Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the study medication) and pharmacodynamics (the study of the action or effects the study medication has on the body) of single- and multiple, escalating oral doses of JNJ-40411813.

Read the detailed description

This is a double-blind (neither physician nor participants knows the treatment that the participant receives), randomized (study medication is assigned by chance), placebo-controlled (an inactive substance is compared with a medication to test whether the medication has a real effect in a clinical study), single- and multiple ascending dose study. This study consists of 3 phases: screening phase, treatment phase, and follow-up phase. This study will be conducted in 2 cohorts (groups) (Cohort 1: JNJ-40411813 50 mg and Cohort 2: JNJ-40411813 100 mg) and each cohort consists of 2 periods (Period 1: single dose and Period 2: multiple doses). Approximately 36 participants will be enrolled in this study (18 participants will be enrolled in each cohort) to receive JNJ-40411813 or placebo in 2:1 ratio. If safety/tolerability and pharmacokinetic results profile is favorable for single dose of JNJ-40411813, multiple dose administration will follow. Safety will be evaluated by the assessment of adverse events, vital signs, schellong test (a test for circulatory function), 12-lead electrocardiogram, physical examination, neurological examination (to measure mental status, motor examination, reflexes, sensory, gait and cranial nerves), vertigo (giddiness) symptom, and clinical laboratory tests which will be monitored throughout the study. The total duration of study participation for a participant will be 9 weeks.

It refers to an information processing view of a participant's psychological functions.

  11. Addiction Research Center Inventory questionnaire (ARCI-Q)

    This questionnaire will be used for pharmacodynamics analysis. The ARCI-Q is a 49-item questionnaire that probes subjective feeling induced by a drug and categorizes them in four classes of drugs of abuse (morphine-like opioids, alcohol, stimulants and hallucinogens). This test is a self-rating scale. Only 'True (positive)' responses are scored. One point is given for each true response in items. The final score is the sum of the total 'true' responses. Lower scores indicate worsening.

    Time frame: Both Cohorts, Period 1: Day -1 and Day 1 (3 hrs post dose); Both Cohorts, Period 2: Day 7

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 30, 2013, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
