety margin for future development. The number of 
doses will also allow for evaluation of dose proportionality.
This trial is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of BI 655130 in 
Asian healthy young male volunteers using a safe and tolerable dose achieved in previous 
trials.

Drug assignment and administration of doses for each subject
The treatments to be evaluated are outlined in Table 4.1.4: 1 below. Each subject will receive 
one single dose of trial medication. The dose volume for placebo corresponds to the dose 
volume of the respective dose level. For further details concerning timing see Flow Chart.
Detailed instructions for the preparation are provided in ISF.

For intravenous administration
The detailed instructions for the dilution of the trial product, the preparation of the infusion 
solution and the volume to be administered is provided in ISF. In all subjects the infusion 
solution will be intravenously administered over 90 minutes approximately between 8:00 and 
10:00 of the respective study day. Start and end time of the infusion will be recorded.
In case of safety concerns, e.g. due to infusion reactions, the investigator or his/her designee 
should stop of the infusion. Further based on 
 medical judgment he/she will provide 
medications such as steroids, etc. as needed.
For administration of the infusion, an intravenous indwelling catheter is placed into an arm 
vein of the subject and will be kept patent with a saline infusion. A second indwelling 
catheter used for collection of blood samples will be placed on the contralateral arm.
The administration of the trial medication on all study days will be done under supervision of 
the investigating physician or a designee. The so-called four-eye principle (two-person rule) 
should be applied for administration of trial medication and – if applicable – its preparation 
(e.g. reconstitution), if correct dosage cannot be ensured otherwise. For the purpose of drug 
accountability, the infusion set will be weighed before and after drug administration.
Water is allowed except for 1 hour before start of infusion and 1.5 h after end of infusion.
For subcutaneous administration
Following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, the medication will be administered. Trial 
drug will be injected subcutaneously in the abdominal region. The skin is sanitized before 
injection. Combi-stopper is removed from syringe containing trial drug. Syringe is connected 
to hypodermic needle for injection. Needle is placed subcutaneously and solution with trial 
drug is injected within 60 seconds. Detailed handling instructions will be provided in the ISF.
For all dose groups standardised meals will be served as outlined in the Flow Chart. Subjects 
will be kept under close medical surveillance until 48 h following drug administration. 
Thereafter subjects will be discharged and further assessments will be conducted in an 
ambulatory fashion. For restrictions with regard to diet see also Section 4.2.2.2.

4.1.5
Blinding and procedures for unblinding
4.1.5.1
Blinding
The trial is designed double-blind with regard to the subjects and the investigators (as well as 
the research staff at the trial site) in order to eliminate observer or performance bias. This 
means avoiding systematic differences in assessments regarding the subject’s treatment 
(active or placebo). According to the rising dose design, the current dose level will be known 
to subjects and investigators. The trial will only be unblinded to the subjects, investigators 
and trial site staffs after locking of the database.Sponsor staffs that have direct interaction 
with the investigator and site staff (e.g. CML and CRA) will not be aware of the treatment 
allocation (i.e. active vs placebo) as well until database lock.
Monitoring on drug accountability should be conducted by unblinded CRA.
Regarding the sponsor, the database of this trial will be handled open-label, meaning that the 
trial functions of the sponsor are unblinded (including clinical monitor, data manager, 
statistician, bioanalyst, pharmacokineticist, pharmacometrician as well as dedicated CRO
personnel). The objective of the trial is not expected to be affected.
4.1.5.2
Procedures for emergency unblinding
For blinded trials, the investigator will be supplied with a set of sealed envelopes containing 
the medication codes for each subject according to the randomisation scheme. The envelopes 
will be kept unopened at the trial site until the end of data collection. An envelope may only 
be opened in emergency situations when the identity of the trial drug must be known to the 
investigator in order to provide appropriate medical treatment or to assure safety of trial 
participants. If the envelope for a subject is opened, the sponsor must be informed 
immediately. The reason for opening the code break must be documented on the envelope or 
appropriate CRF page along with the date and the initials of the person who broke the code. 
At the close-out visit all envelopes are collected.
4.1.6
Packaging, labelling, and re-supply
Drug supplies will be provided by the Department of Pharmaceutical Development of 
Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG, Biberach, Germany. The clinical trial 
supply consists of containers holding the trial medication which are labelled with trial 
identification.
The clinical trial supply containers will be labelled with:

BI trial number

Medication number

Batch number

Name of product and strengths or identification code

Pharmaceutical dosage form, quantity of dosage units 

Route and mode of administration

Term ‘For Clinical Trial Use’ (domestic language)

