Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of itraconazole, a strong cytochrome P (CYP)3A4 and p-glycoprotein (PgP) inhibitor, and rifampicin, a CYP3A4, uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT), and PgP inducer, and an inhibitor of organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP), on the single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of JNJ-53718678 in healthy adult participants.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, open-label, fixed sequence, Phase 1 study in healthy adult participants to study the effects of itraconazole and rifampicin on the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of a single dose of JNJ-53718678. This study will be conducted in 2 separate panels, with 14 participants in Panel 1 and 16 participants in Panel 2. The study consists of following phases: Screening (28 days), Treatment phase (11 days) and Follow-up (10 to 14 days after the last study drug intake). Blood samples will be collected for evaluation of pharmacokinetics at pre-dose and post-dose of study treatment. Participants will be assessed for safety and tolerability throughout the study.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum Observed Analyte Concentration (Cmax)

    The Cmax is the maximum observed analyte concentration after the JNJ-53718678 doses on Day 1, Day 4 (Panel 2 only) and Day 9.

    Time frame: Up to 11 days

  2. Area Under the Analyte Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to the Time of the Last Measurable Concentration (AUC [0-last])

    The (AUC \[0-last\]) is the area under the analyte concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of the last quantifiable concentration after the JNJ-53718678 doses on Day 1 and Day 9.

    Time frame: Up to 11 days

  3. Area Under the Analyte Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to Infinite Time (AUC [0-infinity])

    The AUC (0-infinity) is the area under the Analyte concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinite time after the JNJ-53718678 doses on Day 1 and Day 9, calculated as the sum of AUC(0-last) and C(0-last)/lambda(z), wherein AUC(0-last) is the area under the analyte concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of the last quantifiable concentrations; C(0-last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration; and lambda(z) is elimination rate constant.

    Time frame: Up to 11 days

  4. Area Under the Analyte Concentration-time curve From Time 0 to 24h (AUC24h)

    The AUC24h is the area under the analyte concentration-time curve from time 0 to 24h after dosing on Day 1 and Day 4 (Panel 2 only).

    Time frame: Up to 11 days

  5. Ratio of Individual Cmax Values Between Test and Reference Treatment (Ratio Cmax, test/reference)

    Ratio Cmax, test/reference is the ratio of individual Cmax values between test (JNJ-53718678 with itraconazole, on Day 9, or JNJ-53718678 with rifampicin, on Day 4 and Day 9) and reference (without itraconazole or rifampicin, on Day 1) treatments.

    Time frame: Up to 11 days

  6. Ratio of Individual AUC24h Values Between Test and Reference Treatment (Ratio AUC24h, test/reference)

    Ratio AUC24h, test/reference is the ratio of individual AUC24h values between test (JNJ-53718678 with rifampicin, on Day 4) and reference (without rifampicin, on Day 1) treatments.

    Time frame: Up to 11 days

  7. Ratio of Individual AUClast Values Between Test and Reference Treatment (Ratio AUClast, test/reference)

    Ratio AUClast, test/reference is the ratio of individual AUClast values between test (JNJ-53718678 with itraconazole or rifampicin, on Day 9) and reference (without itraconazole or rifampicin, on Day 1) treatments.

    Time frame: Up to 11 days

  8. Ratio of Individual AUC(infinity) Values Between Test and Reference Treatment (Ratio AUC[infinity], test/reference)

    Ratio AUC(infinity), test/reference is the ratio of individual AUC(infinity) values between test (JNJ-53718678 with itraconazole or rifampicin, on Day 9) and reference (without itraconazole or rifampicin, on Day 1) treatments.

    Time frame: Up to 11 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events

    An adverse event is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product.

    Time frame: Screening up to Follow-up (30 to 35 days after last study drug intake)
