About this study
Official title: Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Dose-escalation Study for the Assessment of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Single and Multiple Ascending Oral Doses of GLPG1972 in Healthy Male Subjects
The purpose of this First-in-Human study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability after single ascending oral doses of GLPG1972 given to healthy subjects, compared to placebo. Also, the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending oral doses of GLPG1972 given to healthy subjects daily for 14 days compared to placebo, will be evaluated.
Furthermore, during the course of the study after single and multiple oral dose administrations, the amount of GLPG1972 present in the blood and urine (pharmacokinetics) will be characterized.

The effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of GLPG1972 will also be evaluated. The potential of cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 interaction after repeated dosing with GLPG1972 will be explored as well.
During the course of the study after multiple oral dose administrations, the effect of GLPG1972 on biomarkers present in the blood (pharmacodynamics) will be characterized.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing GLPG1972 single ascending doses and GLPG1972 multiple ascending doses in people with Healthy, run by Lakefront Biotherapeutics 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 29 Jul 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
Change versus placebo in number of subjects with adverse events (time frame: Between screening and 7-10 days after the 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?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02612246, 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 29 Jul 2016.
