Inclusion criteria

  • Healthy male subjects according to the assessment of the investigator, as based on a complete medical history including a physical examination, vital signs (blood pressure (BP), pulse rate (PR)), 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory tests

  • Repeated measurement of systolic blood pressure outside the range of 90 to 140 millimetre of mercury (mmHg), diastolic blood pressure outside the range of 50 to 90 mmHg, or pulse rate outside the range of 45 to 90 beats per minute (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 (including severe renal or hepatic impairment)
  • Cholecystectomy or other surgery of the gastrointestinal tract that could interfere with the pharmacokinetics of the trial medication (except appendectomy or simple hernia repair)

Primary outcomes

  1. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of Pirfenidone in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 to the Last Quantifiable Data Point (AUC0-tz)

    Time frame: At 0, 0:30, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours from pirfenidone administration (Period 1) and at 0, 0.30, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours from nerandomilast and pirfenidone administration (Period 2)

    Area under the concentration-time curve of pirfenidone in plasma over the time interval from 0 to the last quantifiable data point (AUC0-tz).

    Geometric least squares mean (adjusted geometric mean) and the standard error (actually adjusted geometric standard error) were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model on the logarithmic scale. The pharmacokinetic (PK) endpoints were log-transformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model.

  2. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of Pirfenidone in Plasma Over the Time Interval From 0 Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-∞)

    Time frame: At 0, 0:30, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours from pirfenidone administration (Period 1) and at 0, 0.30, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours from nerandomilast and pirfenidone administration (Period 2)

    Area under the concentration-time curve of pirfenidone in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞).

    Geometric least squares mean (adjusted geometric mean) and the standard error (actually adjusted geometric standard error) were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model on the logarithmic scale. The pharmacokinetic (PK) endpoints were log-transformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model.

  3. Maximum Measured Concentration of Pirfenidone in Plasma (Cmax)

    Time frame: At 0, 0:30, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours from pirfenidone administration (Period 1) and at 0, 0.30, 1, 1:30, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours from nerandomilast and pirfenidone administration (Period 2)

    Maximum measured concentration of pirfenidone in plasma (Cmax). Geometric least squares mean (adjusted geometric mean) and the standard error (actually adjusted geometric standard error) were calculated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) model on the logarithmic scale. The pharmacokinetic (PK) endpoints were log-transformed (natural logarithm) prior to fitting the ANOVA model.
