Single Rising Oral Doses of BI 207127 NA as Powder in the Bottle in Healthy Male Subjects

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The objective of this trial was to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and relative bioavailability of BI 207127 NA as powder in the bottle (PIB) and solid oral dosage form (tablets) without and with food.

Official Title
-----------------
Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Single Rising Oral Doses (5 mg to 3000 mg) of BI 207127 NA as Powder in the Bottle Reconstituted With PEG 400/Tris/SDS in Healthy Male Subjects. A Randomised, Placebo-controlled and Within Dose Groups Double-blinded Trial. Followed by an Intra-individual, Partially Randomised, Open Comparison of Powder in the Bottle and Tablet Without and With Food.
