Trial summary

The study investigates how safe ASP3652 is and how well it is tolerated when taken as multiple doses. The study also assesses how quickly and to what extent it is absorbed and eliminated from the body. In addition, the effects of age and gender are investigated. The study consists of two parts.

About this study

Official title: A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Ascending Multiple Oral Doses of ASP3652 in Healthy Young and Elderly Male and Female Subjects

The study investigates how safe ASP3652 is and how well it is tolerated when taken as multiple doses. The study also assesses how quickly and to what extent it is absorbed and eliminated from the body. In addition, the effects of age and gender are investigated.

The study consists of two parts. In Part 1 four dose levels are administered to four separate groups initially. Two additional dosages are then investigated. Subjects receive either a once-daily dose (QD) or twice-daily dose (BID) of ASP3652 or placebo.

Part 2 is performed in one group of elderly healthy male or female (post-menopausal) subjects. Subjects receive either a twice daily dose (BID) of ASP3652 or placebo.

For both parts of the study, the subjects stay in the clinic for one period of 18 days.

Read the detailed description

This is a Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) study with two parts. Screening for both parts takes place between Days -28 and -3. Subjects are admitted to the clinic on Day -2, and discharged on Day 16. They return for an End of Study Visit (ESV) between 7 and 14 days after (early) discharge.

Part 1 evaluates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ASP3652 following ascending multiple oral doses. The initially planned four dose levels or matching placebo are given to four separate groups. Thereafter two additional dosage levels are further investigated. All groups receive a single dose of ASP3652 administered in the morning of Day 1 and Day 14, and twice-daily doses administered from Day 2 to Day 13 under fasted conditions, except the last group which receives all dosages once daily from Day 1 to Day 14.

Part 2 evaluates the safety, tolerability, PK and PD of ASP3652 following ascending multiple oral doses in healthy elderly male and female subjects. This part contains a single, placebo-controlled group. All subjects receive twice daily doses and administration is based on the results of Part 1.

All subjects in both parts receive training for Neurocognitive Test Battery (NTB) and tests for monitoring of psychotropic effects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ASP3652 in people with Healthy Subjects and Pharmacokinetics of ASP3652, run by Astellas Pharma Europe B.V. at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 18 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Nature, frequency and severity of adverse events (time frame: Screening to 14 days after discharge). The study lists 37 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 18 Sep 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
