About this study

Official title: Ascending Single-Dose Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of GSI-136 Administered Orally to Healthy Japanese Male Subjects and Healthy Japanese Elderly Male Subjects

This is a first-in-human study of GSI-136, a gamma-secretase inhibitor being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer disease. This study will take place in Japan only and will provide an initial assessment of the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GSI-136 after administration of ascending single oral doses to healthy Japanese male subjects and healthy Japanese elderly male subjects.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety and tolerability of GSI-136 as evaluated from reported adverse events, scheduled physical examinations, vital sign measurements, orthostatic vital sign measurements, cardiac rhythm monitoring, 12-lead ECGs, and clinical laboratory test results.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pharmacokinetics as evaluated from the blood and urine concentrations of GSI-136; Pharmacodynamics as evaluated from the levels of select biomarkers in the blood and the administration of a visual analog scale to measure sedation effects.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GSI 136 in people with Alzheimer Disease and Healthy, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer at 1 site in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jul 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and tolerability of GSI-136 as evaluated from reported adverse events, scheduled physical examinations, vital sign measurements, orthostatic vital sign measurements, cardiac rhythm monitoring, 12-lead ECGs, and clinical laboratory test results. (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Jul 2009; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
