About

The purpose of this study is to compare the rate and extent of absorption of a single dose of two solid dose formulations relative to a nanosuspension formulation of JNJ-40411813 (Part 1); to evaluate the effect of a high-fat/high-calorie breakfast on the rate and extent of absorption of the selected JNJ-40411813 solid dose formulation from Part 1 (Part 2); and to explore the influence of a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4, ketoconazole, on the rate and extent of absorption of the selected JNJ-40411813 solid dose formulation from Part 1 (Part 3).

Full description

This is an open-label (both physician and participants know the identity of the intervention) and single centre study. This study will be conducted in 3 parts (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3). The study consists of 3 phases including, the screening phase (within 21 days prior to the start of study medication), treatment phase (Part 1: 20 days; Part 2: 12 days; Part 3: 16 days), and the follow-up phase (Part 1 and Part 2: approximately 14 days after the last administration of study medication and Part 3: 14 days after the last administration of ketaconazole). Approximately 36 participants will be enrolled in the study (12 participants in each part). Part 1 is randomized (study medication is assigned by chance) and 3-way cross-over (method used to switch participants from one treatment arm to another in a clinical study) part of the study. Participants in Part 1 will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment sequences (Period 1, Period 2, and Period 3) to receive single dose of 3 formulations of JNJ-40411813 (Formulation A: hard gelatin capsule filled with beads; Formulation B: immediate release tablet; and Formulation C: nanosuspension formulation) without food. Each period will be separated by a wash out period (no treatment) of at least 1 week. Part 2 is randomized and 2-way cross-over part of the study. Participants in Part 2 will be randomly assigned 1 of 2 treatment sequences (Period 1 and Period 2) to receive single dose of the selected solid dose formulation of JNJ-40411813 from Part 1 without food and with food separated by a wash out period of at least 1 week. Part 3 is single-arm sequential (carried out in a staged approach) part of the study. Participants in Part 3 will receive single dose of the selected solid dose formulation of JNJ-40411813 from Part 1 on two occasions (Day 1 and Day 10) without food along with ketoconazole from Day 6 to Day 14 with food. Safety will be evaluated by the assessment of adverse events, vital signs, physical examination, 12-lead electrocardiogram, and clinical laboratory tests which will be monitored throughout the study. The total duration of study participation for a participant will be 8 weeks.

Enrollment: 36 patients

36 participants in 3 patient groups

Part 1

Experimental group

Description:

Participants will receive single dose of all the 3 formulations of JNJ-40411813 (Formulation A: hard gelatin capsule filled with beads; Formulation B: immediate release tablet, and Formulation C: Nanosuspension formulation) without food in 3 periods (Period 1, Period 2, and Period 3). The sequences will be based on a computer-generated randomization schedule prepared by the sponsor before the study. Each period will be separated by a wash out period (no treatment) of at least 1 week.
