About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Randomized, Controlled, 3-way Crossover, Pilot Study to Evaluate the Duration of Effects on Simulated Car Driving and Cognitive Performance After a Single Dose of JNJ-42847922, Zolpidem and Placebo in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of JNJ-42847922, compared to zolpidem and placebo, on driving performance as assessed by the mean difference of standard deviation of lateral position (SDLP) after forced awakening using a validated driving simulator test at 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours post-evening dose.

Read the detailed description

This is a single center, double-blind (neither Investigator nor participant knows which treatment the participant receives), randomized (study drug assigned by chance), 3-way cross-over (the same medications provided to all participants but in different sequence), pilot study in healthy male and female participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 6 treatment and planning sequences. The study will consist of 3 parts: Screening Phase (between 21 days and 1 day prior to the first dose administration), a 3-way crossover double-blind, single dose treatment Phase and follow-up Phase (7 to 10 days after last dose administration). The maximum study duration for each participant will not exceed 7 weeks. The double-blind crossover treatment phase will consist of 3 treatment periods separated by a washout period of at least 3 days between dosing. Participants will receive either Treatment A (2 capsules of 20 milligram [mg] JNJ-42847922), Treatment B (10 mg zolpidem and 1 placebo capsule) or Treatment C (2 placebo capsules) in each treatment period. Driving performance will be assessed primarily by the mean difference of standard deviation of lateral position (SDLP) from an on road driving test. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Scores include time to completion and errors.

  16. Postural Stability Test

    Postural stability will be measured by body sway meter which allows measurement of body movements in a single plane. Body sway is measured with a pot string meter (celesco) based on the Wright ataxiameter (Wright, 1971). With a string attached to the waist, all body movements over a period of time are integrated and expressed as millimeter sway. The total period of body sway measurement will be two minutes.

An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.

    Measured: up to Follow-up (7-10 days after last dose of study drug)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing JNJ-42847922 and Zolpidem in people with Healthy, run by Janssen-Cilag International NV at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 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 24 Mar 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 Netherlands. 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?

Standard Deviation of Lateral Position (SDLP) Assessed From an On-road Driving Test (time frame: up to 8 hours post-dose). 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 24 Mar 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
