About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-and Active-Controlled, Multiple Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of JNJ-39439335 in Subjects With Osteoarthritis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of multiple oral doses of JNJ-39439335 and to assess how JNJ-39439335 is absorbed (taken in), distributed, metabolized (broken down), and eliminated from the body (referred to as pharmacokinetics) in osteoarthritis patients. This study will also assess the effectiveness of JNJ-39439335 on pain.

Read the detailed description

This will be a double-blind (patient and study staff will not know the identity of assigned treatment), randomized (assignment to 1 to 3 treatment groups will be by chance, like "flipping a coin"), placebo-controlled, multiple dose study conducted at up to two clinical sites. Up to 42 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee will be enrolled in 3 cohorts (Cohort 1 to 3). Additional cohorts (up to 14 patients per cohort) may be added after completion of Cohort 3. The study consists of eligibility screening, a treatment phase, and 4 follow-up visits. The study duration for each patient will be approximately 10 weeks. Patients safety will be closely monitored during the study by review of adverse events, electrocardiograms, vital signs (including oral temperature), clinical laboratory tests, and physical examinations. During specified study visits, blood samples will be collected for pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics (inpatient patients), and pharmacogenomic (optional) evaluations of JNJ-39439335. The effectiveness of JNJ-39439335 will be evaluated by assessing pain using an 11-point numerical rating scale and by the Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index. In Cohort 1 and 2, all patients will take their study medication orally, twice a day for 21 days. The treatment groups for Cohort 1 are JNJ-39439335 10 mg, naproxen 500 mg every 12 hours, and placebo. The treatment groups for Cohort 2 are JNJ-39439335 25 mg, naproxen 500 mg every 12 hours, and placebo. The treatment groups for Cohort 3 will be determined based on the results of Cohort 1 and 2.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Measured: From screening up to final follow up visit.

  2. Change from baseline in vital signs, including oral body temperature

    Measured: From Day -1 up to final follow up visit

  3. Change from baseline in ECG

    Measured: From Day -1 up to final follow up visit

  4. Change from baseline in clinical laboratory tests

    Measured: From Day -1 up to final follow up visit

  5. Concentaton of JNJ-39439335 in blood and urine samples

    Measured: From Day 1 up to final follow up visit

  6. Concentration of JNJ-39439335 in blood and urine samples

    Measured: From Day 1 up to final follow up visit

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change from baseline in pain numerical rating scale

    Measured: From Day 2 up to final follow up visit

  2. Change from baseline in Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)

    Measured: From Day -1 up to final follow up visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing JNJ-39439335 and Naproxen in people with Osteoarthritis, Knee, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 1 site in South Africa.

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 6 inclusion and 10 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 9 Aug 2012. 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 South Africa. 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?

Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability (time frame: From screening up to final follow up visit.). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Aug 2012.