Sponsor name and address


4.1.7
Storage conditions
Drug supplies will be kept in their original packaging and in a secure limited access storage 
area according to the recommended (labelled) storage conditions. Where necessary, a 
temperature log must be maintained to make certain that the drug supplies are stored at the 
correct temperature. If the storage conditions are found to be outside the specified range, the 
local clinical monitor (as provided in the list of contacts) is to be immediately contacted.
4.1.8
Drug accountability
The investigator / pharmacist / investigational drug storage manager will receive the 
investigational drugs delivered by the sponsor when the following requirements are fulfilled:

Approval of the study protocol by the IRB / ethics committee

Availability of a signed and dated clinical trial contract between the sponsor and the 
Head of Trial Centre

Approval/notification of the regulatory authority, e.g. competent authority

Availability of the curriculum vitae of the principal investigator

Availability of a signed and dated clinical trial protocol or immediately imminent 
signing of the clinical trial protocol 
Only authorised personnel as documented in the form ‘Trial Staff List’ may dispense
medication to trial subjects. The trial medication must be administered in the manner 
specified in the CTP. All unused trial medication must be returned to the sponsor. All used 
medication will be destructed locally by the trial site. Receipt, usage, return and disposal
must be documented on the respective forms in ISF. Account must be given for any 
discrepancies. 
The investigator / pharmacist / investigational drug storage manager must maintain records of 
the product’s delivery to the trial site, the inventory at the site, the use by each subject, and 
the return to the sponsor or alternative disposal of unused or partially used products. 
These records will include dates, quantities, batch / serial numbers, expiry (‘use-by’) dates, 
and the unique code numbers assigned to the investigational products and trial subjects. The 
investigator / pharmacist / investigational drug storage manager will maintain records that 
document adequately that the subjects were provided the doses specified by the CTP, and that
reconcile all investigational products received from the sponsor. At the time of disposal or

CONCOMITANT THERAPY, RESTRICTIONS, AND RESCUE 
TREATMENT
4.2.1
Rescue medication, emergency procedures, and additional treatments
There are no specific rescue drugs foreseen for the treatment of AEs. No special emergency 
procedures are to be followed. No additional treatment is planned. However, in case of 
adverse events in need of treatment, the investigator can authorise symptomatic therapy. In
those cases, subjects will be treated as necessary and, if required, kept under supervision at 
the trial site or transferred to a hospital until all medical evaluation results have returned to an 
acceptable level.
4.2.2
Restrictions
4.2.2.1
Restrictions regarding concomitant treatment
In principle, no concomitant therapy is allowed. All concomitant or rescue therapies will be 
recorded (including time of intake on study days) on the appropriate pages of the CRF.
4.2.2.2
Restrictions on diet and life style
While admitted to the trial site the subjects are restricted from consuming any other foods or 
drinks than those provided by the staff. Standardised meals will be served at the time points 
described in the Flow Chart. On Day 1 for all subjects, no food is allowed for at least 10 h 
before and 1.5 h after administration of the study drug (= end of infusion for intravenous dose 
group).
On all days of drug administration, starting from 1 hour before drug administration until 1.5 h 
after the completion of administration liquid intake is not allowed. Until 24 hours post-dose 
water intake will be within

Assessment of adverse events
5.2.2.1
Definitions of adverse events
Adverse event
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical 
investigation subject administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have 
to have a causal relationship with this treatment.
An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal 
laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal 
product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
Adverse reaction
An adverse reaction is defined as a response to a medicinal product which is noxious and 
unintended. Response in this context means that a causal relationship between a medicinal 
product and an adverse event is at least a reasonable possibility. Adverse reactions may arise 
from use of the product within or outside the terms of the marketing authorisation or from 
occupational exposure. Conditions of use outside the marketing authorization include off-
label use, overdose, misuse, abuse and medication errors.

