Study to Assess Drug-Drug Interaction Between Itraconazole or Gemfibrozil and JNJ-56021927

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of multiple doses of itraconazole or gemfibrozil on the pharmacokinetics (the study of the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time) of JNJ-56021927 and its metabolites (JNJ 56142060 and JNJ-56142021) in healthy male participants.

About this study

This is a single-dose, single-center, open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), 3-treatment, randomized (study medication assigned to participants by chance) and parallel-group (a medical research study comparing the response in two or more groups of participants receiving different interventions [treatments]) study. The study consists of Screening Phase (that is, 21 days before study commences on Day 1); open-label treatment Phase and end-of-study or early withdrawal assessment. All participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatments, that is, Treatment A (single dose of JNJ-56021927 on Day 1), Treatment B (200 milligram [mg] itraconazole once daily from Day 1 up to Day 32 along with single dose of JNJ-56021927 on Day 4), and Treatment C (600 mg gemfibrozil twice daily from Day 1 up to Day 32 along with single dose of JNJ-56021927 on Day 4). Blood samples will be collected for evaluation of pharmacokinetics at pre-dose and post-dose of study treatment. The maximum duration of participation in the study per participant will be approximately 78 days (Treatment A) or 81 days (Treatment B and C). Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Primary outcomes

  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Time frame: Up to Day 57 or Day 60

    The Cmax is the maximum observed plasma concentration. Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

  2. Time to Reach Maximum Concentration (tmax)

    Time frame: Up to Day 57 or Day 60

    The tmax is time to reach the maximum observed plasma concentration. Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

  3. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to 672 Hours (AUC [0-672])

    Time frame: Up to Day 57 or Day 60

    The AUC (0-672) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to 672 hours. Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

  4. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Time (AUC [0-last])

    Time frame: Up to Day 57 or Day 60

    The AUC (0-last) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time. Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

  5. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinite Time (AUC [0-infinity])

    Time frame: Up to Day 57 or Day 60

    The AUC (0-infinity) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time, calculated as the sum of AUC(last) and C(last)/lambda(z), wherein AUC(last) is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable time; C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration; and lambda(z) is elimination rate constant. Blood samples will be collected up to Day 57 (for Treatment A) or Day 60 (for Treatment B and C).

    Time frame: Up to Day 57 or Day 60

    The percentage of AUC (0-infinity) that is due to extrapolation from Tlast to infinity (AUC%Extrapolation) is calculated by using the formula AUC_%extrapolation = 100*(AUC [0-infinity] minus (AUC [0-last])/(AUC (0-infinity).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) or Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Time frame: Screening up to Day 57 for treatment A or up to Day 60 for treatment B or C or early withdrawal

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to day 57 for treatment A or up to day 60 for treatment B or C, that are absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state.
