About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Single Ascending Dose Study to Investigate Safety and Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Food Effect of JNJ-54175446 in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of JNJ-54175446 versus placebo after single oral dose administration (ascending dose levels), to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) or the safety and tolerability at exposures resulting in full target engagement for at least 24 hours in all participants (whichever comes first), to characterize the pharmacokinetics of JNJ-54175446 in plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and urine and to investigate the effect of food (high fat/high calorie) on the pharmacokinetics of JNJ 54175446 after single oral dose administration.

Read the detailed description

This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, single ascending dose study in healthy participants for JNJ-54175446. The study will consist of 3 phases: a screening phase (between 21 and 2 days prior to dose administration), a double-blind treatment phase (8 days; Part 1 and Part 3) or an open-label treatment phase (8 days; Part 2), and a follow-up examination (within 14 to 21 days after dose administration). The maximal study duration for a participant will not exceed 6 weeks. In each cohort of Part 1 (6 cohorts) and Part 3 (1 cohort), participants will be randomly assigned to receive JNJ-54175446 or matching placebo and in cohort of part 2, all participants will be assigned to JNJ-54175446 treatment. In part 1, primarily maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will be assessed, along with safety and tolerability of JNJ-54175446. In part 2, pharmacokinetics (PK) of JNJ-54175446 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) will be assessed. In part 3, the effect of food on the plasma PK of JNJ-54175446 in young healthy male participants will be assessed. Safety will be monitored throughout the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events

    An adverse event is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product.

    Measured: Baseline up to 14 or 21 days after study drug administration

  2. Maximum Tolerated Dose of JNJ-54175446 in Part 1

    Measured: Baseline up to 24 Hours after study drug administration

  3. Maximum Observed Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Concentration (Cmax)

    The Cmax is the maximum observed concentration.

    Measured: Pre-dose; 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 hours after study drug administration

  4. Last Quantifiable Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Concentration (Clast)

    Measured: Pre-dose; 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 hours after study drug administration

  5. Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid Concentration (Tmax)

    Measured: Pre-dose; 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 hours after study drug administration

  6. Time to Last Quantifiable Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid Concentration (Tlast)

    Measured: Pre-dose; 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 hours after study drug administration

  7. Area Under Curve From Time of Administration up to the Last Time Point with a Measurable Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid Concentration (AUClast)

    Measured: Pre-dose; 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 hours after study drug administration

  8. Area Under the Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC[0-infinity])

    Measured: Pre-dose; 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 hours after study drug administration

    Measured: Pre-dose; 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 hours after study drug administration

  10. Elimination Half-Life (t1/2)

    The elimination half-life (t1/2) is the time measured for the plasma/CSF concentration to decrease by 1 half to its original concentration. It is associated with the terminal slope of the semi logarithmic drug concentration-time curve, and is calculated as 0.693/lambda(z).

    Measured: Pre-dose; 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 hours after study drug administration

  11. Total Clearance (CL/F)

    Total clearance of drug after extravascular administration, uncorrected for absolute bioavailability

    Measured: Pre-dose; 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 hours after study drug administration

  12. Creatinine Clearance

    Creatinine clearance was calculated by Cockroft-Gault formula. Creatinine clearance is equal to 140 minus age multiplied by weight and constant (1 for men and 0.85 for women) divided by creatinine in (micro mole per liter).

    Measured: Pre-dose; 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 hours after study drug administration

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing JNJ 54175446 and High fat/high Calorie Breakfast in people with Healthy, run by Janssen-Cilag International NV 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 9 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 Feb 2025. 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?

Number of Participants with Adverse Events (time frame: Baseline up to 14 or 21 days after study drug administration). The study lists 12 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 NCT02475148, 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 3 Feb 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
