About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of TAK-831 when administered as single or multiple oral doses in healthy adult Asian participants.

Full description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-831. This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of TAK-831 when administered as single or multiple oral doses in healthy adult Asian participants (Japanese and Chinese participants).

The study will enroll approximately 40 participants and include up to 5 cohorts of healthy adult Japanese or Chinese participants as following (8 participants per a cohort). Cohorts 3, 4 and 5 are optional and will be decided to run based on the data of Cohorts 1 and 2. Dose level for these cohorts will be defined based on the result of Cohort 1 or Cohort 2.

• Japanese Cohort 1-A; TAK-831 100 mg single dose + TAK-831 300 mg single dose
• Japanese Cohort 1-B; TAK-831 100 mg single dose + Placebo single dose
• Japanese Cohort 1-C; Placebo single dose + TAK-831 300 mg single dose
• Japanese Cohort 2; TAK-831 300 mg or TAK-831 matching placebo, single dose + TAK-831 300 mg or TAK-831 matching placebo, multiple dose *
• Chinese Cohort 3; TAK-831 600 mg or TAK-831 matching placebo, single dose + TAK-831 600 mg or TAK-831 matching placebo, multiple dose
• Japanese Cohort 4; TAK-831 600 mg or TAK-831 matching placebo, single dose + TAK-831 600 mg or TAK-831 matching placebo, multiple dose
• Japanese Cohort 5; TAK-831 50 mg or TAK-831 matching placebo, single dose + TAK-831 50 mg or TAK-831 matching placebo, multiple dose *The dose in Cohort 2 will be adjusted based on the safety and tolerability as well as PK and PD in Cohort 1.

Above all treatment, randomization information will remain undisclosed to the participant and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need) and TAK-831 will be administered orally.

This single center trial will be conducted in Japan. The overall time to participate in Cohort 1 of this study is approximately 12 days and 19 days in Cohorts 2 to 5. 11 days (for Cohort 1) or 12 days (for Cohorts 2 to 5) after last dose of study drug, participants will be contacted by telephone for a follow-up assessment unless abnormal, clinically significant findings are observed upon discharge.

Enrollment: 40 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 20 to 55 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

5. The participant must be a current nonsmoker who has not used tobacco- or nicotine-containing products (e.g., nicotine patch) for at least 6 months prior to the Screening.
6. Chinese participants are defined as participants who were born in mainland China, and their biological parents and grandparents must all have been of Chinese origin (for Cohort 3 only).
7. Chinese participants who have lived out of China for more than 5 years must not have significantly modified their diets since leaving China (for Cohort 3 only).
8. The participant must be judged to be in good health by the investigator, based on clinical evaluations including laboratory tests, medical history, full physical examination, 12-lead electrocardiogram, and vital sign measurements performed at the Screening and prior to the first dose of study drug.
9. The participant must meet the birth control requirements.
