About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized, Multiple Dose Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of JNJ-42165279 in Healthy Young and Elderly Subjects

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of JNJ-42165279 in healthy, young and elderly, male and female participants after repeated oral dose administration.

Read the detailed description

This is a double-blind (neither physician nor participant knows the treatment that the participant receives), randomized (the study drug 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) trial that will be conducted in two parts. Thirty two (32) healthy participants are planned to be included in total, in four cohorts (groups). Participants in each cohort will receive JNJ-42165279 (n=6) or placebo (n=2) once-daily for 10 consecutive days. In Part 1, two cohorts of healthy male participants, 18 to 55 years of age, will be enrolled. Cohort A will receive 50 mg JNJ-42165279 or placebo for 10 days, and Cohort B will receive 30 mg JNJ-42165279 or placebo for 10 days. In Part 2, Cohort C will consist of 8 healthy female participants of non-childbearing potential (surgically sterile or postmenopausal), 18 to 58 years of age, who will receive 100 mg JNJ-42165279 or placebo for 10 days. Cohort D will consist of 8 healthy elderly male or female participants, from 65 to 85 years of age, who will receive 100 mg JNJ-42165279 or placebo for 10 days. The dose may be adapted before each cohort starts based on available data. The maximum dose will not exceed 100 mg once-daily. For all participants, this study will consist of an eligibility screening examination (between 28 and 3 days prior to the first dose administration), a double-blind treatment phase consisting of 2 days before dosing, 10 dosing days (Day 1 to 10), 4 days after dosing (Day 11 to 14), and a follow-up examination (within 7 to 14 days after last dose administration). The total study duration for each participant will not exceed 8 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing JNJ-42165279 50 mg, JNJ-42165279 100 mg and JNJ-42165279 30 mg 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 7 inclusion and 5 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 3 Dec 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. 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?

Plasma concentrations of JNJ-42165279 (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 3 Dec 2014.
