Drug Drug Interaction Trial With Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitor (Itraconazole) in CYP2C19 Extensive Metabolizers and Poor Metabolizers

The objective of the current study is to evaluate the effect of once daily itraconazole on the pharmacokinetics of BI 409306 in poor (PM) and extensive metabolisers (EM) of CYP2C19.
