             accordance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and local legislation

        Exclusion criteria:

          -  Any finding in the medical examination (including Blood pressure (BP), Pulse rate (PR)
             or Electrocardiogram (ECG) and including the neurological examination) deviating from
             normal and assessed as clinically relevant by the investigator

          -  Repeated measurement of systolic blood pressure outside the range of 90 to 140 mmHg,
             diastolic blood pressure outside the range of 50 to 90 mmHg, or pulse rate outside the
             range of 45 to 90 bpm

          -  Any laboratory value outside the reference range that the investigator considers to be
             of clinical relevance

          -  Any evidence of a concomitant disease assessed as clinically relevant by the
             investigator

          -  Gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic,
             immunological or hormonal disorders

          -  Cholecystectomy or other surgery of the gastrointestinal tract that could interfere
             with the pharmacokinetics of the trial medication (except appendectomy or simple
             hernia repair)

          -  Diseases of the central nervous system (including but not limited to any kind of
             seizures or stroke), and other relevant neurological or psychiatric disorders

          -  History of relevant orthostatic hypotension, fainting spells, or blackouts

          -  Chronic or relevant acute infections

          -  History of relevant allergy or hypersensitivity (including allergy to the trial
             medication or its excipients)

          -  Use of drugs within 30 days of planned administration of trial medication that might
             reasonably influence the results of the trial (including drugs that cause QT/QTc
             interval prolongation)

          -  Intake of an investigational drug in another clinical trial within 60 days of planned
             administration of investigational drug in the current trial, or concurrent
             participation in another clinical trial in which investigational drug is administered

          -  Smoker (unless the subject quit smoking for at least 3 months prior to first planned
             administration of trial medication)

          -  Alcohol abuse (consumption of more than 24 g per day)

          -  Drug abuse or positive drug screening

          -  Blood donation of more than 100 mL within 30 days of planned administration of trial
             medication or intended blood donation during the trial

          -  Intention to perform excessive physical activities within one week prior to the
             administration of trial medication or during the trial

          -  Inability to comply with the dietary regimen of the trial site

          -  A marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval (such as QTc intervals that are
             repeatedly greater than 450 ms) or any other relevant ECG finding at screening

          -  A history of additional risk factors for Torsade de Pointes (such as heart failure,
             hypokalaemia, or family history of Long QT Syndrome)

          -  Subject is assessed as unsuitable for inclusion by the investigator, for instance,
             because the subject is not considered able to understand and comply with study
             requirements, or has a condition that would not allow safe participation in the study

          -  History of relevant neurological disorder affecting the peripheral or central nervous
             system (this includes, but is not limited to: stroke, epilepsy, inflammatory or
             atrophic diseases affecting the nervous system, cluster headache or any cancer of the
             nervous system). Febrile seizures in childhood or adolescence, recovered carpal tunnel
             syndrome, recovered uncomplicated meningitis, recovered herpes zoster, tension
             headache, occasional benign tics (e.g. due to stress) or minor par- or dysesthesia
             (e.g. as a side effect of prior blood withdrawal) do not constitute a history of
             relevant neurological disorder.

          -  History of immunological disease except allergy not relevant to the trial (such as
             mild hay fever or dust mite allergy) and except asthma in childhood or adolescence

          -  History of cancer (other than successfully treated basal cell carcinoma)

          -  Liver enzymes (ALT, AST, gGT, AP) above upper limit of normal at the screening
             examination

          -  Within 10 days prior to administration of trial medication, use of any drug that could
             reasonably inhibit platelet aggregation or coagulation (e.g., acetylsalicylic acid)

          -  Male subjects with Woman of child bearing potential (WOCBP) partner who are unwilling
             to use male contraception (condom or sexual abstinence) from time point of first
             administration of trial medication until 30 days after the last administration of
             trial medication