001-MCS-40-106-RD-13 (5.0) / Saved on: 15 Jul 2014
Serious adverse event
A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any AE which:

results in death, 

is life-threatening, this refers to an event in which the patient was at risk of death at 
the time of the event; it does not refer to an event that hypothetically might have 
caused death if more severe, 

requires inpatient hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation,

results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity 

is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, 
or 

is to be deemed serious for any other reason if it is an important medical event when 
based upon appropriate medical judgment which may jeopardise the patient and may 
require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in 
the above definitions.
Medical and scientific judgement should be exercised in deciding whether other situations 
should be considered serious reactions, such as important medical events that might not be 
immediately life threatening or result in death or hospitalisation but might jeopardise the 
patient or might require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed above. 
Examples of such events are intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for 
allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in hospitalisation or 
development of dependency or abuse. Any suspected transmission via a medicinal product of 
an infectious agent is also considered a serious adverse reaction.
AEs considered ‘Always Serious’
In accordance with the European Medicines Agency initiative on Important Medical Events, 
Boehringer Ingelheim has set up a list of further AEs, which by their nature, can always be 
considered to be ‘serious’ even though they may not have met the criteria of an SAE as given 
above.
The latest list of ‘Always Serious AEs’ can be found in the RDC system, a remote data 
capture system which allows the entry of trial data at the trial site. These events should 
always be reported as SAEs as described above.
Cancers of new histology and exacerbations of existing cancer must be reported as a serious 
event regardless of the duration between discontinuation of the drug and the occurrence of the 
cancer.
Adverse events of special interest (AESIs)
The term AESI relates to any specific AE that has been identified at the project level as being 
of particular concern for prospective safety monitoring and safety assessment within this trial, 
e.g. the potential for AEs based on knowledge from other compounds in the same class. AESI 
need to be reported to the sponsor’s Pharmacovigilance Department within the same 
timeframe that applies to SAE, please see above.
The following are considered as AESIs in this trial:


Hepatic injury, as defined by the following alterations of hepatic laboratory 
parameters:
o
an elevation of AST and/or ALT ≥3-fold ULN combined with an elevation of 
total bilirubin ≥2-fold ULN measured in the same blood sample, and/or
o
marked peak aminotransferase (ALT, and/or AST) elevations ≥10 fold ULN
These lab findings constitute a hepatic injury alert and the patients showing these lab 
abnormalities need to be followed up according to the ‘DILI checklist’ provided in the ISF. In 
case of clinical symptoms of hepatic injury (icterus, unexplained encephalopathy, 
unexplained coagulopathy, right upper quadrant abdominal pain, etc.) without lab results 
(ALT, AST, total bilirubin) available, the Investigator should make sure these parameters are 
analysed, if necessary in an unscheduled blood test. Should the results meet the criteria of 
hepatic injury alert, the procedures described in the DILI checklist should be followed.
Intensity of AEs
The intensity of the AE should be judged based on the following:
Mild:
Awareness of sign(s) or symptom(s) that is/are easily tolerated
Moderate:
Enough discomfort to cause interference with usual activity
Severe:
Incapacitating or causing inability to work or to perform usual activities
Causal relationship of AEs
The definition of an adverse reaction implies at least a reasonable possibility of a causal 
relationship between a suspected medicinal product and an adverse event. An adverse 
reaction, in contrast to an adverse event, is characterised by the fact that a causal relationship 
between a medicinal product and an occurrence is suspected.
Medical judgment should be used to determine the relationship, considering all relevant 
factors, including pattern of reaction, temporal relationship, de-challenge or re-challenge, 
confounding factors such as concomitant medication, concomitant diseases and relevant 
history.
Arguments that may suggest that there is a reasonable possibility of a causal relationship 
could be:

The event is consistent with the known pharmacology of the drug 

The event is known to be caused by or attributed to the drug class.

A plausible time to onset of the event relative to the time of drug exposure.

Evidence that the event is reproducible when the drug is re-introduced

No medically sound alternative aetiologies that could explain the event (e.g. pre-
existing or concomitant diseases, or co-medications).

The event is typically drug-related and infrequent in the general population not 
exposed to drugs (e.g. Stevens-Johnson syndrome).

An indication of dose-response (i.e. greater effect size if the dose is increased, smaller 
effect size if dose is diminished).

Arguments that may suggest that there is no reasonable possibility of a causal relationship 
could be:

No plausible time to onset of the event relative to the time of drug exposure is evident 
(e.g. pre-treatment cases, diagnosis of cancer or chronic disease within days / weeks 
of drug administration; an allergic reaction weeks after discontinuation of the drug 
concerned)

Continuation of the event despite the withdrawal of the medication, taking into 
account the pharmacological properties of the compound (e.g. after 5 half-lives).
Of note, this criterion may not be applicable to events whose time course is prolonged 
despite removing the original trigger.

Additional arguments amongst those stated before, like alternative explanation (e.g. 
situations where other drugs or underlying diseases appear to provide a more likely 
explanation for the observed event than the drug concerned).

