Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Elderly; Healthy
• Interventions: Drug: Placebo oral capsule; Drug: GLPG1205 250 loading dose and 50mg q.d. maintenance dose; Drug: GLPG1205 50mg q.d.

Brief Summary

This study is a Phase I, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effect of aging on safety, tolerability and PK of multiple oral doses of GLPG1205 in healthy male subjects.

The study will comprise of 2 parts, a first part to investigate the effect of aging and a second part to investigate the effect of a loading dose.

Detailed Description

In Part 1, a total of 24 healthy male subjects matched for weight will be divided into 3 age groups:

* Cohort A: 8 subjects aged 65 to 74 years, inclusive

* Cohort B: 8 subjects aged ≥ 75 years (1:1 weight matched with subjects of Cohort A \[±5 kg\])

* Cohort C: 8 subjects aged between 18-50 years, inclusive (1:1 weight matched with subjects of Cohort A \[±5 kg\])

Each cohort will be randomized 3:1 to active (6 subjects) and placebo (2 subjects) treatment respectively. Weight matched subjects in Cohorts B and C will be assigned to active treatment and placebo accordingly. Cohorts A and C will be dosed with 50 mg q.d. GLPG1205 for 14 days.

In the open-label Part 2, an additional cohort of 8 subjects aged 65-74 years (Cohort D) will be included to characterize the PK profile after a loading dose followed by multiple doses of GLPG1205 q.d. for 13 days. A 250 mg loading dose will be administered on Day 1 followed by 50 mg q.d. from Day 2 to Day 14.
