Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 50 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Female volunteers must be postmenopausal (for at least 12 months)
  • Body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 29.9 kg/m2, inclusive
  • Healthy on the basis of physical examination, neurological examination, medical history, vital signs, and 12-lead ECG [including QTcB interval duration <450 msec] performed at screening. Minor deviations in ECG, which are not considered to be of clinical significance to the investigator, are acceptable
  • 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 volunteer may be included only if the investigator judges the abnormalities or deviations from normal to be not clinically significant

Who cannot join

  • History of liver or renal insufficiency
  • significant cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurologic, hematologic, rheumatologic, psychiatric, or metabolic disturbances
  • Relevant history of or current neurological disease including any history of post dural puncture headache, lower back pain or scoliosis and/or major (lumbar) back surgery, spontaneous, prolonged or severe bleeding with unclear origin, epilepsy or fits or unexplained black-outs
  • History or family history of abnormal bleeding or of blood clotting or anemia

About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single Dose, Pharmacokinetic Study to Characterize the Central Brain Penetrance of JNJ-39393406 Using Cerebrospinal Fluid in Healthy Male and Female Subjects

The purpose of this study is to investigate the concentration of JNJ-39393406 achieved in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid of healthy adult volunteers following administration of a single dose of JNJ-39393406.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-centre, double-blind (neither physician nor patient knows the name of the assigned treatment), single dose study of JNJ-39393406 or placebo (a treatment identical in appearance to JNJ-39393406 but does not contain active drug) in healthy adult volunteers. The study consists of an eligibility screening examination (between 21 and 2 days prior to dose administration), a double-blind treatment period, and a follow-up examination (minimally 7 and maximally 14 days after the dose administration). For each volunteer, the maximal study duration will not exceed 6 weeks. JNJ-39393406 or placebo will be administered as a single 200-mg dose on Day 1 as a liquid nanosuspension (a formulation used to improve the solubility of the drug) with 240 mL (approximately 8 ounces or 1 cup) noncarbonated water between 8:00 AM and 10:30 AM after a standard breakfast has been consumed (following a fast [not eating food] of at least 10 hours). Volunteers will then fast until approximately 4 hours after taking JNJ-3939406 or placebo after which lunch will be served.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing JNJ-39393406 in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Plasma concentration of JNJ39393406 (time frame: At 0:30, 1, 1:30, 2, 2:30, 3, 3:30, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours post dose). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jul 2013.
