A Multiple Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of JNJ-39439335 in Patients With Osteoarthritis

August 8, 2012 updated by: Janssen Research & Development, LLC

A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-and Active-Controlled, Multiple Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of JNJ-39439335 in Subjects With Osteoarthritis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of multiple oral doses of JNJ-39439335 and to assess how JNJ-39439335 is absorbed (taken in), distributed, metabolized (broken down), and eliminated from the body (referred to as pharmacokinetics) in osteoarthritis patients. This study will also assess the effectiveness of JNJ-39439335 on pain.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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 will be a double-blind (patient and study staff will not know the identity of assigned treatment), randomized (assignment to 1 to 3 treatment groups will be by chance, like "flipping a coin"), placebo-controlled, multiple dose study conducted at up to two clinical sites. Up to 42 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee will be enrolled in 3 cohorts (Cohort 1 to 3). Additional cohorts (up to 14 patients per cohort) may be added after completion of Cohort 3. The study consists of eligibility screening, a treatment phase, and 4 follow-up visits. The study duration for each patient will be approximately 10 weeks. Patients safety will be closely monitored during the study by review of adverse events, electrocardiograms, vital signs (including oral temperature), clinical laboratory tests, and physical examinations. During specified study visits, blood samples will be collected for pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics (inpatient patients), and pharmacogenomic (optional) evaluations of JNJ-39439335. The effectiveness of JNJ-39439335 will be evaluated by assessing pain using an 11-point numerical rating scale and by the Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index. In Cohort 1 and 2, all patients will take their study medication orally, twice a day for 21 days. The treatment groups for Cohort 1 are JNJ-39439335 10 mg, naproxen 500 mg every 12 hours, and placebo. The treatment groups for Cohort 2 are JNJ-39439335 25 mg, naproxen 500 mg every 12 hours, and placebo. The treatment groups for Cohort 3 will be determined based on the results of Cohort 1 and 2.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
43

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 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • body mass index (BMI) <= 36 kg/m2
  • Meet American College of Rheumatology (ACR) clinical classification criteria for osteoarthritis of knee by meeting at least 3 of the following: age > 50, morning stiffness < 30 minutes, crepitus on active motion, bony tenderness, bony enlargement, no palpable warmth of synovium
  • Has Functional Class I-III osteoarthritis (OA) of knee with continuing OA-knee joint pain >= 5 days/week x 3 months prior to screening, and has been taking a non-opioid analgesic for OA knee pain daily for >=5 days prior to screening with benefit
  • Otherwise healthy based on physical exam, medical history, vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), can clinical laboratory tests
  • Women must be postmenopausal or surgically sterile.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Oral temperature >37.5 deg C at Screening or Day -1
  • Failure of burn prevention measures quiz at Screening
  • patients with occupations or hobbies in which they are routinely exposed to situations in which they could sustain burns
  • orthopedic and/or prosthetic device on target knee joint
  • Significant pain outside the target knee, including significant hip or back pain (bilateral knee OA is permitted)
