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 18 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Has OSA diagnosed according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorders-3 (ICSD-3) criteria and an AHI of 12-50 events/hour sleep (documented by an in-clinic PSG or at-home sleep test within the last 12 months). Participants who do not have PSG results from within 12 months available may be offered a screening home sleep test.
  • Those who use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), oral appliance, or hypoglossal nerve stimulator must be willing to forego this therapy during all in-clinic PSGs and during the home sleep test if one is required.
  • Has no known history of a sleep disorder other than OSA based on interviews at the screening visit, such as, for example, restless legs syndrome accompanied by periodic leg movements of sleep.
  • Has a regular bedtime (example, between 8 p.m. - 1 a.m.) and regular time in bed averaging between 6.0 and 10.0 hours/night, as verified by sleep tracking mat and sleep diary data. Sleep durations and bedtimes outside of this range can be discussed for inclusion on a case by case basis with the sponsor.
  • Has a body mass index (BMI) of 18 to 38.5 kilogram per square meter (kg/m^2) inclusive.

Who cannot join

  • Has an occupation requiring nighttime shift work or variable shift work within the past 2 months or has travelled with significant jet lag within 14 days before the study start or plans to travel with significant jet lag during the study.
  • Has nicotine dependence that is likely to have an effect on sleep (example, a participant who routinely awakens at night to smoke) or challenge the conduct of this study (smokes >=10 cigarettes/day), or the participant is unwilling to discontinue all smoking and nicotine use during the confinement periods.
  • Has a caffeine consumption of more than 600 milligram (mg)/day for 7 days before Period 1 Day 1 (1 serving of coffee is approximately equivalent to 120 mg of caffeine; 16 ounces of cola or energy drink contain approximately 39 and 148 mg of caffeine, respectively).

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, 3-Period Crossover Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacodynamic, and Pharmacokinetic Effects of Overnight Intravenous TAK-925 in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

The main aim of the study is to check the side effects from overnight treatment with danavorexton and assess the tolerability of varying doses of danavorexton administered intravenously.

Before starting treatment with danavorexton, participants will keep a sleep diary and use an under-mattress sensor for at least 7 nights to check regular sleep habits.

Read more

There will be 3 Treatment Period up to 14 days apart. In each Treatment Period, participants will receive an intravenous (through the vein) infusion of either danavorexton or a placebo starting in the evening and continuing over a 10-hour period. A placebo looks exactly like danavorexton but does not have any medicine in it.

Participants will take part in a follow-up phone appointment about a week after the last Treatment Period.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called danavorexton. The study will look at the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) effects of danavorexton.

The study will enroll approximately 18 participants (to acquire data in 'n' greater than or equal to [>=] 12). Each participant will receive one of the following treatments in each Treatment Period: Danavorexton low dose (LD), danavorexton high dose (HD), or placebo. All participants will receive all 3 treatments. A washout period of a minimum of 2 days up to 14 days will be maintained between the end of infusion to the start time of next infusion. The order in which each participant receives the 3 treatments will be randomly assigned. Treatment order will remain undisclosed to the participants and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need).

This single-center trial will be conducted in Australia. The overall time to participate in this study is up to 69 days. Participants will be followed remotely until 5 to 9 days after the last dose of study drug in the Treatment Period 3.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With at Least one Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

    Measured: From the first dose of danavorexton in Treatment Period 1 up to approximately 7 days after the last dose of danavorexton in Treatment Period 3 (up to 41 days)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change From Baseline in Upper Airway Collapsibility Index (UACI)

    The UACI is a 10-minute evaluation that tests the key biological mechanism that causes obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

    Measured: Baseline (-15 minutes from the start of infusion [first UACI]), and at 20 minutes (second UACI), and 55 minutes (third UACI) on Day 1 of each Treatment Period

  2. Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) Observed During Overnight Polysomnographys (PSGs)

    PSG analysis will be performed to determine an apnea hypopnea index. AHI score is used to indicate the severity of sleep apnea. The AHI is calculated by dividing the number of apnea events by the number of hours of sleep. An apnea hypopnea index less than five events per hour is considered within normal limits.

    Measured: Day 1 up to Day 2 of each Treatment Period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Danavorexton in people with Sleep Apnea, run by Takeda at 1 site in Australia.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 2 Dec 2022. 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 Australia. 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?

Number of Participants With at Least one Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) (time frame: From the first dose of danavorexton in Treatment Period 1 up to approximately 7 days after the last dose of danavorexton in Treatment Period 3 (up to 41 days)). 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 2 Dec 2022.
