About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Single- and Multiple-Doses of JNJ-42721458 in Healthy Male Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the medication), potential immunogenicity (ability to induce an immune response), and pharmacodynamics (what the drug does to the body) after administration of JNJ-42721458 in healthy adult male participants.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized (the study medication is assigned by chance), double-blind (neither physician nor participant knows the identity of the assigned treatment), placebo-controlled (an inactive substance that is compared with a medication to test whether the medication has a real effect in a clinical study), single-ascending (increasing) dose and multiple-ascending dose study of JNJ-42721458 compound in healthy males. The study is divided in two parts. Part 1 is a single-ascending dose (SAD) study which will include up to 10 panels (using ascending doses starting from 0.1 mg) in which a single dose of the study medication will be administered on Day 1. Part 2 is a multiple-ascending dose (MAD) study which will include approximately 6 panels (using ascending doses starting from 5.0 mg) in which multiple doses of study medication will be administered once daily for 10 days.

Part 2 will be initiated after completion of dosing and all relevant evaluations from Part 1. In each panel of Part 1 and 2, 6 participants will be randomly assigned to receive JNJ-42721458 and 2 participants randomly assigned to placebo. Safety evaluations will include assessment of adverse events, physical examinations, laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiograms, cardiac telemetry and evaluation of injection sites which will be monitored throughout the study. The total study duration for each participant will be approximately 6-7 weeks in Part 1 and 7-8 weeks for each participant in Part 2.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing JNJ-42721458 (single dose) and JNJ-42721458 (multiple doses) in people with Healthy, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC 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 6 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 May 2014. 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?

Part 1 and 2: Number of participants with adverse events (time frame: Up to 17 weeks). The study lists 9 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 May 2014.
