About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Sequential Cohort Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Multiple Ascending Oral Doses of JNJ-28431754 in Otherwise Healthy Obese Male and Female Subjects

The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (ie, how the body affects the drug) and pharmacodynamics (ie, how the drug affects the body) of increasing doses of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) in healthy obese volunteers.

Read the detailed description

This study will be a single-center, randomized (the treatment is assigned by chance), double-blind (neither investigator nor volunteer knows the identity of the assigned treatment), placebo-controlled (one of the study medications is inactive), ascending multiple dose study (increasing doses of study medication) to assess the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of canagliflozin (a drug currently being investigated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus) in otherwise healthy obese volunteers. The study will consist of 3 phases: a screening phase, a double-blind treatment phase, and an end of study (or follow-up) phase. Volunteers will be assigned to 5 cohorts (groups) made up of 16 otherwise healthy obese men and women. Within each group, 12 volunteers will be given canagliflozin once or twice daily and 4 volunteers will be given placebo (inactive medication) once or twice daily for 14 days. The dose of canagliflozin will be different for each of the 5 groups and the second group will not begin treatment until at least 21 days after the first group start treatment. This 21-day gap will be applied to all subsequent groups. Each volunteer will participate in the study for approximately 58 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in urine glucose excretion per day

    The change from baseline in urine excretion per day will be compared following escalating doses of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754).

    Measured: Day -1 (Baseline) up to Day 17

  2. Change from baseline in urine glucose excretion per hour

    The change from baseline in urine excretion per hour will be compared following escalating doses of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754).

    Measured: Day -1 (Baseline) up to Day 17

  3. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores related to hunger, satiety, fullness and prospective food consumption

    Visual analog scale (VAS) scores will be obtained from the VAS questionnaire. In the VAS questionnaire, volunteers mark a point on a line (drawn between 2 statements) to indicate how they feel about the statements. The statements about hunger are as follows: "I am not hungry at all" and "I have never been hungrier". Other statements relate to satiety (feeling satisfied), feeling full and prospective food consumption. Scores will be compared following escalating doses of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754).

    Measured: Day -2 up to Day 17

  4. Change from baseline in mean 24-hour plasma glucose concentrations

    The change from baseline in mean 24-hour plasma glucose concentrations will be compared following escalating doses of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754).

    Measured: Day -1 (Baseline) up to Day 16

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Renal threshold for glucose excretion

    The point at which glucose starts to appear in the urine is known as the renal threshold. The way in which the renal threshold varies in relation to the dose of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) will be calculated.

    Measured: Up to Day 17

  2. Change from baseline in mean 24-hour plasma insulin concentrations

    The change from baseline in mean 24-hour plasma insulin concentrations will be compared following escalating doses of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754).

    Measured: Day -1 (Baseline) up to Day 14

  3. Change from baseline in mean 24-hour plasma C-peptide concentrations

    The change from baseline in mean 24-hour plasma C-peptide concentrations will be compared following escalating doses of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754).

    Measured: Day -1 (Baseline) up to Day 14

  4. Change from baseline in glucose excursions (after breakfast)

    Defined as the difference between the maximum glucose values observed during the 4-hour post-meal period minus the mean of the premeal measurements. Results will be compared following escalating doses of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754).

    Measured: Day -1 (Baseline) up to Day 14

  5. Change from baseline in insulin excursions (after breakfast)

    Defined as the difference between the maximum insulin values observed during the 4-hour post-meal period minus the mean of the premeal measurements. Results will be compared following escalating doses of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754).

    Measured: Day -1 (Baseline) up to Day 14

  6. Change from baseline in beta cell function

    Beta cell function will be calculated from the glucose, insulin, and C-peptide measurements taken post-breakfast on Day -1 up to Day 14. Results will be compared following escalating doses of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754).

    Measured: Day -1 (Baseline) up to Day 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) in people with Healthy, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C. at 1 site in United States.

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 4 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 13 Dec 2018. 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 United States. 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?

Change from baseline in urine glucose excretion per day (time frame: Day -1 (Baseline) up to Day 17). The study lists 4 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 13 Dec 2018.
