A Study to Investigate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of JNJ-42847922 in Healthy Participants

Registration Number
NCT02230878
Lead Sponsor
Janssen-Cilag International NV
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (the study of the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time), dose-proportionality, accumulation, urinary excretion, pharmacodynamics (the study of how drugs act on the body) and sedative effects of JNJ-42847922 in healthy male and female participants.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 1, double blind (a medical research study in which neither the researchers nor the participants know what treatment the participants is receiving), randomized (study drug assigned by chance), placebo controlled, multiple ascending dose study. The study will consist of 3 parts: a Screening period (Days -21 to -2), a Double-blind treatment period (Day -1 to Day 11), and a Follow-up period (within 7 to 14 days after last dose administration). In double blind treatment period, participants will be randomly assigned to 5, 10, 20, and 40 milligram (mg) or placebo. Number of participants with any clinically relevant changes (adverse events \[AEs\], laboratory results,electrocardiogram \[ECG\], Vital signs, Physical and neurological, sedation \& concentration) and columbia suicide severity rating (CSSR) scale will be evaluated as primary outcome measure. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Tympanic TemperatureBaseline up to End of study (7-14 days after last dose) or Early withdrawal
Supine and Standing Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure (BP)Baseline up to End of study (7-14 days after last dose) or Early withdrawal

BP is the pressure of the blood within the arteries. It is produced primarily by the contraction of the heart muscle. BP measurement is recorded by 2 numbers: systolic BP (SBP, BP when heart is contracting; it is the maximum arterial pressure during contraction of left ventricle) and diastolic BP (DBP, BP when heart is relaxing; it is the minimum arterial pressure during relaxation and dilation of ventricles).