Disappearance of the event even though the study drug treatment continues or remains 
unchanged. 
5.2.2.2
Adverse event collection and reporting
AEs collection
Upon enrolment into a trial, the subject’s baseline condition is assessed (for instance, by 
documentation of medical history/concomitant diagnoses), and relevant changes from 
baseline are noted subsequently. 
Subjects will be required to report spontaneously any AEs as well as the time of onset, end, 
and intensity of these events. In addition, each subject will be regularly assessed by the 
medical staff throughout the clinical trial and whenever the investigator deems necessary. As 
a minimum, subjects will be questioned for AEs (and concomitant therapies) at the time 
points indicated in the Flow Chart. Assessment will be made using non-specific questions 
such as ‘How do you feel?’. Specific questions will be asked wherever necessary in order to 
more precisely describe an AE.
A careful written record of all AEs shall be kept by the investigator in charge of the trial. 
Records of AEs shall include data on the time of onset, end time, and intensity of the event as 
well as any treatment or action required for the event and its outcome.
The following must be collected and documented on the appropriate CRF(s) by the 
investigator:

From signing the informed consent onwards through the residual effect period (REP), 
until an individual subject’s end of trial: 
o
All AEs (serious and non-serious) and all AESIs. 
o
The only exception to this rule are AEs (serious and non-serious) and AESIs 
in Phase I trials in healthy volunteers, when subjects discontinue from the trial 
due to screening failures prior to administration of any trial medication. In 
these cases, the subjects’ data must be collected at trial site but will not be 
entered in the CRF or trial database and will not be reported in the CTR.


After the individual subject’s end of trial: 
o
The investigator does not need to actively monitor the subject for AEs but 
should only report relevant SAEs and relevant AESIs of which 
 may 
become aware of.
The residual effect period (REP) for BI 655130, when measurable drug levels or PD effects 
are still likely to be present after the last administration, is not known for this trial. Therefore,
all AEs reported until the end of trial examination (last per protocol contact) will be 
considered on treatment, please see section 7.3.3.
The follow-up period describes the period of time from the last administration of trial 
medication including the REP until the end of trial examination (last per protocol contact).
AE reporting to sponsor and timelines
The Investigator must report SAEs, AESIs, and non-serious AEs which are relevant for the 
reported SAE or AESI, on the BI SAE form via fax immediately (within 24 hours of 
awareness) to the sponsor’s unique entry point (country specific contact details will be 
provided in the ISF). The same timeline applies if follow-up information becomes available. 
In specific occasions the Investigator could inform the sponsor upfront via telephone. This 
does not replace the requirement to complete and fax the BI SAE form.
With receipt of any further information to these events, a follow-up SAE form has to be 
provided. For follow-up information the same rules and timeline apply as for initial 
information.
Information required
For each AE, the investigator should provide the information requested on the appropriate 
CRF pages and the BI SAE form (if applicable). The investigator should determine the causal 
relationship to the trial medication.
The following should also be recorded as an (S)AE in the CRF and on the SAE form (if 
applicable):

Worsening of the underlying disease or of other pre-existing conditions 

Changes in vital signs, ECG, physical examination and laboratory test results, if they 
are judged clinically relevant by the investigator.

If such abnormalities already pre-exist prior trial inclusion they will be considered as 
baseline conditions.
All (S)AEs, including those persisting after individual subject’s end of trial must be followed 
up until they have resolved, have been sufficiently characterised, or no further information 
can be obtained.
Pregnancy
In rare cases, pregnancy might occur in a clinical trial. Once a subject has been enrolled in 
the clinical trial and has taken trial medication, the investigator must report any drug 
exposure during pregnancy in a trial participant immediately (within 24 hours) by means of 
Part A of the Pregnancy Monitoring Form to the sponsor’s unique entry point.
Similarly, potential drug exposure during pregnancy must be reported if a partner of a male
trial participant becomes pregnant. This requires a written consent of the pregnant partner.
The outcome of the pregnancy associated with the drug exposure during pregnancy must be 
followed up and reported to the sponsor’s unique entry point on the Pregnancy Monitoring 
Form for Clinical Trials (Part B).
The ISF will contain the Pregnancy Monitoring Form for Clinical Trials (Part A and Part B).
As pregnancy itself is not to be reported as an AE, in the absence of an accompanying SAE 
and/or AESI, only the Pregnancy Monitoring Form for Clinical Trials and not the SAE form 
is to be completed. If there is an SAE and/or AESI associated with the pregnancy an SAE 
form must be completed in addition.
5.2.3
Assessment of safety laboratory parameters
For the assessment of laboratory parameters, blood and urine samples will be collected by the 
trial site at the time points indicated in the Flow Chart after the subjects have fasted for at 
least 10 h. Overnight fasting is not required at the discretion of the investigator or designate 
for retests.
The parameters that will be determined are listed in Tables 5.2.3: 1 and 5.2.3: 2. Reference 
ranges will be provided in the ISF. 
Manual differential white blood cell count or urine sediment examinations will only be 
performed if there is a clinically relevant abnormality in the automatic blood cell count or in 
the urinalysis, respectively, and it is deemed clinically necessary by the investigator.

