A Phase 1 interventional study of JDtic in Cocaine Dependence, sponsored by RTI International. Terminated at 1 site in United States. Open to male participants aged 18 Years to 50 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2012-05-10.

This is the first study to be conducted in humans for JDTic, a new chemical entity, with evaluations focusing on the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of JDTic following administration of single oral doses. JDTic is a novel, selective κ opioid receptor antagonist and is currently being developed by RTI International as a potential pharmacotherapy to treat cocaine dependence. This study has the possibility of identifying the maximum tolerated dose in humans and a surrogate measure of JDTic pharmacodynamic (PD) activity. Data from this study will be used to plan for and define dose ranges for subsequent studies, as well as to identify potential indicators of JDTic pharmacological activity.
JDTic-001 will be a single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose study evaluating three planned escalating oral doses of JDTic in three planned cohorts of healthy male subjects without a history of illicit drug use within the 12 months preceding the Screening Visit, or other substances of abuse within the 12 months preceding the Screening Visit. Each cohort of up to 8 eligible subjects will be enrolled sequentially to receive a single oral dose of study drug under fasting conditions. JDTic dose escalation will occur only if safety and PK data permit. A semi adaptive dosing plan will be followed such that the first two dose cohorts will comprise 4 subjects each and the third planned cohort will comprise 8 subjects. If adverse events (AEs) considered to be at least possibly related to study medication by the Clinic Principal Investigator are noted in study subjects participating in the first two cohorts, an additional 4 subjects will be dosed at the same dose level as part of the affected cohort, unless otherwise determined by the Safety Review Team (SRT) as guided by the JDTic-001 Data and Safety Monitoring Plan (DSMP). Should dosing of additional subjects occur in the first cohort of subjects, then the second cohort of subjects will also include 8 subjects. In each cohort, subjects will be randomized 3:1 active drug: placebo in a double-blind fashion.
The planned JDTic dose levels to be evaluated are 1 mg, 3 mg, and 10 mg; however, the actual dose levels evaluated may be different, and/or additional dose levels may be added by protocol amendment, depending on the safety and PK results of the lower doses.
Subjects will be admitted to the clinic the day before dosing and will be confined to the clinic for 6 nights, with safety and PK evaluations and assessments lasting approximately 125 hours following administration of study drug. Subjects will be required to remain confined to the clinic for more than 6 nights if they experience persistent AEs that require observation and/or the Clinic Principal Investigator or qualified designee (physician who is listed as a subinvestigator on FDA Form 1572) considers it unsafe to release the subject from the clinic. Additionally, alternate subjects admitted with Group 1 but not dosed may remain in the clinic overnight for the possibility of being dosed with Group 2 and therefore would spend more than 6 nights in the clinic. Subjects will return to the clinic at 14 days after receiving their dose for a follow-up visit. If, at this visit, changes in the POMS™ assessment are noted that are considered significant in the Clinic Principal Investigator's opinion, or if a subject has an ongoing AE, the subject will return to the clinic every 14 days (or sooner, if clinically indicated) from the date of the follow-up visit until these changes/AEs have resolved. Subject participation in the study will last up to 4 weeks, from screening through the follow-up visit, depending on the date the subject's screening visit begins with respect to the date he is dosed, and provided no additional follow-up visits are necessary.

Subject is in good general health in the opinion of the Clinic Principal Investigator and as determined by medical history, physical examination, orthostatic vital signs (supine, sitting, and standing blood pressure and heart rate; supine respiratory rate and oral temperature), 12-lead ECG, and clinical laboratory tests at screening. Additionally, the subject's clinical laboratory test results must meet the following criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Subject has one or more ECG parameters outside the following ranges at Screening or just prior to dosing:
Heart rate less than 55 or greater than 100 beats per minute (bpm), PR interval less than 120 or greater than 180 msec, QRS duration less than 70 or greater than 100 msec, QT interval (Bazett) greater than 420 msec
One or more of the Subject's supine vital signs are outside the ranges specified below:
Drug: JDtic
The planned JDTic dose levels to be evaluated are 1 mg, 3 mg, and 10 mg; however, the actual dose levels evaluated may be different, and/or additional dose levels may be added by protocol amendment, depending on the safety and PK results of the lower doses.

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single, escalating oral doses of JDTic in healthy male subjects
Safety and tolerability of JDTic: clinical signs and symptoms, adverse events (AEs), vital signs, electrocardiographic parameters, clinical laboratory test results, psychomotor function assessment
Time frame: 125 hours following administration of JDTic
Pharmacokinetics Profile
PK parameters of JDTic: maximum concentration (Cmax), time to maximum concentration (tmax), area under the curve from time zero to last timepoint with measurable concentration, area under the curve from time zero to infinity, terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) and corresponding elimination rate constant, apparent total body clearance (CL/F), and amount excreted in urine (Aeurine)
Time frame: 125 hours post-dose
To evaluate a potential surrogate measure of JDTic PD activity
