Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of multiple doses of itraconazole or gemfibrozil on the pharmacokinetics (the study of the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time) of JNJ-56021927 and its metabolites (JNJ 56142060 and JNJ-56142021) in healthy male participants.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

This is a single-dose, single-center, open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), 3-treatment, randomized (study medication assigned to participants by chance) and parallel-group (a medical research study comparing the response in two or more groups of participants receiving different interventions [treatments]) study. The study consists of Screening Phase (that is, 21 days before study commences on Day 1); open-label treatment Phase and end-of-study or early withdrawal assessment. All participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatments, that is, Treatment A (single dose of JNJ-56021927 on Day 1), Treatment B (200 milligram [mg] itraconazole once daily from Day 1 up to Day 32 along with single dose of JNJ-56021927 on Day 4), and Treatment C (600 mg gemfibrozil twice daily from Day 1 up to Day 32 along with single dose of JNJ-56021927 on Day 4). Blood samples will be collected for evaluation of pharmacokinetics at pre-dose and post-dose of study treatment. The maximum duration of participation in the study per participant will be approximately 78 days (Treatment A) or 81 days (Treatment B and C). Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) [Up to Day 57 or Day 60]

    The Cmax is the maximum observed plasma concentration. Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

  2. Time to Reach Maximum Concentration (tmax) [Up to Day 57 or Day 60]

    The tmax is time to reach the maximum observed plasma concentration. Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

  3. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to 672 Hours (AUC [0-672]) [Up to Day 57 or Day 60]

    The AUC (0-672) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to 672 hours. Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

  4. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Time (AUC [0-last]) [Up to Day 57 or Day 60]

    The AUC (0-last) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time. Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

  5. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC [0-infinity]) [Up to Day 57 or Day 60]

    The AUC (0-infinity) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time, calculated as the sum of AUC(last) and C(last)/lambda(z), wherein AUC(last) is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time; C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration; and lambda(z) is elimination rate constant. Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

  6. Percentage of Extrapolated AUC (0-infinity) [Up to Day 57 or Day 60]

    The percentage of AUC (0-infinity) that is due to extrapolation from Tlast to infinity (AUC%Extrapolation) is calculated by using the formula AUC_%extrapolation = 100*(AUC [0-infinity] minus (AUC [0-last])/(AUC (0-infinity). Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

  7. Elimination Half-Life (t [1/2] Lambda) [Up to Day 57 or Day 60]

    Elimination half-life (t [1/2] Lambda) is associated with the terminal slope (lambda [z]) of the semi logarithmic drug concentration-time curve, calculated as 0.693/lambda(z). Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

  8. Rate Constant (Lambda[z]) [Up to Day 57 or Day 60]

    Lambda(z) is first-order rate constant associated with the terminal portion of the curve, determined as the negative slope of the terminal log-linear phase of the drug concentration-time curve. Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

  9. Time to last quantifiable plasma concentration (tlast) [Up to Day 57 or Day 60]

    The tlast is the time to last observed quantifiable plasma concentration. Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

  10. Total Plasma Clearance (CL/F) of JNJ-56021927 [Up to Day 57 or Day 60]

    Total plasma clearance of drug after extravascular administration, uncorrected for absolute bioavailability, calculated as Dose/AUC (0-infinity) (JNJ-56021927 only). Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

  11. Metabolite to Parent Drug Ratio for maximum observed plasma concentration (MPR Cmax) [Up to Day 57 or Day 60]

    Metabolite to parent drug ratio for maximum observed plasma concentration will be calculated. Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

  12. Metabolite to Parent Drug Ratio for AUC (0 to last) (MPR AUC [0-last]) [Up to Day 57 or Day 60]

    Metabolite to parent drug ratio for AUC (0 to last) will be calculated. Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

  13. Metabolite to Parent Drug Ratio for AUC (0-infinity) (MPR AUC [0-infinity]) [Up to Day 57 or Day 60]

    Metabolite to parent drug ratio for AUC (0-infinity) will be calculated. Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) or Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [Screening up to Day 57 for treatment A or up to Day 60 for treatment B or C or early withdrawal]

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to day 57 for treatment A or up to day 60 for treatment B or C, that are absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state.