Electrocardiogram
5.2.4.1
12-lead resting ECG
Twelve-lead resting ECGs (I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1 - V6) will be recorded using a 
computerised electrocardiograph at the time points given in the Flow Chart.
In order to achieve a stable heart rate at rest and to assure high quality recordings at 
comparable resting phases, all ECGs will be recorded for a 10-sec duration after the subjects 
have rested for at least 5 min in a supine position. The site personnel will be instructed to 
assure a relaxed and quiet environment so that all subjects are at complete rest during the 
recordings. ECG assessment will always precede all other study procedures of the same time 
point (except blood drawing from an intravenous cannula which is already in place) to avoid 
impact of sampling on the ECG quality. Electrode placement will be performed according to 
the method of Wilson, Goldberger and Einthoven.
At all time points single ECGs will be recorded. All locally printed ECGs will be evaluated 
by the investigator or a designee. ECGs may be repeated for quality reasons (like alternating 
current artefacts, muscle movements, electrode dislocation). Additional (unscheduled) ECGs 
may be collected by the investigator for safety reasons. These ECGs are assigned to the prior 
scheduled time point. Unscheduled ECGs will not be included into the statistical analysis of 
interval lengths. 
For the inclusion or exclusion (see Section 3.3) of a subject and for the assessment of cardiac 
safety during the study, the QT and QTcB values generated by the ECG machines or their 
manual corrections by the investigators will be used. 
Abnormal findings will be reported as AEs (during the trial) or baseline conditions (at 
screening) if judged clinically relevant by the investigator. Any ECG abnormalities will be 
monitored carefully and, if necessary, the subject will be removed from the trial and will 
receive the appropriate medical treatment. 
5.2.4.2
Continuous ECG monitoring
Cardiac rhythm (including heart rate) will be monitored by means of continuous 12-lead ECG 
recording for at least 15 min before (for baseline assessment) and 2 h following drug
administration.
5.2.5
Assessment of other safety parameters
5.2.5.1
Vital signs
Systolic and diastolic blood pressures (BP) as well as pulse rate (PR) or heart rate (heart rate 
is considered to be equal to pulse rate in healthy volunteers) will be measured by a blood 
pressure monitor at the times indicated in the Flow Chart, after subjects have rested for at 
least 5 min in a supine position. All recordings should be made using the same type of blood 
pressure recording instrument on the same arm if possible.

At the screening visit, the medical examination will include documentation of subject 
information, informed consent, demographics including height and body weight, smoking 
and alcohol history, relevant medical history and concomitant therapy, review of inclusion
and exclusion criteria, review of vital signs (BP, PR), 12-lead ECG, laboratory tests, and a

APPROPRIATENESS OF MEASUREMENTS
All measurements performed during this trial are standard measurements and will be 
performed in order to monitor subjects’ safety and to determine pharmacokinetic parameters 
in an appropriate way. The scheduled measurements will allow monitoring of changes in vital 
signs, standard laboratory values, and ECG parameters that might occur as a result of 
administration of trial medication. The safety assessments are standard, are accepted for 
evaluation of safety and tolerability, and are widely used in clinical trials. The 
pharmacokinetic parameters and measurements outlined in Section 5.5 are generally used 
assessments of drug exposure.

DRUG CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENTS AND 
PHARMACOKINETICS
Date and clock time of drug administration and pharmacokinetic sampling will be 
documented in the CRFs. The actual sampling times will be used for determination of 
pharmacokinetic parameters.
PK sampling times and periods may be adapted during the trial based on information 
obtained during trial conduct (e.g. preliminary PK data) including addition of samples and

