A Study to Assess the Absolute Bioavailability and Pharmacokinetics of Simeprevir (TMC435) Administered as Single Oral Doses of TMC435 and an Intravenous Microdose of [3H]-TMC435 in Healthy Male Patients

March 27, 2014 updated by: Janssen R&D Ireland

A Phase I, Open-Label, Sequential, Single-Dose Study to Assess the Absolute Bioavailability and Pharmacokinetics of TMC435 Administered as Single Oral Doses of 50 mg and 150 mg and an Intravenous Microdose of 100 μg [3H]-TMC435 in Healthy Male Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the absolute bioavailability and pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the medication) of simeprevir (TMC435) after administration of single oral doses of 50 mg and 150 mg when administered together with a single intravenous (IV) dose of 100 microgram [3H]-TMC435 in healthy male participants.

Detailed Description

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), sequential (a single group of participants where study medication is administered in a sequence), single-dose study to assess the absolute bioavailability and pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the medication) of single oral doses of 50 mg and 150 mg simeprevir (TMC435) administered together with an intravenous (IV) microdose of 100 microgram [3H]-TMC435 in healthy male participants. The study consists of 3 phases, screening phase (21 days prior to administration of study medication), treatment phase, and a follow up phase. In the treatment phase, participants will receive 2 treatments, ie, Treatment A: single oral dose of simeprevir (TMC435) 50 mg followed 5 hours later by a single 10 minute IV infusion of [3H]-TMC435 (100 microcurie) 100 microgram; and Treatment B: single oral dose of simeprevir (TMC435) 150 mg followed 5 hours later by a single 10 minute IV infusion of [3H]-TMC435 (100 microcurie) 100 microgram. Treatments will be administered in two consecutive treatment periods, first Treatment A in Period 1, followed by Treatment B in Period 2; separated by a washout period (period when the participant is not receiving any study medication) of 7 to 14 days. The follow up will be for 5 to 7 days after end of Period 2. Blood samples will be collected for full plasma pharmacokinetics evaluations; along with urine and stool samples for analysis of total plasma radioactivity. Safety evaluations for adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, vital signs, physical examination, liver volume determination, and specific toxicities will be monitored throughout the study. The total duration of the study will be approximately 42 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.
