A Study to Assess the Effects of Age and Gender on the Pharmacokinetics of JNJ-42847922 in Healthy Adults

Registration Number
NCT02837692
Lead Sponsor
Janssen Research & Development, LLC
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of single-dose evening administration of JNJ-42847922 in elderly non-Asian adults compared with weight- and gender-matched young healthy non-Asian adults and to assess the pharmacokinetics of single-dose evening administration of JNJ-42847922 in healthy Japanese adults.

  • Signed an informed consent document indicating they understand the purpose of and procedures required for the study and are willing to participate in the study
  • Group B and Group C: If a woman, must have a negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) pregnancy test at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test on Day 1 of the treatment period
  • Group B and Group C: If a woman, must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purposes of assisted reproduction during the study and for at least 3 months after the last study drug administration
  • If a man who is sexually active with a woman of childbearing potential and has not had a vasectomy, must agree to use an adequate contraception method as deemed appropriate by the investigator (eg, vasectomy, double-barrier, partner using effective contraception) and to not donate sperm during the study and for 3 months after receiving the last dose of study drug
  • Has body mass index (BMI) (weight kilogram[kg]/height^2 meter[m]^2) between 18 and 30 kg/m2 (inclusive) with a body weight not less than 50 kg for non-Asian subjects (Group A and Group B) and not less than 45 kg for Japanese subjects (Group C)
Exclusion Criteria

  • Consumption of products containing grapefruit or Seville oranges within 28 days before the first dose of the study drug is scheduled
  • Received an experimental drug or used an experimental medical device within 1 month or within a period less than 10 times the drug's half-life, whichever is longer, before the first dose of the study drug is scheduled
  • Unable to swallow solid, oral dosage forms whole with the aid of water (participants may not chew, divide, dissolve, or crush the study drug)
  • Positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 1 and 2 antibodies, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C antibodies

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC [0-last]) of JNJ-42847922Day 1 (Pre-dose) up to Day 3

The AUC (0-last) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time.

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of JNJ-42847922Day 1 (Pre-dose) up to Day 3

The Cmax is the maximum observed plasma concentration.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC [0-infinity]) of JNJ-42847922Day 1 (Pre-dose) up to Day 3

The AUC (0-infinity) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time, calculated as the sum of AUC(last) and C(last)/lambda(z); wherein AUC(last) is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time, C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration, and lambda(z) is elimination rate constant.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants with adverse events and serious adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerabilityBaseline up to 10 days after last dose of study drug (Day 14)