5.5.2
Methods of sample collection
5.5.2.1
Plasma sampling for pharmacokinetic analysis
For quantification of BI 655130 plasma concentrations, approximately
 of blood will 
be taken from a forearm vein into a K2EDTA (ethylendiaminetetraacetic acid) anticoagulant 
blood-drawing tube at the time points listed in the Flow Chart under plasma PK. Blood will 
be withdrawn by means of either an indwelling venous catheter or by venipuncture with a 
metal needle. Two aliquots of plasma will need to be processed from the blood volume 
collected at each planned time point. The detailed procedure for sample processing and 
handling can be found in the Lab Manual.
After completion of the trial the plasma samples may be used for further methodological 
investigations, e.g. for stability testing. However, only data related to the analyte will be 
generated by these additional investigations. The study samples will be discarded after 
completion of the additional investigations but not later than 5 years after the final study 
report has been signed.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
5.5.3
Analytical determinations
As described in Section 4.1.5, the bioanalyst will be unblinded during sample analysis.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN
6.1
VISIT SCHEDULE
Exact times of measurements outside the permitted time windows will be documented. The 
acceptable time windows for screening, observation visit, and end of trial examination are 
given in the Flow Chart.
Study measurements and assessments scheduled to occur ‘before’ trial medication 
administration on Day 1 are to be performed and completed within a 2 h-period prior to the 
trial drug administration (including blank values for PK).
The acceptable deviation from the scheduled time for vital signs and ECG will be:

±15 min up to including 12 h

±30 min from 12h up to including 48 h

±60 min from 48 h up to Day 8

±24h from Day 15 up to Day 71

±48h on Day 92

±72h from Day 120 up to the last measurements
The tolerance for pharmacokinetic/ADA/laboratory parameters will be:

±1 min up to including 1 h

±5 min up to including 12 h

±15 min up to including 48 h

±60 min from 48 h up to Day 8

±24h from Day 15 up to Day 71

±48h on Day 92

±72h from Day 120 up to the last measurements
If scheduled in the Flow Chart at the same time as a meal, blood sampling, vital signs and 12-
lead ECG recordings have to be done first. Furthermore, if several measurements including 
venipuncture are scheduled for the same time, venipuncture should be the last of the 
measurements due to its inconvenience to the subject and possible influence on physiological 
parameters.
For planned individual plasma concentration sampling times refer to the Flow Chart. While 
these nominal times should be adhered to as closely as possible, the actual sampling times 
will be recorded and used for determination of pharmacokinetic parameter.
If a subject misses an appointment, it will be rescheduled if possible. The relevance of 
measurements outside the permitted time windows will be assessed no later than at the Report 
Planning Meeting.

6.2
DETAILS OF TRIAL PROCEDURES AT SELECTED VISITS
6.2.1
Screening period
After having been informed about the trial, all subjects will give their written informed 
consent in accordance with GCP and local legislation prior to enrolment in the study.
For information regarding laboratory tests (including drug and virus screening), ECG, vital
signs, and physical examination, refer to Sections 5.2.3 to 5.2.5.
6.2.2
Treatment period
Study participants will be admitted to the trial site in the evening of Day -1 and kept under 
close medical surveillance for at least 48 h following drug administration. The subjects will 
then be allowed to leave the trial site after formal assessment and confirmation of their fitness 
by the investigator or 
 designee. On all other study days, the study will be performed in an 
ambulatory fashion.
Trial medication will be administered as intravenous infusion or subcutaneous injection 
according to each dose group by the investigating physician or 
 designee. Details on 
treatments and procedures of administration are described in Section 4.1.4.
For details on time points and procedures for collection of plasma analysis, refer to Flow 
Chart and Section 5.5.2.
The safety measurements performed during the treatment period are specified in Section 5.2. 
of this protocol and in the Flow Chart. For details on time points for all other trial procedures, 
refer to the Flow Chart. AEs and concomitant therapy will be assessed continuously from 
screening until the end of trial examination.
6.2.3
End of trial and follow-up period 
For AE assessment, laboratory tests, collection of PK and ADA samples, recording of ECG 
and vital signs, and physical examination during the end of trial period, see Sections 5.2.2 to 
5.2.5.
Subjects who discontinue treatment before the end of the planned treatment period should 
undergo the end of trial visit.
All abnormal values (including laboratory parameters) that are judged clinically relevant by 
the investigator will be monitored using the appropriate tests until a return to a medically 
acceptable level is achieved. Adverse events persisting after trial completion must be 
monitored until they have normalised or have been sufficiently characterised. 
The end of the trial as a whole is defined by the ‘last regular visit completed by last subject’ 
or ‘end date of the last open AE’ or ‘date of the last follow-up test’ or ‘date of an AE has 
been decided as sufficiently followed-up’, whichever is latest.

