About this study

Official title: A Single-Dose, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of JNJ-56021927 in Subjects With Mild or Moderate Hepatic Impairment Compared With Subjects With Normal Hepatic Function

The purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics of JNJ-56021927 in participants with mild and moderate hepatic impairment.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), single-dose, single-center, non-randomized study of JNJ-56021927 in participants who either have hepatic impairment or qualify for the control group. The study consists of 3 Phases: Screening Phase (21 Days), open-label treatment Phase (8 Days) and follow up Phase (49 Days). The duration of participation in the study for each participant is approximately 78 Days. Primarily the pharmacokinetics of JNJ-56021927 will be measured. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing JNJ-56021927 in people with Hepatic Impairment, run by Aragon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 2 sites in United States.

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 13 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 2 sites in United States. 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?

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of JNJ-56021927 (time frame: Pre-dose up to 1344 hours post-dose). The study lists 18 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 Feb 2025.
