About this study

Official title: A Blinded, Placebo- and Comparator-Controlled Three-way Crossover Study to Investigate the Pharmacodynamics, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of JNJ-40411813 in Healthy Male Subjects

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of JNJ-40411813 on rapid eye movement sleep and deep sleep; safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the study medication) of JNJ-40411813.

Read the detailed description

This is a double-blind (neither physician nor participants knows the treatment that the participant receives), placebo-controlled (effect of the study medication will be compared with the effect of placebo [inactive substance]), comparator-controlled (effect of the study medication will be compared with the effect of FDA approved and marketed active substance [citalopram]), and 3-way crossover (method used to switch participants from one treatment arm to another treatment arm) study. This study will be double-blinded for treatment with placebo and JNJ-40411813; however, it will be open label (all people know the identity of the intervention) for treatment with citalopram. This study will consist of screening phase (within 28 days prior to the start of study medication), treatment phase, and follow-up phase (approximately 14 days after the last administration of study medication). Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 6 sequences (Sequences 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) to receive JNJ-40411813, citalopram, and placebo. Each sequence consists of 3 treatment periods (Period 1, Period 2, and Period 3) and each subsequent treatment period will be separated by a wash out period (no treatment) of at least 7 days. Approximately, 18 participants will be enrolled in this study (3 participants in each sequence). Safety will be evaluated by the assessment of adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, vital signs, and physical examination which will be evaluated throughout the study duration. The total duration of study participation for a participant will be approximately 10 Weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep latency

    REM sleep is a normal stage of sleep characterized by the rapid and random movement of the eyes. REM sleep latency is the time from sleep onset until first period of REM sleep. Polysomnographic recordings will be used to determine the time spent in different sleep stages (S1: light sleep, S2: light sleep, S3: deep sleep, and S4: REM sleep).

    Measured: Day 3 and Day 4

  2. Total duration of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep

    Polysomnographic recordings will be used to determine the time spent in different sleep stages (S1: light sleep, S2: light sleep, S3: deep sleep, and S4: REM sleep). It will be calculated as number of epochs scored as REM sleep divided by 2.

    Measured: Day 3 and Day 4

  3. Total time spent in deep sleep

    Polysomnographic recordings will be used to determine the time spent in different sleep stages (S1: light sleep, S2: light sleep, S3: deep sleep, and S4: REM sleep). It will be calculated as number of stages score as 3 or stage 4 divided by 2.

    Measured: Day 3 and Day 4

  4. Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety

    Measured: Up to Week 10

Secondary outcomes (17)

  7. Time in bed

    Time in bed is defined as time from 'lights out' to 'lights on'.

    Measured: Day 3 and Day 4

  8. Latency to persistent sleep

    Latency to persistent sleep is defined as time from 'lights out' to 'sleep onset'. Polysomnographic recordings will be used to determine the time spent in different sleep stages.

    Measured: Day 3 and Day 4

  9. Sleep onset latency

    Sleep onset latency is defined as time from 'lights out' to the beginning of 20 seconds epochs which have to be scored as sleep. Polysomnographic recordings will be used to determine the time spent in different sleep stages.

    Measured: Day 3 and Day 4

  10. Total sleep time

    Total sleep time is the duration of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep plus non-REM sleep (sleep stages: S1: light sleep, S2: light sleep, and S3: deep sleep).

    Measured: Day 3 and Day 4

  11. Sleep efficiency

    Sleep efficiency is calculated as total sleep time divided by time in bed.

    Measured: Day 3 and Day 4

  12. Number of awakenings

    Number of awakenings is defined as number of stage shift from any sleep stage to wake. Polysomnographic recordings will be used to determine the time spent in different sleep stages.

    Measured: Day 3 and Day 4

  13. Time spent awake after sleep onset

    Time spent awake after sleep onset is defined as number of epochs scored as 'wake' (from the beginning of latency to persistent sleep until 'lights on'). Polysomnographic recordings will be used to determine the time spent in different sleep stages.

    Measured: Day 3 and Day 4

  14. Duration of REM Sleep

    Polysomnographic recordings will be used to determine the time spent in different sleep stages (S1: light sleep, S2: light sleep, S3: deep sleep, and S4: REM sleep).

    Measured: Day 3 and Day 4

  15. Duration of Stage 1 Sleep

    Duration of Stage 1 Sleep is the number of minutes spent in stage 1 from 'lights out' to 'lights on'. Polysomnographic recordings will be used to determine the time spent in different sleep stages.

    Measured: Day 3 and Day 4

  16. Duration of Stage 2 Sleep

    Duration of Stage 2 Sleep is the number of minutes spent in stage 2 from 'lights out' to 'lights on'. Polysomnographic recordings will be used to determine the time spent in different sleep stages.

    Measured: Day 3 and Day 4

  17. Number of REM blocs

    Number of REM blocs is defined as number of rapid eye movement episodes with a duration of at least 5 minutes. Polysomnographic recordings will be used to determine the time spent in different sleep stages (S1: light sleep, S2: light sleep, S3: deep sleep, and S4: REM sleep).

    Measured: Day 3 and Day 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing JNJ-40411813 and Citalopram in people with Healthy, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C. at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 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 26 Sep 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 Germany. 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?

Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep latency (time frame: Day 3 and Day 4). 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?
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 26 Sep 2013.
