About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study of APD356 (Lorcaserin) in Healthy Japanese Adult Subjects

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of APD356 in healthy Japanese adult subjects. Regarding cohorts 1 to 3, this study is a single center, placebo-controlled, randomized,double-blind study. Regarding cohort 4, this study is a single center, randomized, open-label study that consists of two sequential two-way crossover studies. The study consists of 4 cohorts. In cohort 1, subjects will be randomized to 10 mg group (6 subjects) or placebo group (2 subjects) to receive single dose of study drug. In cohort 2, subjects will be randomized to 20 mg group (6 subjects) or placebo group (2 subjects) to receive single dose of study drug. In cohort 3, subjects will be randomized to XR-20 mg group (6 subjects) or placebo group (2 subjects) to receive single dose of study drug on Day 1 and multiple doses of study drug on Day 8-14 once daily before breakfast. In cohort 4, subjects will be randomized to Sequence A (8 subjects) or Sequence B (8 subjects) to receive study drug in the sequence shown below.

Sequence A: 10 mg tablet, 2 doses (12 hours apart) => XR-20 mg orange tablet, single dose => XR-20 mg orange tablet, q. d., multiple doses (fasted) => XR-20 mg orange tablet, q. d., multiple dose (fed)

Sequence B: XR-20 mg orange tablet, single dose => 10 mg tablet, 2 doses (12 hours apart) => XR-20 mg orange tablet, q. d., multiple dose (fed) => XR-20 mg orange tablet, q. d., multiple doses (fasted)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing APD356 10 mg, APD356 XR-20 mg and APD356 20 mg in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Eisai Co., Ltd. at 1 site in Japan.

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 6 inclusion and 20 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 10 Feb 2016. 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 Japan. 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?

Safety as assessed by adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, body weight and ECGs (time frame: Up to 30 days after last dose). The study lists 5 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 10 Feb 2016.