STATISTICAL METHODS AND DETERMINATION OF 
SAMPLE SIZE
7.1
STATISTICAL DESIGN – MODEL
7.1.1
Objectives
The primary objective of this trial is to investigate the safety and tolerability of BI 655130 by 
using descriptive statistics for all endpoints comparing active dose groups to placebo. The 
primary endpoint is defined in Section 5.2.1. Inferential statistics is not planned (as explained 
in Section 7.2).
The secondary objective is the exploration of the pharmacokinetics (PK) of BI 655130. 
Endpoints as specified in 5.5.1 will be analysed by descriptive statistics. AUC0-∞and Cmax for 
intravenous doses will be subjected to analysis of dose proportionality by use of the power 
model. 
7.2
NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESES
Safety and tolerability of 4 different dose groups of BI 655130 are to be determined on the 
basis of the investigated parameters in comparison to placebo. It is not planned to test any 
statistical hypotheses with regard to these variables in a confirmatory sense. Instead, they will 
be described in their entirety and evaluated by descriptive statistical methods.
Confidence intervals will be computed and will have to be interpreted in the perspective of 
the exploratory character of the study, i.e. confidence intervals are considered as interval 
estimates for effects.
7.3
PLANNED ANALYSES
Adherence to the protocol (such as inclusion/exclusion criteria, times of measurement, 
compliance with intake of trial medication, treatment dispensing errors, prohibited 
concomitant medication, completeness and consistency of data) will be checked. Important 
protocol violations (IPVs) will be identified no later than in the Report Planning Meeting and 
provided in the TSAP.
7.3.1
Primary analyses
Analysis of safety and tolerability is described in Section 7.3.3.
7.3.2
Secondary analyses
The secondary parameters (refer to Section 5.5.1) will be calculated according to the BI 
Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) ‘Standards and processes for analyses performed within 
Clinical Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics’ (001-MCS-36-472). Analyses will be 
performed for parent drug.
Plasma concentration data and parameters of a subject will be included in the statistical PK

analysis if they are not flagged for exclusion due to a protocol violation relevant to the 
evaluation of PK (to be decided no later than in the Report Planning Meeting) or due to PK 
non-evaluability (as revealed during data analysis, based on the criteria specified below). 
Exclusion of a subject’s data will be documented in the CTR.
Relevant protocol violation may be:

Incorrect trial medication taken, i.e. the subject received trial medication the subject 
was not assigned to

Incorrect dose of trial medication taken

Use of restricted medications.
Plasma concentrations and/or parameters of a subject will be considered as non-evaluable, if 
for example

Missing samples/concentration data at important phases of PK disposition curve.
The PK parameter analysis set (PKS) includes all subjects in the treated set who provide at 
least one PK parameter that was not excluded according to the description above.
Assessment of dose proportionality
Dose proportionality will be assessed for AUC0-∞and Cmax in intravenous doses.
The basic model for the investigation of dose proportionality will be a power model that 
describes the functional relationship between the dose and PK endpoints.
The model consists of a regression model applied to log-transformed data. The corresponding 
ANCOVA model includes the logarithm of the dose as a covariate. 
Together with 
and 
, taking natural logarithms converts this model 
to a linear form as follows:
where
logarithm of the pharmacokinetic endpoint for subject j at dose level i; 
where number of dose groups i = 1, 2, 3, and j = 1, 2, …, N where N is 
the number of subjects per dose group;

intercept parameter;
slope parameter;
logarithm of dose i;
random error associated with subject j at dose level i (assumed to be 
independent and identically normally distributed).
This equation can be fit as a linear regression model.

