  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Participant must have a body weight in the range of 45 to 110 kilogram (kg) inclusive and have a body mass index (BMI) of 18 to 35 kilogram per meter square (kg/m^2) inclusive
  • Have had moderate to severe CD or fistulizing CD of at least 3 months duration, with colitis, ileitis, or ileocolitis, confirmed at any time in the past by histology, and/or endoscopy

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. CD and UC Participants: Time to Reach the Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Cytochrome P450 Probe Substrates (Midazolam, Omeprazole, Dextromethorphan, S-warfarin and Caffeine)

    Tmax is defined as time to reach the maximum observed plasma concentration of Cytochrome P450 Probe Substrates.

    Measured: Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 (only for dextromethorphan and S-warfarin), 72 (only for S-warfarin) and 96 hours (only for S-warfarin) on Days 1, 22, and 113 postdose administration of cytochrome P450 probe substrates

  2. CD and UC Participants: Terminal Half-Life (T1/2) of Cytochrome P450 Probe Substrates (Midazolam, Omeprazole, Dextromethorphan, S-warfarin and Caffeine)

    T1/2 is defined as the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by 1 half to its original concentration. It is associated with the terminal slope of the semi logarithmic drug concentration-time curve, and is calculated as 0.693/lambda(z).

    Measured: Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 (only for dextromethorphan and S-warfarin), 72 (only for S-warfarin) and 96 hours (only for S-warfarin) on Days 1, 22, and 113 postdose administration of cytochrome P450 probe substrates

    CL/F after extravascular administration is defined as the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.

    Measured: Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 (only for dextromethorphan and S-warfarin), 72 (only for S-warfarin) and 96 hours (only for S-warfarin) on Days 1, 22, and 113 postdose administration of cytochrome P450 probe substrates

  4. CD and UC Participants: Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F) of Cytochrome P450 Probe Substrates (Midazolam, Omeprazole, Dextromethorphan, S-warfarin and Caffeine)

    Vz/F based on terminal phase after extravascular administration is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired serum concentration of a drug. Apparent volume of distribution after subcutaneous dose (Vz/F) is influenced by the fraction absorbed.

    Measured: Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 (only for dextromethorphan and S-warfarin), 72 (only for S-warfarin) and 96 hours (only for S-warfarin) on Days 1, 22, and 113 postdose administration of cytochrome P450 probe substrates

  5. CD and UC Participants: Twelve Hour Urine Dextromethorphan to Dextrorphan Ratio

    Urine samples will be analyzed to determine 12 hour urine dextromethorphan to dextrorphan ratio.

    Measured: Pre-dose and for 12 hours after probe cocktail administration on Day 1, 22 and 113

  6. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. TEAEs were events between administration of study drug and up to Day 176 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state.

    Measured: Up to Day 176

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ustekinumab IV Infusion, Ustekinumab SC Injection and Midazolam 2 mg in people with Crohn Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 16 sites in 4 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 6 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 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 Germany, Belgium, United States, 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: The study was stopped as all post-marketing commitments had been fulfilled or released). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

For Crohn's disease (CD) or Ulcerative Colitis (UC) Participants: Geometric Mean Ratio (Day 22/ Day 1) of the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Cytochrome P450 Probe Substrates (Midazolam, Omeprazole, Dextromethorphan, S-warfarin and Caffeine) (time frame: Day 1 and 22: Predose, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours post dose). The study lists 10 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 21 Aug 2025.
