About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized, Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of JNJ-40411813 in Male and Female Elderly Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the study medication) and pharmacodynamics (the study of the action or effects the study medication has on the body) of single- and multiple, escalating oral doses of JNJ-40411813.

Read the detailed description

This is a double-blind (neither physician nor participants knows the treatment that the participant receives), randomized (study medication is assigned by chance), placebo-controlled (an inactive substance is compared with a medication to test whether the medication has a real effect in a clinical study), single- and multiple ascending dose study. This study consists of 3 phases: screening phase, treatment phase, and follow-up phase. This study will be conducted in 2 cohorts (groups) (Cohort 1: JNJ-40411813 50 mg and Cohort 2: JNJ-40411813 100 mg) and each cohort consists of 2 periods (Period 1: single dose and Period 2: multiple doses). Approximately 36 participants will be enrolled in this study (18 participants will be enrolled in each cohort) to receive JNJ-40411813 or placebo in 2:1 ratio. If safety/tolerability and pharmacokinetic results profile is favorable for single dose of JNJ-40411813, multiple dose administration will follow. Safety will be evaluated by the assessment of adverse events, vital signs, schellong test (a test for circulatory function), 12-lead electrocardiogram, physical examination, neurological examination (to measure mental status, motor examination, reflexes, sensory, gait and cranial nerves), vertigo (giddiness) symptom, and clinical laboratory tests which will be monitored throughout the study. The total duration of study participation for a participant will be 9 weeks.

It is assess by word presentation, immediate word recall, picture presentation, simple reaction time, digit vigilance, choice reaction time, spatial working memory, numeric working memory, delayed word recall, word recognition, and picture recognition. It refers to an information processing view of a participant's psychological functions.

    Measured: Both Cohorts, Period 1: Screening; Both Cohorts, Period 2: Day -1 (1 day before study treatment) and Day 7

  11. Addiction Research Center Inventory questionnaire (ARCI-Q)

    This questionnaire will be used for pharmacodynamics analysis. The ARCI-Q is a 49-item questionnaire that probes subjective feeling induced by a drug and categorizes them in four classes of drugs of abuse (morphine-like opioids, alcohol, stimulants and hallucinogens). This test is a self-rating scale. Only 'True (positive)' responses are scored. One point is given for each true response in items. The final score is the sum of the total 'true' responses. Lower scores indicate worsening.

    Measured: Both Cohorts, Period 1: Day -1 and Day 1 (3 hrs post dose); Both Cohorts, Period 2: Day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing JNJ-40411813 50 mg and JNJ-40411813 100 mg in people with Healthy, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C. 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 2 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 30 Aug 2013. 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. 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?

Cohort 1 and Cohort 2: Number of participants with adverse events (time frame: 9 weeks). The study lists 11 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 30 Aug 2013.
