A Study to Assess Effect of JNJ-54861911 on Pharmacokinetics of Cocktail Representatives for Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, and CYP1A2 Substrates

An Open-Label, Fixed-Sequence Study in Healthy Male Subjects to Assess the Drug Interaction Potential of Multiple-Doses of JNJ-54861911 With a Drug "Cocktail" Representative for CYP3A4, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, and CYP1A2 Substrates

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of single and multiple once daily doses of 50 milligram (mg) of JNJ-54861911 on pharmacokinetics (PK) (study of the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time) of caffeine, midazolam, and tolbutamide in healthy male participants.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: JNJ-54861911; Drug: Caffeine; Drug: Midazolam; Drug: Tolbutamide

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. 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 9), and Follow-up Phase (7 to 14 days after discharge from the study unit on Day 10 or at early withdrawal). The maximum duration of study will be 7 weeks per participant. During the Open-Label Treatment Phase, participants will receive JNJ-54861911, 50 mg (2*25 mg tablets) orally once daily from Day 2 to Day 9 along with caffeine 100 mg (2*50 mg tablets), midazolam 2 mg (1 milliliter [mL], 2 mg/mL solution), and tolbutamide 500 mg tablet, orally on Day 1, 2, and 9. Blood samples will be collected pre-dose (Day 1) up to Day 10 to understand the PK characteristics of midazolam, 1-hydroxy midazolam (midazolam metabolite), caffeine, paraxanthine (caffeine metabolite), tolbutamide, 4-hydroxytolbutamide and carboxytolbutamide (tolbutamide metabolites). In addition, a blood sample will be collected on Day -1 from all enrolled participants to study genetic factors that may influence the PK, safety, and/or tolerability of JNJ-54861911 and co-medications. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.
