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 randomized, placebo-and comparator-controlled, double-blind, multiple dose study with JNJ-54175446 in healthy male participants. The study will consist of a Screening examination (28 to 6 days prior to dose administration), a baseline 20 mg amphetamine (AMPH) challenge at least 5 days before first dose administration, a double-blind treatment period (18 days; 11 days of dosing with JNJ-54175446, minocycline or placebo; amphetamine (AMPH)/AMPH placebo challenge sequence on Day 7 and Day 10 for each participant), and a follow-up examination between 14 and 21 days after last dose administration. The maximal study duration for each participant will not exceed 9 weeks. Safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of JNJ-54175446 will be primarily assessed. Safety will be monitored throughout the study.

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

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participant must have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 32 kilogram/meter^2 (kg/m^2), inclusive (BMI = weight/height^2)
  • Participants must be healthy on the basis of physical examination, medical history, vital signs, and 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) [including QTcF less than or equal to 450 millisecond (ms) (triplicate ECG)] performed at screening and admission to the clinical unit. Minor abnormalities in ECG, which are not considered to be of clinical significance by the investigator, are acceptable. The presence of Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB), atrioventricular (AV) Block (second degree or higher), or a permanent pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator [ICD] will lead to exclusion
  • Participants must be healthy on the basis of clinical laboratory tests performed at screening. If the results of the serum chemistry panel [including liver enzymes], hematology, or urinalysis are outside the normal reference ranges, the subject may be included only if the investigator judges the abnormalities to be not clinically significant. This determination must be recorded in the subject's source documents and initialed by the investigator
  • A man who is sexually active with a woman of childbearing potential and has not had a vasectomy must agree to use a barrier method of birth control e.g., either condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository or partner with occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository, and all men must also not donate sperm during the study and for 3 months after receiving the last dose of study drug. In addition, their female partner should also use an appropriate method of birth control for at least the same duration

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participant has a history of or current liver or renal insufficiency; significant cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurologic, hematologic, rheumatologic, psychiatric, or metabolic disturbances, any inflammatory illness or any other illness that the Investigator considers should exclude the subject
  • Participant has a clinically significant (history of) psychiatric illnesses or (history of) psychotic symptoms
  • Participant has a family history of relevant psychiatric disorders (first degree) and/or psychotic disorders (first and second degree)
  • Participant has a history of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV) positive, or other clinically active liver disease, or tests positive for HBsAg or anti-HCV at Screening
  • Participant has a history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody positive, or tests positive for HIV at Screening

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants with Adverse Events
Time Frame: Baseline up to 14 or 21 days after study drug administration
An adverse event is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product.
Baseline up to 14 or 21 days after study drug administration
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)
Time Frame: Baseline up to Day 17
The Cmax is the maximum observed concentration.
Baseline up to Day 17
Minimum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmin)
Time Frame: Baseline up to Day 17
The Cmin is the minimum observed plasma concentration.
Baseline up to Day 17
Trough Plasma Concentration (Ctrough)
Time Frame: Baseline up to Day 17
The (Ctrough) is the plasma concentration before dosing or at the end of the dosing interval of any dose other than the first dose in a multiple dosing regimen.
Baseline up to Day 17
Average Plasma Concentration at Steady State (Cavg,ss)
Time Frame: Baseline up to Day 17
The Cavg,ss is calculated as area under the plasma concentration-time curve during a dosing Interval (AUC[tau]) divided by the dosing interval (tau).
Baseline up to Day 17
Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax)
Time Frame: Baseline up to Day 17
The Tmax is defined as actual sampling time to reach maximum observed analyte concentration.
Baseline up to Day 17
Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to End of Dosing Interval (AUCtau)
Time Frame: Baseline up to Day 17
The AUCtau is the measure of the plasma drug concentration from time zero to end of dosing interval. It is used to characterize drug absorption.
Baseline up to Day 17
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Time 't' (AUC[0-t])
Time Frame: Baseline up to Day 17
The AUC(0-t) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to any time 't'.
Baseline up to Day 17
Elimination Half-Life (t1/2)
Time Frame: Baseline up to Day 17
The elimination half-life (t1/2) is the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by 1 half to its original concentration. It is associated with the terminal slope of the semi logarithmic drug concentration-time curve, and is calculated as 0.693/lambda(z).
Baseline up to Day 17
