A Study to Assess Effects of Clarithromycin on Pharmacokinetics of JNJ-54861911 in Healthy Male Participants

An Open-Label, Fixed-Sequence Study to Assess Effects of Clarithromycin on the Single-Dose Pharmacokinetics of JNJ-54861911 in Healthy Male Subjects

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibitors (Itraconazole and Clarithromycin), on pharmacokinetics (PK) (study of the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time) of single dose of JNJ-54861911 in healthy male participants.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: JNJ-54861911, 25 mg; Drug: Itraconazole 200 mg; Drug: Clarithromycin 500 mg

Detailed Description

This is a single-center, open-label (participants and researchers are aware about the treatment, participants are receiving), fixed-sequence study in healthy male participants consisting of 2 sequential parts. For all participants enrolled in either part, the study consists of 3 phases: Screening Phase (within 21 to 2 days prior to the first dose administration on Day 1), Open-label Treatment Phase (Day 1 up to Day 12), and Follow-up Phase (7 to 14 days after last dose administration). The maximum duration of study will be 7 weeks per participant. Study will be conducted in 2 parts to understand the relative role of CYP3A4 and amide hydrolysis pathways in JNJ-54861911 metabolism and any potential drug-drug interaction liability with inhibitors of these pathways. Itraconazole will be administered in Part 1 as mixed CYP3A4 and potential amide hydrolysis inhibitor. Clarithromycin will be administered in Part 2 as a pure CYP3A4 inhibitor. However, Part 2 of the study will only be conducted if a relevant interaction is observed with itraconazole based on an interim review of Part 1 data. Participants enrolled in Part 1 will receive single dose of JNJ-54861911, 25 milligram (mg) tablet orally on Day 1 and Day 9 along with itraconazole 200 mg (2*100 mg capsule) orally once daily from Day 5 to Day 12. Participants enrolled in Part 2 will receive single dose of JNJ-54861911, 25 mg tablet orally on Day 1 and Day 9 along with clarithromycin 500 mg immediate release tablet orally twice daily from Day 5 to Day 12. Blood samples will be collected pre-dose (Day 1) up to Day 13 to understand the PK characteristics of JNJ-54861911 and diaminothiazine (DIAT, a metabolite formed after amide hydrolysis of JNJ-54861911). In addition, a blood sample will be collected on Day -1 from all enrolled participants to study genotyping of CYP3A4 gene and other genetic factors that may influence the PK, safety, and/or tolerability of JNJ-54861911 and CYP3A4 inhibitors. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.
