About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of Multiple Oral Doses of 30 mg JNJ-38518168 in Subjects With Mild and Moderate Hepatic Impairment Compared With Subjects With Normal Hepatic Function

The purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the study medication) of JNJ-38518168 at approximately steady-state (stable medication levels) after administration of multiple oral 30 mg doses of JNJ-38518168 to participants with mild or moderate hepatic (liver) impairment (abnormal function) compared with participants with normal hepatic function.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label (both [participants and investigator] know what treatment participants will receive) and multicenter study. The study consists of 3 phases: a screening phase (approximately 3 weeks), a treatment phase (from day -2 [2 days before the administration of study medication] to Day 18), and an end-of-study phase (7 to 10 days after the last dose of study medication). Approximately 24 participants (participants with mild hepatic impairment, moderate hepatic impairment, and normal liver function) will receive JNJ-38518168 for 14 days. Hepatic impairment will be evaluated according to Child-Pugh score. It consists of 5 clinical measures (amount of ascites [an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the abdomen], total bilirubin [mg/dL], albumin [g/dL], international normalized ratio, and degree of encephalopathy [abnormal functioning of the brain]). Each is scored from 0 (less severity) to 3 (highest severity). Total Child-Pugh score is the sum of all subscores and is graded as: mild (5-6 points), moderate (7-9 points), and severe (10-15 points). Safety will be evaluated by the assessment of adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, body weight, physical examination, and 12-lead electrocardiogram which will be monitored at various timepoints throughout the study. The total duration of study participation for each participant is approximately 6 weeks.

  4. Apparent clearance of JNJ-38518168 at approximately steady-state after multiple doses

    Measured: Day 14 (predose, postdose [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours])

Secondary outcomes (6)

  1. Maximum observed plasma concentration of JNJ-38518168 after single dose

    Measured: Day 1 (predose, postdose [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, and 24 hours])

  2. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve of JNJ-38518168 after single dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing JNJ-38518168 in people with Hepatic Impairment, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 3 sites 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 5 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 12 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Maximum observed plasma concentration of JNJ-38518168 at approximately steady-state after multiple doses (time frame: Day 14 (predose, postdose [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours])). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01863784.

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 12 May 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
