What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax)

    The Cmax is the maximum observed serum concentration.

    Measured: Predose (Day 1), 1, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours postdose (Day 7); Days 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, and 85

  2. Area Under the Serum Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC [0-infinity])

    AUC (0-infinity) is the area under the serum concentration versus time curve from time zero to infinity with extrapolation of the terminal phase.

    Measured: Predose (Day 1), 1, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours postdose (Day 7); Days 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, and 85

  3. Area Under Serum Concentration From Time Zero to the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC [0-last])

    AUC (0-last) area under the serum concentration versus time curve from time zero to the time corresponding to the last quantifiable concentration.

    Measured: Predose (Day 1), 1, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours postdose (Day 7); Days 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, and 85

  4. Elimination Half-Life (T1/2)

    Elimination half-life is time measured for the serum concentration to decrease by 1 half to its original concentration. It is associated with the terminal slope of the semi logarithmic drug concentration-time curve, and is calculated as 0.693/lambda(z).

    Measured: Predose (Day 1), 1, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours postdose (Day 7); Days 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, and 85

  5. Total Systemic Clearance (CL)

    CL is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the body. The total systemic clearance after intravenous dose is estimated by dividing the total administered dose by the serum area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time (AUC [0-infinity]).

    Measured: Predose (Day 1), 1, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours postdose (Day 7); Days 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, and 85

  6. Volume of Distribution (Vz)

    The Vz is total volume of distribution at terminal phase after intravenous (IV) administration, defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired blood concentration of a drug.

    Measured: Predose (Day 1), 1, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours postdose (Day 7); Days 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, and 85

  7. Time to Reach Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Tmax)

    Tmax is time correspondent to the maximum observed serum concentration.

    Measured: Predose (Day 1), 1, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours postdose (Day 7); Days 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, and 85

  8. Apparent Total Systemic Clearance (CL/F)

    Apparent total systemic clearance is clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.

    Measured: Predose (Day 1), 1, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours postdose (Day 7); Days 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, and 85

  9. Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F)

    Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired serum concentration of a drug. Apparent volume of distribution after subcutaneous dose (Vz/F) is influenced by the fraction absorbed.

    Measured: Predose (Day 1), 1, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours postdose (Day 7); Days 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, and 85

  10. Absolute Bioavailability (F [%])

    Absolute bioavailability is the percentage of the orally administered dose that is systemically available. It is calculated as (AUC [0-infinity] for test)/(AUC [0-infinity] for reference [ref])*(D for ref/D for test)*100, where the reference treatment is an intravenous administration, AUC (0-infinity) is area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to extrapolated infinite time, and D is the dose of administered drug.

    Measured: Predose (Day 1), 1, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours postdose (Day 7); Days 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, and 85

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    An AE is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product.

    Measured: Up to Week 16

  2. Number of Participants with Anti-Guselkumab and Anti-Ustekinumab Antibodies

    Participant's serum samples will be collected and screened for antibodies binding to guselkumab and ustekinumab using validated electrochemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer (ECLIA) method for evaluation of potential immunogenicity.

    Measured: Predose (Day 1) and on Days 15, 29, 57, and 85

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Guselkumab (SC): Dose 1, Guselkumab (SC): Dose 2 and Guselkumab (IV): Dose 1 in people with Healthy, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 3 Feb 2025. 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 China. 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. 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?

Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) (time frame: Predose (Day 1), 1, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 hours postdose (Day 7); Days 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, and 85). The study lists 10 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 3 Feb 2025.