Based on the estimate for slope parameter (β), a 2-sided 95% CI for the slope will be 
computed. Perfect dose proportionality would correspond to a slope of 1. The assumption of a 
linear relationship between the log-transformed pharmacokinetic endpoint and the log-
transformed dose will be checked.
7.3.3
Safety analyses
Safety will be assessed for the endpoints listed in Section 5.2.1. All treated subjects (that is, 
all subjects who received at least one dose of study drug), will be included in the safety 
evaluation. Safety analyses will be descriptive in nature and will be based on BI standards.
No hypothesis testing is planned.
Treatments will be compared in a descriptive way. The placebo control group in the safety 
evaluation will consist of all placebo treated subjects, regardless of the dose group in which 
they were treated. The active treatment groups will be compared to the placebo group in a 
descriptive way. Tabulations of frequencies/proportions will be used for the evaluation of 
categorical (qualitative) data, and tabulations of descriptive statistics will be used to analyse 
continuous (quantitative) data.
Measurements (such as vital signs, or laboratory parameters) or AEs will be assigned to 
treatments (see Section 4.1) based on the concept of treatment emergent AEs. Therefore, 
measurements planned or AEs recorded prior to first intake of trial medication will be 
assigned to 'screening', those between first trial medication intake until the end of trial visit 
will be assigned to the treatment period, and those after the end of trial examination will be 
assigned to ‘post-study’. These assignments including the corresponding time intervals will 
be defined in detail in the TSAP.
Adverse events will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA). Frequency, intensity and causal relationship of AEs will be tabulated by 
treatment, primary system organ class and preferred term. SAEs, AESIs (see Section 5.2.2.1) 
and other significant AEs (according to ICH E3) will be listed separately. 
Laboratory data will be compared to their reference ranges. Values outside the reference 
range will be highlighted in the listings. Additionally, differences from baseline will be 
evaluated.
Vital signs or other safety-relevant data observed at screening, baseline, during the course of 
the trial and at the end-of-trial examination will be assessed with regard to possible changes 
compared to findings before start of treatment.
7.3.4
Interim analyses
A preliminary analysis of available safety, tolerability and/or PK data will be performed in 
order to provide the results for the interaction with regulatory agency.
7.3.5
Pharmacokinetic analyses
The pharmacokinetic parameters listed in Section 5.5.1 for drug BI 655130 will be calculated 
according to the BI SOP ‘Standards and processes for analyses performed within Clinical 
Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics’ (001-MCS-36-472).

Subjects who are not included in the PKS (refer to Section 7.3.1.) will be reported with their 
individual plasma and individual pharmacokinetic parameters; however, they will not be 
included in descriptive statistics for plasma, pharmacokinetic parameters or other statistical 
assessment.
Only concentration values within the validated concentration range and actual sampling times 
will be used for the calculation of pharmacokinetic parameters. Concentrations used in the 
pharmacokinetic calculations will be in the same format provided in the bioanalytical report, 
(that is, to the same number of decimal places provided in the bioanalytical report).
7.4
HANDLING OF MISSING DATA
7.4.1
Safety
With respect to safety evaluations, it is not planned to impute missing values.
7.4.2
Plasma/urine drug concentration - time profiles
Handling of missing PK data will be performed according to the relevant SOP of the Sponsor 
(001-MCS-36-472).
Drug concentration data identified with NOS (no sample available), NOR (no valid result), 
NOA (not analysed), BLQ (below the lower limit of quantification), or NOP (no peak 
detectable) will be displayed as such and not replaced by zero at any time point (this rule also 
applies also to the lag phase, including the predose values). 
7.4.3
Pharmacokinetic parameters
Handling of missing PK data will be performed according to the relevant SOP of the Sponsor 
(001-MCS-36-472).
For the non-compartmental analysis, concentration data identified with NOS, NOR or NOA 
will generally not be considered. Concentration values in the lag phase identified as BLQ or 
NOP will be set to zero. All other BLQ/NOP values of the profile will be ignored. The lag 
phase is defined as the period between time zero and the first time point with a concentration 
above the quantification limit. 
7.5
RANDOMISATION
Subjects will be randomised within each dose group in a 3:1 ratio which reflects the ratio of 
subjects receiving active drug to placebo.
The sponsor will arrange for the randomisation as well as packaging and labelling of trial 
medication. The randomisation list will be generated using a validated system, which 
involves a pseudo-random number generator and a supplied seed number so that the resulting 
allocation is both reproducible and non-predictable. 
The randomisation list will contain additional blocks to allow for subject replacement (refer 
to Section 3.3.5).

DETERMINATION OF SAMPLE SIZE
It is planned to include a total of 32 subjects in this trial. The planned sample size is not based 
on a power calculation. The size of 8 subjects per dose group (6 on active treatment, and 2 on 
placebo) is commonly used in single-rising dose studies of the present type and in general 
considered as sufficient for the exploratory evaluation of single dose safety and 
pharmacokinetics [R95-0013].


Provide abdominal ultrasound to rule out biliary tract, pancreatic or intrahepatic 
pathology, e.g. bile duct stones or neoplasm.

Initiate close observation of subjects by repeat testing of ALT, AST, and total 
bilirubin (total and direct) at least weekly until the laboratory ALT and/or AST 
abnormalities stabilize or return to normal, then monitor further as specified in the
CTP. Depending on further laboratory changes, additional parameters identified e.g. 
by reflex testing will be followed up based on medical judgement and Good Clinical 
Practices (GCP).
