Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The Maximum Mean Difference Between Each Single Dose of Either a Low Dose or a High Dose of Nerandomilast and Placebo in QTcF Changes From Baseline Between 20 Min to 24 Hours After Drug Administration
QT interval corrected for heart rate (using the method of Fridericia, QTcF) changes from baseline, measured between 20 minutes and 24 hours after drug administration, were analyzed using a linear Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM). Pairwise comparison was used to compare the QTcF changes for each dose of nerandomilast (e.g., low dose, high dose) with the placebo at every time point. Mean treatment differences in the QTcF changes from baseline at each time point were estimated by the differences in the corresponding least-squares means. Two-sided 90% confidence intervals based on the t-distribution were computed for each time point. The MMRM was adjusted for the discrete fixed effects treatment, period, time, the continuous fixed effects period- and participant-baseline, the fixed effect-by-time terms, participant as random effect and time within period as a repeated effect per participant. The covariance structure for the repeated effect time was unstructured.
MMRM included measurements at these time points [hours:minutes] post-drug: 0:20, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, 3:30, 4:00, 4:30, 5:00, 6:00, 8:00, 12:00, and 24:00. MMRM values at 12:00 (low dose) and 4:30 (high dose) are shown in the table below.
Secondary Outcomes (1)
The Maximum Mean Difference Between Moxifloxacin and Placebo in QTcF Changes From Baseline Between 20 Min to 24 Hours After Drug Administration.
MMRM included measurements at these time points [hours:minutes] post-drug: 0:20, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, 3:30, 4:00, 4:30, 5:00, 6:00, 8:00, 12:00, and 24:00. MMRM values at 3:30 (high dose moxifloxacin) are shown in the table below.

- Any laboratory value outside the reference range that the investigator considers to be of clinical relevance, in particular, hepatic parameters (alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, total bilirubin) or renal parameters (creatinine) exceeding the upper limit of normal
- Any evidence of a concomitant disease assessed as clinically relevant by the investigator
- Gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, immunological or hormonal disorders assessed as clinically relevant by the investigator
- 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 including but not limited to depression and suicidal behaviour

Clinical studies sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, phases I to IV, interventional and non-interventional, are in scope for sharing of the raw clinical study data and clinical study documents. Exceptions might apply, e.g. studies in products where Boehringer Ingelheim is not the license holder; studies regarding pharmaceutical formulations and associated analytical methods, and studies pertinent to pharmacokinetics using human biomaterials; studies conducted in a single center or targeting rare diseases (in case of low number of patients and therefore limitations with anonymization).
