About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Ascending Multiple Dose Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of TAK-438 in Healthy Male Subjects

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of TAK-438 following multiple oral doses to healthy adult Japanese male participants

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-438. TAK-438 was being tested to assess side effects and how TAK-438 moves throughout the body after multiple doses have been administered. This study looked at lab results and side effects in people who took TAK-438.

The study consisted of 5 steps covering dose ranges of TAK-438 from 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 mg once daily for 7 days. The study population for each step included 12 participants. Within each step, 9 participants were randomized to TAK-438 and 3 participants were randomized to placebo. A total of 60 participants were enrolled.

The dosing groups in this study took place in sequential order. Therefore, the TAK-438 15 mg group did not start until the TAK-439 10 mg group had completed, etc. All participants in each dosing group were asked to take the study drug in the morning, after fasting for at least 10 hours, each day throughout the study.

This single-centre trial was conducted in the Japan. The overall time to participate in this study was up to 43 days. Participants made 3 visits to the clinic, including one 11-day period of confinement to the clinic, and a final visit 7 days after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE)

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product; it did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. The different categories of intensity (severity) were characterized as follows: Mild: The AE was transient and easily tolerated by the participant.

    Moderate: The AE caused the participant discomfort and interrupted the participant's usual activities. Severe: The AE caused considerable interference with the participant's usual activities.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 15

  2. Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Vital Sign Findings

    Vital signs included blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, and body temperature (armpit).

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 15

  3. Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Changes in Body Weight

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 15

  4. Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings

    The investigator or the subinvestigator interpreted the ECG using 1 of the following categories: "within normal limits", "abnormal but not clinically significant", or "abnormal and clinically significant". The time that the ECG was performed was recorded. The following parameters were recorded from the participant's ECG trace: heart rate, RR interval, PR interval, QT interval, QRS duration, and QTc interval.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TAK-438 in people with Dose Finding Study, run by Takeda.

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 17 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 28 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE) (time frame: Day 1 to Day 15). The study lists 19 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 NCT02123953, 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 28 Apr 2014.
