About this study

Official title: A Open-Label, Single Sequence Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Simvastatin Alone and of Simvastatin in Combination With JNJ-28431754 in Healthy Adult Subjects

The purpose of this study is to determine how multiple doses of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) affect the pharmacokinetics (ie, how the body affects the drug) and pharmacodynamics (ie, how the drug affects the body) of a single dose of simvastatin.

Read the detailed description

This study will be an open-label (all volunteers and study staff know the identity of the assigned treatment), single-center, fixed-sequence study (all volunteers receive the same medication on the same days and in the same order) to determine how multiple doses of canagliflozin (a drug currently being investigated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus) affects the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a single dose of simvastatin (a drug used to treat raised cholesterol). The study will consist of 3 phases: a screening phase, an open-label treatment phase, and an end-of-study (or follow-up) phase. During the open-label treatment phase, each volunteer will receive a single 40 mg dose of simvastatin on Day 1, followed by 300 mg of canagliflozin once daily on Days 2 through 6. On Day 7, volunteers will receive both simvastatin 40 mg and canagliflozin 300 mg. Each volunteer will participate in the study for approximately 32 days

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SimvastatinDrug

    Also called Zocor

    One 40 mg tablet taken orally (by mouth) on Day 1 and Day 7.

  • Canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754)Drug

    Also called JNJ-28431754

    One 300 mg dose (ie, one 100 mg and one 200 mg over-encapsulated tablet) taken orally (by mouth) on Days 2 through Day 7.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Canagliflozin + simvastatinExperimentalEach volunteer will receive a single dose of simvastatin on Day 1, followed by canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) once daily on Days 2 through 6. On Day 7 volunteers will receive a single dose of simvastatin in combination with a single dose of canagliflozin.
Receives: Drug: Simvastatin; Drug: Canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754)

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma concentrations of simvastatin

    Comparison of plasma concentrations of simvastatin following administration of a single dose of simvastatin alone or in combination with multiple doses of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754). This will be used to determine whether there is a pharmacokinetic interaction between simvastatin and canagliflozin.

    Measured: Up to Day 8

  2. Plasma concentrations of the active beta-hydroxyacid metabolite of simvastatin

    Comparison of plasma concentrations of the active metabolite of simvastatin following administration of a single dose of simvastatin alone or in combination with multiple doses of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754). This will be used to determine whether there is a pharmacokinetic interaction between simvastatin and canagliflozin.

    Measured: Up to Day 8

  3. Plasma concentrations of active 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitory activity

    Comparison of plasma HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity following administration of a single dose of simvastatin alone or in combination with multiple doses of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754). This will be used to determine whether there is a pharmacodynamic interaction between simvastatin and canagliflozin. (Simvastatin lowers cholesterol by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase).

    Measured: Up to Day 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Simvastatin and Canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) in people with Healthy, 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 2 inclusion and 1 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 29 Mar 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. 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?

Plasma concentrations of simvastatin (time frame: Up to Day 8). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01821027, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Mar 2013.
