About this study
Official title: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized, Single Ascending Dose Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of JNJ-42165279 in Healthy Male Subjects
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single ascending doses as well as repeated doses of JNJ-42165279 in healthy male participants.
Read the detailed description
This is a single-site, randomized (participants are assigned to treatment by chance), double-blind study (neither physician nor participant knows whether the participant is receiving active treatment or placebo). Placebo is an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect. This study consists of two parts (part 1, single dosing and part 2, multiple dosing). Part 1: An alternating panel design will be used, whereby the first panel of 9 participants will receive the first, third, and fifth administered doses, while the second panel of 9 participants will receive the second, fourth, and sixth administered doses.Up to 2 additional dosings (1 per panel) may be evaluated to further understand the study drug. For each dose administration, 6 participants will be assigned to active treatment and 3 to placebo. Each participant will receive JNJ-42165279 on 2 occasions and placebo once during the first 3 dosings. The planned doses of JNJ-42165279 range from 2.5 to 500 mg. The sponsor and investigator will review blinded data associated with each dose prior to administration of the next dose. Participants will check into the study center the morning prior to each dosing (Day -1) and will remain at the center until discharge 72 hours after dosing (Day 4). Participants will be dosed approximately every 4 weeks. Part 2: A separate cohort of 9 healthy male volunteers will receive repeated daily dosing of 100 mg JNJ-42165279 or placebo (6 participants will receive JNJ-42165279 and 3 participants will receive placebo) for 6 consecutive days. Participants will check into the study center the morning prior to their first dosing (Day -1) and will remain at the center until discharge 72 hours after receiving their last dose on Day 6. Participants in Part 1 and 2 will return for a follow-up visit 7 to 14 days after their final discharge from the study center.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Incidents of adverse events amongst participants (Part 1)
As a measure of safety.
Measured: Day -21 to Day 114 (~19 wks)
Incidents of adverse events amongst participants (Part 2)
Measured: Day -21 to Day 23 (~6 wks)
Pharmacokinetics of JNJ-42165279 as measured by Cmax (Part 1)
Cmax is defined as maximum plasma concentration of JNJ-42165279.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 4
Pharmacokinetics of JNJ-42165279 as measured by Cmax (Part 2)
Measured: Day 1 to Day 7
Pharmacokinetics of JNJ-42165279 as measured by AUC (Part 1)
AUC is defined area under the plasma concentration time curve from 0 to t hours post dosing of JNJ-42165279.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 4
Pharmacokinetics of JNJ-42165279 as measured by AUC (Part 2)
Measured: Day 1 to Day 7
Secondary outcomes (8)
Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibition in white blood cells (WBCs) (Part 1)
Measured: Day 1 to Day 4
FAAH inhibition in WBC (Part 2)
Measured: Day 1 to Day 7 and Day 9
Effects on mood (Part 1)
This is measured by scores on Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) questionnaires (Profile of Mood States [POMS], State version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory [STAIS], and the Exercise-Induced Feeling Inventory [EFI]). The POMS is a valid and reliable self-report scale that can be utilized to assess both positive and negative, transient, fluctuating mood states. The STAIS is a commonly-used, validated instrument to assess anxiety. The EFI assesses emotions commonly associated with exercise.
Measured: Day 1 and Day 2
Effects on mood (Part 2)
Measured: Day 1 to Day 9
Effects on cognition (Part 1)
This is assessed by the time to complete Trail Making Test (TMT).
Measured: Day -1 and Day 1
Effects on cognition (Part 2)
Measured: Day -1, Day 1 and Day 6
Effects on pain tolerance (Part 1)
This is measured by pressure pain tolerance threshold using an electronic pressure algometer.
Measured: Day -1 to Day 2
Effects on drowsiness (Part 2)
This is measured by Stanford Sleepiness Scale (SSS). This 7 point Likerttype scale is used to rate the drowsiness with the descriptors ranging from "feeling active, vital, alert, and wide awake" (score= 1) to "no longer fighting sleep, sleep onset soon, and having dream like thoughts" (score=7).
Measured: Day 1 to Day 6

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing JNJ-42165279 2.5 - 500 mg oral and JNJ-42165279 100 mg oral in people with Healthy Volunteers and Pharmacokinetics, run by Janssen-Cilag International 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 3 inclusion and 12 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 6 Jul 2017. 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. 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?
Incidents of adverse events amongst participants (Part 1) (time frame: Day -21 to Day 114 (~19 wks)). 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 6 Jul 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
