Trial summary

GLPG0492 is a selective androgen receptor modulator: the compound should help protect against (or help restore) muscle loss in case of immobilization (e.g. after orthopedic surgery) or due to aging (androgenic effect), but without anabolic effects (e.g. effect on testosterone).

About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Muscle Protein Fractional Synthesis Rate Induced by Repeated Administrations of GLPG0492 to Healthy Male Subjects and Assessment of the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Repeated Administrations of GLPG0492 to Healthy Postmenopausal Women.

GLPG0492 is a selective androgen receptor modulator: the compound should help protect against (or help restore) muscle loss in case of immobilization (e.g. after orthopedic surgery) or due to aging (androgenic effect), but without anabolic effects (e.g. effect on testosterone). In the first part of the current study it will be tested whether GLPG0492 given orally to healthy male volunteers increases the protein synthesis in muscle, as measured by the uptake into the muscle of intravenously infused phenylalanine.

In the second part of the study, the effect of the compound on the "hormone household" in healthy, postmenopausal women will be assessed.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GLPG0492 in terms of adverse events, vital signs, ECG and abnormal lab tests in comparison with placebo

    Occurrence of adverse events, vital signs, ECG and abnormal lab tests as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Measured: Up to 7 to 10 days after last treatment

  2. In male volunteers: effect on protein synthesis in muscle, as measured by the uptake into the muscle of intravenously infused phenylalanine

    During a 5-hour infusion of phenylalanine two muscle biopsies will be taken; this procedure is performed before and after one week of treatment with GLPG0492, to determine the effect of the compound.

    Measured: One week

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To determine the pharmacokinetic profile and metabolism after single and multiple oral doses of GLPG0492

    The plasma levels of GLPG0492 will be determined as a measure of pharmacokinetics, and the plasma and urine samples will be used for metabolism investigation

    Measured: Up to 24h hours after last treatment

  2. In female volunteers: effects on hormone household.

    In female volunteers the effect of two weeks treatment on hormone levels in the blood will be assessed.

    Measured: up to 7 to 10 days after treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GLPG0492 in people with Healthy, run by Lakefront Biotherapeutics NV at 1 site in Belgium.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 19 Apr 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 Belgium. 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?

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GLPG0492 in terms of adverse events, vital signs, ECG and abnormal lab tests in comparison with placebo (time frame: Up to 7 to 10 days after last treatment). The study lists 2 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 19 Apr 2012.
