Single and Multiple Dose Study to Explore the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of JNJ-39758979 In Healthy Male Volunteers of Either Caucasian or Japanese Descent

September 5, 2013 updated by: Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C.

A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized, Single Ascending and Multiple Dose Study to Investigate the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of JNJ-39758979 in Healthy Japanese and Caucasian Adult Male Subjects

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (how the drug is absorbed in the body, how it is distributed within the body and it is removed from the body over time) of single doses of JNJ-39758979 in healthy Japanese volunteers and multiple doses of JNJ-39758979 in healthy Japanese and Caucasian 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 study will assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of JNJ-39758979 or placebo (which looks like the drug being studied but has no active ingredients) in healthy volunteers. This study is being conducted in two parts. Part 1 is a randomized (study drug will be assigned by chance), double-blind (neither the physician nor volunteer knows the identity of the assigned drug) study evaluating the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single doses of JNJ-39758979 and placebo in 36 healthy Japanese male volunteers. Part 2 is a randomized, double-blind study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of multiple doses of JNJ-39758979 and placebo in 24 healthy Japanese males and 24 healthy Caucasian males. For Part 1, the participation period is a maximum of 56 days, including a screening visit, a 7-day in-clinic period and two follow-up visits. For Part 2, the participation period is a maximum of 202 days, including a screening visit, a 17-day in-clinic period and two follow-up visits. For both parts of the study, safety evaluations, which will include ECG (a cardiac function test), vital signs and monitoring of side-effects will be performed. Additionally, blood and urine samples will be collected for evaluation. Part 1: volunteers will receive a single oral (by mouth) dose of JNJ-39758979 (50, 100, 300, or 600mg) or placebo; Part 2: volunteers will receive an oral dose of JNJ-39758979 (300 mg) or placebo once a day for 14 days.

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

18 years to 55 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

Male
