A Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Canagliflozin in Healthy Chinese Volunteers
- Conditions
- Healthy
- Registration Number
- NCT01707316
- Lead Sponsor
- Janssen Research & Development, LLC
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the medication) and pharmacodynamics (the action of the medication on the body) of JNJ-28431754 (canagliflozin) and its main metabolites (break-down products) following 2 different doses of canagliflozin in healthy Chinese volunteers. Safety and tolerability of canagliflozin will also be assessed.
- Detailed Description
This study will be a double-blind (neither the Investigator nor volunteer knows the assigned treatment), randomized (the treatment is assigned by chance), placebo-controlled (one of the study treatments is inactive), single-dose, 3-way cross over study (all volunteers will receive each of the 3 treatments but in a different order) in healthy Chinese volunteers. Volunteers will be assigned to 1 of 3 treatment sequence groups (ABC, BCA, or CAB). The treatment sequence will be decided by randomization. Treatment A will be a single oral (by mouth) dose of 100 mg of canagliflozin. Treatment B will be a single oral dose of 300 mg of canagliflozin. Treatment C will be a single oral dose of placebo (inactive medication). Each treatment will be given during a treatment period of 5 days duration; each treatment period will be separated by a washout period (a time period with no medication) of at least 10 days. Canagliflozin is currently being investigated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Plasma concentrations of canagliflozin and its major metabolites following a single 100 mg and 300 mg dose Up to Day 4 Plasma concentrations of canagliflozin and its major metabolites will be used to determine pharmacokinetic parameters (measurements that explore what the body does to the drug) for canagliflozin and its major metabolites.
Urine concentrations of canagliflozin and its major metabolites following a single 100 mg and 300 mg dose Up to Day 2 Urine concentrations of canagliflozin and its major metabolites will be used to determine pharmacokinetic parameters for canagliflozin and its major metabolites.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Renal threshold for glucose excretion following a single 100 mg dose of canagliflozin, 300 mg dose of canagliflozin, and placebo (inactive medication) Up to Day 2 Renal threshold is defined as the plasma glucose concentration above which glucose is excreted in the urine.
Urine glucose excretion (UGE) following a single 100 mg dose of canagliflozin, 300 mg dose of canagliflozin, and placebo (inactive medication) Up to Day 2 UGE is equal to the amount of glucose excreted into the urine over defined time intervals.
Mean plasma glucose concentration following a single 100 mg dose of canagliflozin, 300 mg dose of canagliflozin, and placebo (inactive medication) Up to Day 2
