September 3, 2013 updated by: Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C.

Sitagliptin Combo Study

This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (explores what the body does to the drug), and pharmacodynamics (explores what a drug does to the body) of single doses of JNJ-38431055, sitagliptin, and co-administration of JNJ-38431055 and sitagliptin in healthy overweight or obese adult male volunteers.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a double-blind (neither physician or volunteer knows the name of the assigned study drug), placebo controlled (substance containing no medication), study in healthy, overweight or obese adult male volunteers. For each volunteer, the study consists of a screening phase (up to 30 days), a treatment phase during which volunteers will receive 4 study treatments in a randomized (study sequence assigned by chance) sequence (28 days), and a follow-up phase (10 days). During the treatment phase there will be at least 7 days between each of the 4 treatments. The four treatments will be JNJ-38431055, sitagliptin, JNJ-38431055 and sitagliptin, and placebo. The following safety evaluations will be taken throughout the study: Electrocardiogram (an ECG is a painless procedure that gives a picture of the electrical activity of the heart), blood pressure, heart rate, and blood samples for laboratory tests. The primary outcome will be the effect of JNJ-38431055 and sitagliptin on glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) levels. Study drug will be administered as single oral doses separated by at least 7 days. The four treatments will be JNJ-38431055, sitagliptin, JNJ-38431055 and sitagliptin, and placebo.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

19 years to 55 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

Male

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Body Mass Index (BMI) between 27.0 and 38.0 kg/m2 (inclusive)
  • Healthy on the basis of physical examination including medical history, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, and all other screening lab tests
  • Men must agree to use a double barrier method of birth control (e.g., condom for them and use of spermicide with diaphragm, hormonal contraceptives or intrauterine devices by female partner) during the study and for three months following the last dose of study medication, and to not donate sperm during the study and for 3 months after receiving the last dose of study medication

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of, or currently active, illness or medical condition or disorder that the Investigator considers to be clinically significant
  • Smoker or tobacco user within the past 6 months
  • History of recent major surgery (within 6 months of study start)
  • Positive test for alcohol and/or drugs of abuse
  • Psychological and/or emotional problems, which would render the informed consent invalid, or limit the ability of the volunteer to comply with the study requirements
  • Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the well being of the volunteer or the study or prevent the volunteer from meeting or performing study requirements

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
GLP-1 levels after a standard meal
Time Frame: 0-4 hours after the standard meal
0-4 hours after the standard meal

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
