Plain-language summary

The aim of this trial is to establish bioequivalence between EU-, US- and Japan-sourced Otezla® tablet formulations to assure comparability of results from Phase III trials of BI 730357 (new oral agent for treatment of psoriasis as well as other T helper 17 cells (Th17)-mediated diseases) regardless of whether only the EU-sourced Otezla® or EU and US-sourced Otezla®/Japan-sourced Otezla® have been used as an active comparator.

Inclusion Criteria: * Healthy male or female 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 * Age of 18 to 55 years (inclusive) * Body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 to 29.9 kg/m2 (inclusive) * Signed and dated written informed consent prior to admission to the study, in accordance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and local legislation * Male subjects, or female subjects who meet any of the following criteria for a highly effective contraception from at least 30 days before the first administration of trial medication until 30 days after trial completion: * Use of combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception that prevents ovulation (oral, intravaginal or transdermal), plus condom * Use of progestogen-only hormonal contraception that inhibits ovulation (only injectables or implants), plus condom * Use of intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) * A vasectomised sexual partner (vasectomy at least 1 year prior to enrolment) * Surgically sterilised (including hysterectomy or bilateral occlusion) * Postmenopausal, defined as no menses for 1 year without an alternative medical cause (in questionable cases a blood sample with levels of Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) above 40 U/L and estradiol below 30 ng/L is confirmat…

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
