About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single Ascending Dose Study in Healthy Subjects and Multiple Dose Study of JNJ-55920839 in Subjects With Mild to Moderate Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of JNJ-55920839 following single ascending intravenous (IV) dose administration in healthy participants and a single subcutaneous dose in healthy participants and multiple IV dose administrations in participants with mild to moderate Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study of JNJ-55920839. The study consists of Screening Period of 28 days. The healthy participants will have a 6-day/5-night inpatient period. All Participants will receive study agent on Day 1 and SLE Participants will receive additional doses on Days 15, 29, 43, 57, and 71. The total duration of participation for each participant will be approximately 13 weeks for healthy participants, 22 weeks for participants with SLE. All eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive active agent or placebo. The study will be conducted in 2 parts. In Part 1, single ascending doses of JNJ55920839 or placebo will be administered to sequential cohorts of healthy participants as an IV infusion or as a subcutaneous injection. In Part 2, multiple doses of JNJ-55920839 or placebo will be administered as IV infusions to participants with SLE. Blood samples will be collected for assessment of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics parameters in both part 1 and 2, along with assessment of safety and clinical outcomes. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing JNJ-55920839 in people with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Healthy, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 16 sites in 7 countries.

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 12 inclusion and 10 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 16 sites in Spain, United States, Belgium, Poland, Romania and 2 more countries. 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 Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability of JNJ-55920839 (Part 1) (time frame: Through Week 13). The study lists 2 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 NCT02609789, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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.
