A Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of JNJ-38518168 in Japanese and Caucasian Male Participants and the Effect of JNJ-38518168 on the Blood Levels of Midazolam

March 1, 2013 updated by: Janssen Research & Development, LLC

A Double-Blind, Randomized, Single- and Multiple-Dose Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of JNJ-38518168 in Japanese and Caucasian Healthy Adult Male Subjects and an Open-Label Drug-Drug Interaction Study to Evaluate the Effect of JNJ-38518168 on the Pharmacokinetics of Midazolam, a CYP3A4 Substrate

The purpose of Part 1 of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics ("PK", how the drug is absorbed in the body, distributed within the body, and how it is removed from the body over time) of JNJ-38518168 in comparison with placebo following single dose and 14 days of consecutive dosing in healthy Japanese and Caucasian adult male participants. Part 2 of this study will evaluate the effect of JNJ-38518168 on the pharmacokinetics of midazolam in healthy participants.

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

Participants will be assigned to either Part 1 or Part 2 of this study. Part 1 will be a single-center, double-blind (participants and study personnel will not know the identity of the treatments), randomized (treatment will be assigned by chance), single- and multiple-dose study. There will be 3 groups in Part 1, and the dosing will be as follows: Group A will receive a single oral dose of 30 mg JNJ-38518168 (given as three 10-mg tablets of JNJ-38518168) or placebo (a treatment identical in appearance to JNJ-38518168 but not containing active drug) (Period 1), and multiple oral doses of 30 mg JNJ 38518168 (given as three 10-mg tablets of JNJ-38518168) or matching placebo once daily for 14 consecutive days (Period 2); Group B will receive a single oral dose of 10 mg JNJ-38518168 or placebo (Period 1), and multiple oral doses of 10 mg JNJ-38518168 or placebo once daily for 14 consecutive days (Period 2); and Group C will receive a single oral dose of 3 mg JNJ-38518168 or placebo (Period 1), and multiple oral doses of 3 mg JNJ-38518168 or placebo once daily for 14 consecutive days (Period 2). At least a 20-day washout period will separate the dose administration in Period 1 and the first dose administration of Period 2. The duration of Part 1 will be approximately 78 days. Part 2 of this study will be a single-center, open-label (participants and study personnel will know the identity of the treatments), non-randomized, multiple dose, drug-drug interaction study. Eligible participants will receive a single oral dose of 2.5 mg of midazolam as oral solution on Day 1, three 10-mg tablets of JNJ-38518168 (30 mg) once daily for 14 consecutive days (Day 2 through Day 15); and another single oral dose of 2.5 mg midazolam on Day 15. The duration of Part 2 of the study will be approximately 42 days. Following an interim safety and PK data analysis, one additional treatment group may be studied to evaluate the effect of JNJ-38518168 at a dose lower than 30 mg once daily on the PK of midazolam. During Parts 1 or 2, participants may be admitted to the clinical unit for periods of up to 7 and 18 days, and follow-up return visits to the clinic will also be required.

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.

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

  • Male, 20 to 55 years of age.
  • Be either:
  • Of Japanese descent who has resided outside of Japan for no more than 5 years and whose parents and maternal and paternal grandparents are Japanese, as determined by participant's verbal report. Japanese participants must have a valid Japanese passport.

or

  • A non-Hispanic Caucasian participant who has Caucasian parents as determined by participant's verbal report.
  • Have a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 kg/m2 to 25 kg/m2 for participants of Japanese descent and between 18.5 kg/m2 and 30 kg/m2 for Caucasian participants.

  • Be otherwise healthy with no clinically significant abnormalities as determined by medical history, physical examination, blood chemistry assessments, hematologic assessments, coagulation and urinalysis, measurement of vital signs, and ECG. If the results of the serum chemistry panel, hematology, or urinalysis are outside the normal reference ranges, the participant may be included only if the investigator judge the abnormalities or deviations from normal to be not clinically significant.

  • History of hypersensitivity to or intolerance of midazolam (Part 2 only)
  • Clinically significant abnormal values for hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis at screening or admission to the study center in Period 1 as deemed appropriate by the investigator.
