Clinical Trials

Several completed Phase 1 clinical trials sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim have evaluated the investigational compound BI-671800. Conducted in healthy volunteers as well as patients with asthma and perennial allergic rhinitis, these early-stage studies primarily assessed the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and metabolism of oral BI-671800 formulations.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

BI-671800 acts as a potent and selective antagonist of chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (DP2/CRTH2), preventing prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) binding and inhibiting receptor-mediated downstream signaling pathways that trigger Th2 cell recruitment and activation. This targeted inhibition suppresses pro-inflammatory mediator release and eosinophilic airway inflammation, providing clinical relevance in the management of allergic inflammatory conditions such as asthma and perennial allergic rhinitis.
