About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Study of Multiple Rising Doses of TAK- 063 in Subjects With Stable Schizophrenia and Healthy Japanese Subjects

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of TAK-063 when administered as multiple oral doses at escalating dose levels in participants with stable schizophrenia and in healthy Japanese participants.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-063. TAK-063 is being tested to find a well-tolerated dose and also to treat schizophrenia. This study will look at how well different doses of TAK-063 are tolerated in healthy people of Japanese descent and in people with stable schizophrenia.

Five dose levels will be examined, starting at the lowest, in each population with 10 participants in each dose level. These participants will be randomized to receive TAK-063 (8 subjects) and placebo (2 subjects) once daily (QD) for 7 days.

In total, approximately 60 participants will be enrolled in the study. This trial will be conducted in single site in the United States. The overall time to participate in this study is up to 42 days. Participants will make 2 visits to the clinic, including 8-10 days confinement to the clinic, and will be contacted by telephone 7 days after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

Dose escalation and the actual choice of the subsequent dose level will only occur following a review of the blinded data from the previous cohorts.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Experience at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) After 7 Days of Dosing

    An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 14

  2. Percentage of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Safety Laboratory Tests

    The percentage of participants with any markedly abnormal standard safety laboratory values, including hematology, serum chemistries, and urinalysis, during the treatment period.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 8

  3. Percentage of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Vital Sign Measurements

    The percentage of participants who meet markedly abnormal criteria for vital signs, including oral body temperature, respiration rate, pulse, and resting blood pressure and after standing

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 8

  4. Percentage of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Values of 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Parameters

    The percentage of participants who meet markedly abnormal criteria specified by the protocol and statistical analysis plan during the treatment period.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 8

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Cmax: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration for TAK-063 and TAK-063 Metabolite M-I

    Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) is the peak plasma concentration of a drug after administration, obtained directly from the plasma concentration-time curve.

    Measured: Days 1 and 7 pre-dose and multiple time-points post-dose (Up to 24 hours)

  2. Tmax: Time to Reach the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) for TAK-063 and TAK-063 Metabolite M-I

    Time to reach the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), equal to time (hours) to Cmax.

    Measured: Days 1 and 7 pre-dose and multiple time-points post-dose (Up to 24 hours)

  3. AUC(0-tlqc): Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to the Time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration for TAK-063 and TAK-063 Metabolite M-I

    AUC(0-tlqc) is a measure of total plasma exposure to the drug from time 0 to time of the Last Quantifiable Concentration.

    Measured: Days 1 and 7 pre-dose and multiple time-points post-dose (Up to 24 hours)

  4. AUC(0-24): Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to 24 Hours Postdose for TAK-063 and TAK-063 Metabolite M-I

    AUC(0-24) is a measure of total plasma exposure to the drug from Time 0 to 24 hours post-dose.

    Measured: Days 1 and 7 pre-dose and multiple time-points post-dose (Up to 24 hours)

  5. CL/F: Oral Clearance of TAK-063

    CL/F is apparent clearance of the drug from the plasma, calculated as the drug dose divided by area under the curve from time 0 to 24 hours post-dose, after multiple dosing (at steady state).

    Measured: Days 1 and 7 pre-dose and multiple time-points post-dose (Up to 24 hours)

  6. Average Plasma Concentration on Day 1 (Cav) and Day 7 (Cavss) for TAK-063 and TAK-063 Metabolite M-I

    Cav is the Average plasma concentration on Day 1, calculated as AUC(0-24)/24 on Day 1. Cavss is the average plasma concentration on Day 7, calculated as AUC(0-24)/24 on Day 7.

    Measured: Days 1 and 7 pre-dose and multiple time-points post-dose (Up to 24 hours)

  7. Cmax Molar Ratio: Ratio of TAK-063 Metabolite Cmax to TAK-063 Cmax

    Cmax Molar Ratio is the ratio of Cmax molar values of the metabolite compared to the parent calculated by dividing Cmax molar values of metabolite M-I with those of TAK-063.

    Measured: Days 1 and 7 pre-dose and multiple time-points post-dose (Up to 24 hours)

  8. AUC(0-24) Ratio: Ratio of TAK-063 Metabolite AUC(0-24) to TAK-063 AUC(0-24)

    AUC(0-24) Ratio is the ratio of AUC(0-24) values of the metabolite compared to the parent calculated by dividing AUC(0-24) values of metabolite M-I with those of the parent drug TAK-063.

    Measured: Days 1 and 7 pre-dose and multiple time-points post-dose (Up to 24 hours)

  9. Accumulation Ratios Between Day 7 AUC(0-24) and Day 1 AUC(0-24)

    Accumulation ratios between Day 7 AUC(0-24) and Day 1 AUC(0-24), (Day 7/Day 1). Estimated Ratio (Day 7/Day 1) is the exponentiated results of the difference between Day 7 and Day 1 in log-transformed values which resolves to the ratio of Day 7/Day 1 estimates.

    Measured: Days 1 and 7 pre-dose and multiple time-points post-dose (Up to 24 hours)

  10. Ae(0-24): Total Amount Excreted in the Urine From Time 0 to 24 Hours Postdose for TAK-063 and TAK-063 Metabolite M-I

    Ae(0-24) is a measure of the total amount of study drug excreted in the urine from time 0 to 24 hours postdose.

    Measured: Days 1 and 7 pre-dose and multiple time-points post-dose (Up to 24 hours)

  11. Fe: Fraction of Drug Excreted in Urine for TAK-063

    Fe is a measure of the fraction of drug excreted in urine and is calculated as Fe = (total amount excreted in the urine from time 0 to 24 hours post-dose / dose)×100

    Measured: Days 1 and 7 pre-dose and multiple time-points post-dose (Up to 24 hours)

  12. CLr: Renal Clearance of TAK-063 and TAK-063 Metabolite M-I

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Oct 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Participants Who Experience at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) After 7 Days of Dosing (time frame: Day 1 to Day 14). 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 NCT01879722, 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 8 May 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
