Pharmacokinetic Study of JNJ-42756493 in Healthy Participants

This is a randomized (study drug assigned by chance), open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), 2-way crossover, single-dose, and single-center, Phase 1 study of oral JNJ-42756493 in healthy participants. The duration of the study is approximately 36-63 days: 2-20 days Screening, two 7 days open-label treatment periods, 12-14 days washout and 12-14-day follow-up (Day 13-15 of period 2). All participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatment sequences. In Treatment Sequence AB: JNJ-42756493 10 mg tablet formulation will be administered on Day 1 of Period 1 and 100 mcg JNJ-61818549 will be administered intravenously 2 hours after the intake of 10 mg JNJ-42756493 oral solution on Day 1 of Period 2. In Treatment Sequence BA: 100 mcg JNJ-61818549 will be administered intravenously after the intake of 10 mg JNJ-42756493 oral solution on Day 1 of Period 1 and 10 mg JNJ-42756493 tablet formulation will be administered on Day 1 of Period 2. A minimum 12 days washout is required between treatment periods. Participants will primarily be analyzed for pharmacokinetics (the study of the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time). Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.
