About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study of TAK-925 to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of a Single Dose of TAK-925 in Healthy Adult and Elderly Volunteers and Patients With Narcolepsy

The purpose of this study is to investigate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of TAK-925 when a single dose of TAK-925 is administered to healthy adult participants, healthy elderly participants and patients with type 1 narcolepsy.

Read the detailed description

Orexins are neuropeptides that play a role in the regulation of sleep and wakefulness. In type 1 narcolepsy, there is a loss of orexin producing neurons in the brain. The investigational drug, TAK-925, is an orexin 2 receptor agonist that is being tested in healthy adult participants, healthy elderly participants and patients with narcolepsy in order to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single intravenous administration.

The study will enroll approximately 20 healthy participants and 16 healthy elderly participants in Part 1 of the study and approximately 20 patients with narcolepsy in Part 2.

In Part 1, the study consists of 4 cohorts of 8 or 4 participants each. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the following treatment groups to receive TAK-925 or placebo:

  • Part 1, Cohort 1; TAK-925 (Dose Level 1, 3, 5), Cohort 2; TAK-925 (Dose Level 2, 4, 6), Cohort 3 and 4; TAK-925 (Dose Level 5)

For Cohort 1-4, healthy adult and elderly participants will be administered TAK-925 or placebo once in each cohort or dose level. The dose at the start (Cohort 1 dose level 1) is 7 mg of TAK-925 and following doses in Cohorts 1-4 will be determined based on available data from previous Cohorts/dose levels.

In Part 2 of the study, the study consists of 3 cohorts of 4 to 12 patients with narcolepsy. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the treatment groups of Cohort 5-7 and will be administered TAK-925 or placebo once in each cohort. The dose of TAK-925 in Cohort 5-7 is TBD and will be decided based on available data from Part 1 and previous Cohorts.

  • Part 2, Cohort 5-7

This multi-center trial will be conducted in Japan. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic. Visits in Part 1 will include a screening period (Day -28 to -2), Check-in on Day -1, Treatment period (Day 1 and 2), and follow-up visit on Day 7. In Part 2 of the study, the visits include a screening period (Day -42 to -2), Check-in on Day -1, Cross-over period (Day 1 to 4), and follow-up visit on Day 7.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Part 2: Average Sleep Latency in Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT)

    The MWT is a validated objective measure that evaluates a person's ability to remain awake under soporific conditions for a defined period of time. This tendency to fall asleep is measured via electroencephalography-derived sleep latency. Sleep onset is defined as the first epoch of greater than 15 seconds of cumulative sleep in a 30-second epoch. Trials were ended after 40 minutes if no sleep occurs, or after unequivocal sleep, defined as 3 consecutive epochs of stage 1 sleep, or 1 epoch of any other stage of sleep. If no sleep has been observed according to these rules, then the latency is defined as 40 minutes. MWT sleep latency ranges from 0 to 40 minutes, with higher scores indicating greater ability to stay awake.

    Measured: Days 1 and 3 up to 8 hours following the start of infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TAK-925 in people with Healthy Participants and Patients With Narcolepsy, run by Takeda at 3 sites in Japan.

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 8 inclusion and 9 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 30 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 3 sites in Japan. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Nov 2020). 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?

Number of Participants Reporting One or More Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: Baseline up to Day 7). The study lists 27 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 30 Mar 2021.
