Trial summary

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP). DNP is pain due to damage to the nerves in the extremities that can occur in patients with diabetes as a result of blood sugar levels being too high for too long. BAY2395840 works by blocking specific receptors. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Single-blind, Dose Escalation Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of BAY 2395840 After Single and Multiple Dose in Japanese Healthy Male Participants

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP).

DNP is pain due to damage to the nerves in the extremities that can occur in patients with diabetes as a result of blood sugar levels being too high for too long.

BAY2395840 works by blocking specific receptors. A receptor is a protein inside or on the surface of a cell that binds to a specific substance and causes a specific effect in the cell. BAY2395840 specifically blocks so-called bradykinin B1 receptor, whose activation is involved in inflammatory responses. This blockage may help to relieve pain and inflammation.

BAY2395840 has already been studied in clinical studies with European people. However, data for Japanese people are still missing. The participants of this study do not benefit from this study. However, the study will provide information on how to use BAY2395840 in later studies with Japanese people.

The main purpose of this study is to learn how safe the study drug BAY2395840 is and how it affects the body if given in single and in repetitive doses to Japanese healthy male participants.

To answer this question, the researchers will collect and analyze the medical problems the participants have after taking BAY2395840 and that may or may not be related to the study treatments. These medical problems are also known as "adverse events".

In addition, the study team will learn how BAY2395840 moves into, through and out of the body if given in single and in repetitive doses to Japanese healthy male participants. For this, the researchers will collect data on:

  • the (average) highest level of BAY2395840 in the blood (also referred to as Cmax)
  • the (average) total level of BAY2395840 in the blood (also referred to as AUC) during the treatment period with the study drug on day 1 and for the repetitive dose group only (see below), on day 7.

Subsequently, the study team will compare the data between those participants who received the study drug BAY2395840 (from different dosing groups) and those participants who received placebo. A placebo is a treatment that looks like a medicine but does not have any medicine in it.

All study participants will be randomly (by chance) assigned to 1 of 5 treatment groups. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take:

  • a single dose of the lowest, middle and highest BAY2395840 dose (treatment groups 1 to 3)
  • repetitive doses of the highest BAY2395840 dose (treatment group 4) or
  • placebo (treatment group 5).

The participants will take their treatments as dosage form 1 after diet 1. The treatment period with repetitive doses of BAY2395840 will be 7 subsequent days.

The participants from treatment groups 1 to 3 will have an in house-period of 8 days including 7 overnight stays. The participants from treatment group 4 will have an in house-period of 12 days including 11 overnight stays. The study duration will be approximately 6 weeks per participant for dose groups 1 to 3 and approximately 7 weeks per participant for dose group 4.

During the study, the study team will:

  • take blood and urine samples
  • do physical examinations
  • check the vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature
  • examine heart health using electrocardiogram (ECG).

About 10 to 14 days after the participants take their last treatment, the study doctors and their team will check the participants' health.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Measured: 10 to 14 days after last administration of study intervention

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Cmax (maximum observed drug concentration in measured matrix after single dose administration) of BAY2395840

    Measured: On day 1

  2. AUC (area under the concentration vs. time curve from zero to infinity after single (first) dose) of BAY2395840

    AUC(0-tlast) will be used if AUC cannot be determined reliably in all participants.

    AUC(0-tlast): AUC from time 0 to the last data point >LLOQ (lower limit of quantification).

    Measured: On day 1

  3. AUC(0-24) (AUC from time 0 to 24 h after single dosing) of BAY2395840

    Measured: On day 1

  4. Cmax,md (Cmax after MD administration during a dosage interval, directly taken from analytical data) of BAY2395840 (only for Dose step 4)

    Measured: On day 7

  5. AUC(0-24)md (AUC from time 0 to 24 h after multiple dosing) of BAY2395840 (only for Dose step 4)

    Measured: On day 7

Individual data sharing
No: Availability of this study's data will later be determined according to Bayer's commitment to the EFPIA/PhRMA "Principles for responsible clinical trial data sharing". This pertains to scope, timepoint and process of data access. As such, Bayer commits to sharing upon request from qualified researchers patient-level clinical trial data, study-level clinical trial data, and protocols from clinical trials in patients for medicines and indications approved in the US and EU as necessary for conducting legitimate research. This applies to data on new medicines and indications that have been approved by the EU and US regulatory agencies on or after January 01, 2014. Interested researchers can use www.vivli.org to request access to anonymized patient-level data and supporting documents from clinical studies to conduct research.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BAY2395840 in people with Diabetic Neuropathic Pain and Healthy Volunteers, run by Bayer at 1 site in Japan.

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 8 inclusion and 14 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 15 Mar 2023. 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 Japan. 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?

Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (time frame: 10 to 14 days after last administration of study intervention). 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 15 Mar 2023.
