A Study of TAK-951 in Healthy Adults

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, Three-part Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of TAK-951 in Healthy Subjects

This is a study of TAK-951 for people with symptoms of nausea and vomiting. The main aims of this study in healthy adults are as follows:

• To check for side effects from TAK-951 when given at a slow and fast infusion rate.
• To learn how much TAK-951 participants can receive without getting side effects from it.
• To check how much TAK-951 stays in the blood over time to work out the best dose.

Participants will receive a single infusion of either TAK-951 or placebo. In this study, a placebo looks like TAK-951 but does not have any medicine in it. Participants will receive either a low dose or high dose of TAK-951. The infusion will take from 1-3 hours.

Participants will stay in the study clinic for about 4 days to receive the study medicine (TAK-951 or placebo) and check for side effects. They will have follow-up visits at the clinic about 2 weeks and 4 weeks after treatment.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy Volunteers
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: TAK-951 Placebo; Drug: TAK-951

Detailed Description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-951. The study evaluated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of TAK-951 in healthy participants.

The study enrolled 128 healthy participants and consisted of 2 parts: Single-rising Dose (SRD) part (13 cohorts) of sequential panel design, and Multiple-rising Dose (MRD) part (5 cohorts) of sequential panel design. Participants in each cohort were randomized to receive treatment with TAK-951 or matching placebo using SC injection, once daily on Day 1 (for SRD part) and twice daily (BID) on Days 1 through 5 (for MRD part) following a minimum fast of 8 hours.

This single center trial was conducted in the United States. The overall time to participate in this study was approximately 155 days.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Parts 1 and 3: Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events	An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (example, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A TEAE was defined as an adverse event which occurred on or after the first dose of study drug and no more than 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
