Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 20 to 55 years
  • Men only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Is in good health as determined by physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), and laboratory evaluations.
  • Weighs at least 45 kilogram (kg) and has a body mass index (BMI) from 18.0 to 30.0 kilogram per square meter (kg/m^2), inclusive, at Screening.

Who cannot join

  • Has a history of drug abuse (defined as any illicit drug use) or a history of alcohol abuse (defined as regular consumption of more than 21 units per week) within 1 year prior to the Screening Visit or is unwilling to agree to abstain from alcohol and drugs throughout the study. One unit is equivalent to 8 grams of pure alcohol, which is equivalent to 10 milliliter (mL) of pure ethanol (alcohol) or approximately a half-pint of beer, 1 measure of spirits, or 1 glass of wine.
  • Has used nicotine-containing products (including but not limited to cigarettes, pipes, cigars, chewing tobacco, nicotine patch or nicotine gum) within 28 days prior to Check-in on Day -1. Cotinine test is positive at Screening or Check-in (Day -1).
  • Has poor peripheral venous access.
  • Has donated or lost 450 mL or more of his blood volume (including plasmapheresis), or had a transfusion of any blood product within 90 days prior to Confinement Period 1.
  • Has had previous research-related exposure to ionizing radiation such that, in combination with the exposure from this study, their exposure will be greater than (>)10 millisievert (mSv) for the previous year.
  • Has a contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on the standard MRI screening questionnaire. Contraindications include ferromagnetic foreign bodies (example, shrapnel, ferromagnetic fragments in the orbital area), certain implanted medical devices (example, aneurysm clips, cardiac pacemakers), or claustrophobia.
  • Has findings on the screening brain MRI scan that will potentially compromise participant safety or the scientific integrity of the study data if the participant were to participate in this study.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label, Positron Emission Tomography Study in Healthy Subjects to Determine the Effect of TAK-041 on Amphetamine-Induced Dopamine Release in the CNS After Single-Dose Oral Administration

The purpose of this study is to determine brain penetration of single oral doses of TAK-041 and its effects on amphetamine-induced dopamine release in the Central Nervous System (CNS).

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-041. This study will look at brain penetration of single oral doses of TAK-041 and its effects on amphetamine-induced dopamine release in the CNS.

The study will enroll participants until 12 evaluable participants complete all study procedures. The first 4 participants enrolled in this study will receive a dose of 20 mg TAK-041 and 0.50 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) dose of amphetamine. The dose for subsequent participants will be determined based on the results of amphetamine-induced dopamine release in the first 4 participants (5 to 40 for TAK-041 and 0.25 or 0.50 mg/kg for the amphetamine).

This single-center trial will be conducted in the United Kingdom. The overall time to participate in this study is approximately 92 days. Participants will remain confined to the clinic for 3 to 4 days during 2 confinement periods. Participants will make monthly visits during Days 8-64 and a final visit 30 days later.

Being tested
Amphetamine, TAK -041, [11C] (+)-4-propyl-(+)-4-propyl-9-hydroxynaphthoxazine (PHNO)

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Non-displaceable Binding Potential (BP-ND) in the TAK-041+AMPH Condition Compared to AMPH Alone

    The AMPH-induced change in binding potential relative to the non-displaceable component in the basal ganglia (putamen [Pu], ventral striatum [VSt]) which was the region of interest (ROI) was calculated as the percentage of reduction in specific binding from Baseline to postdose following AMPH.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1 of Confinement Period 1) and Day 2 post-AMPH dose in Confinement Period 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in BP-ND in the TAK-041+AMPH Condition Compared to AMPH Alone as a Function of the Dose of TAK-041 Administered

    The effect of predosing with TAK-041 on the AMPH challenge was calculated as the relative change in the percentage reduction in specific binding in ROI in the AMPH+TAK-041 condition compared to AMPH alone.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1 of Confinement Period 1), and Day 1 post-TAK-041 and AMPH dose in Confinement Period 2

Individual data sharing
Yes: Takeda makes patient-level, de-identified data sets and associated documents available after applicable marketing approvals and commercial availability have been received, an opportunity for the primary publication of the research has been allowed, and other criteria have been met as set forth in Takeda's Data Sharing Policy (see www.TakedaClinicalTrials.com/Approach for details). To obtain access, researchers must submit a legitimate academic research proposal for adjudication by an independent review panel, who will review the scientific merit of the research and the requestor's qualifications and conflict of interest that can result in potential bias. Once approved, qualified researchers who sign a data sharing agreement are provided access to these data in a secure research environment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Amphetamine, TAK -041 and [11C] (+)-4-propyl-(+)-4-propyl-9-hydroxynaphthoxazine (PHNO) in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Neurocrine Biosciences at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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 19 Mar 2021. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Dec 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 in Non-displaceable Binding Potential (BP-ND) in the TAK-041+AMPH Condition Compared to AMPH Alone (time frame: Baseline (Day 1 of Confinement Period 1) and Day 2 post-AMPH dose in Confinement Period 1). 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 19 Mar 2021.
