About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo- and Active Comparator-Controlled, 4-Week Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Multiple Oral Doses of JNJ-41443532 in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the medication) and pharmacodynamics (what the medication does to the body) of treatment with JNJ-41443532 relative to treatment with placebo in type 2 diabetes mellitus participants.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized (the study medication is assigned by chance), double-blind (neither investigator nor participant knows the treatment that the participant receives), multicenter (study conducted at multiple sites), and placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a medication to test whether the medication has a real effect in a clinical study) and active comparator (an established effective treatment that is compared with a medication to test whether the medication has a real effect in a clinical study) controlled study (placebo or active comparator is compared with the study medication to test whether the study medication has a real effect in clinical study). The study consists of 4 phases: screening phase (45 days before administration of study medication); pre-dosing run-in phase (a phase before a clinical study is commenced when no treatment is given. In this study, participant's glucose level will be observed during run-in-phase: days 15 to 1 before administration of study medication); treatment phase, and follow-up phase (7 to 10 days after the last dose of the study medication). Approximately 88 participants will be enrolled in this study. All participants will be randomly assigned to 4 treatment arms: JNJ-41443532 250 mg; JNJ-41443532 1000 mg; pioglitazone arm; and placebo. Safety evaluations will include assessment of adverse events including ocular assessments, clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, vital signs, and physical examination which will be monitored throughout the study. The maximum study duration for each participant will be approximately 12 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline (Day -1) to Day 28 in Twenty-Four-Hour Weighted Average Glucose (24-Hour WAG)

    Difference is calculated as the change in 24-hour WAG in Least Square Mean (LSM) from baseline to Day 28 of each treatment group (pioglitazone, JNJ-41443532 250 mg, JNJ-41443532 1000 mg, and placebo). The statistical analyses shows the treatment differences (ie, each study medication group minus placebo) in the LSM change. 24-hour WAG is defined as the area under the plasma glucose concentration time curve over 0 to 24 hours, divided by 24.

    Measured: From baseline (Day -1) to Day 28

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change From Baseline to Day 28 in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG)

    Difference is calculated as the change in FPG in Least Square Mean (LSM) from baseline to Day 28 of each treatment group (pioglitazone, JNJ-41443532 250 mg, JNJ-41443532 1000 mg, and placebo). The statistical analyses shows the treatment differences (ie, each study medication group minus placebo) in the LSM change.

    Measured: From baseline to Day 28

  2. Change From Baseline to Day 28 in Insulin Secretion

    Difference is calculated as the change in insulin secretion in Least Square Mean (LSM) from baseline to Day 28 of each treatment group (pioglitazone, JNJ-41443532 250 mg, JNJ-41443532 1000 mg, and placebo). The statistical analyses shows the treatment differences (ie, each study medication group minus placebo) in the LSM change. Insulin secretion is measured by the absolute change in Homeostasis Model Assessment of steady state islet beta cell (HOMA-%B). HOMA-%B calculated as: (360 multiplied by Insulin [pmol/L]) divided by ([Glucose {mg/dL} minus 63] multiplied by 6.945). Higher value is better (signifies improvement relative to baseline).

    Measured: From baseline to Day 28

  3. Change From Baseline to Day 28 in Insulin Resistance

    Difference is calculated as the change in insulin resistance in Least Square Mean (LSM) from baseline to Day 28 of each treatment group (pioglitazone, JNJ-41443532 250 mg, JNJ-41443532 1000 mg, and placebo). The statistical analyses shows the treatment differences (ie, each study medication group minus placebo) in the LSM change. Insuline sensitivity is measured by absolute change in Homeostasis Model Assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Insulin sensitivity is HOMA-%S and HOMA-IR is the reciprocal of HOMA-%S. HOMA-IR calculated as: (Glucose [mg/dL]) multiplied by Insulin [pmol/L]) divided by (405 multiplied by 6.945). Lower value is better (signifies improvement relative to baseline).

    Measured: From baseline to Day 28

  4. Change From Baseline to Day 28 in Systemic Levels of Interleukin 6 (IL-6)

    Difference is calculated as the geometric mean change in IL-6 from baseline to Day 28 of each treatment group (JNJ-41443532 250 mg, JNJ-41443532 1000 mg, and placebo). The statistical analyses shows the treatment differences (ie, each study medication group minus placebo) in the geometric mean change. IL-6 is a systemic inflammatory markers and is an independent predictors of insulin resistance and progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus. IL-6 was not measured for pioglitazone guoup. The unit of IL-6 is picograms per milliliter (pg/mL).

    Measured: From baseline to Day 28

  5. Change From Baseline to Day 28 in Systemic Levels of Interleukin 18 (IL-18)

    Difference is calculated as the geometric mean change in IL-18 from baseline to Day 28 of each treatment group (JNJ-41443532 250 mg, JNJ-41443532 1000 mg, and placebo). The statistical analyses shows the treatment differences (ie, each study medication group minus placebo) in the geometric mean change. IL-18 was not measured for pioglitazone group. The unit of IL-18 is picograms per milliliter (pg/mL)

    Measured: From baseline to Day 28

  6. Change From Baseline to Day 28 in Systemic Levels of C-Reactive Protein (CRP)

    Difference is calculated as the geometric mean change in CRP from baseline to Day 28 of each treatment group (JNJ-41443532 250 mg, JNJ-41443532 1000 mg, and placebo). The statistical analyses shows the treatment differences (ie, each study medication group minus placebo) in the geometric mean change. CRP was not measured for pioglitazone group.

    Measured: From baseline to Day 28

  7. Change From Baseline to Day 29 in Body Weight

    Difference is calculated as the change in body weight in Least Square Mean (LSM) from baseline to Day 29 of each treatment group (pioglitazone, JNJ-41443532 250 mg, JNJ-41443532 1000 mg, and placebo). The statistical analyses shows the treatment differences (ie, each study medication group minus placebo) in the LSM change.

    Measured: From baseline to Day 29

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing JNJ-41443532 and Pioglitazone 30 mg in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 11 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Dec 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change From Baseline (Day -1) to Day 28 in Twenty-Four-Hour Weighted Average Glucose (24-Hour WAG) (time frame: From baseline (Day -1) to Day 28). 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 11 Dec 2013.
