Brief summary
The purpose of this multiple ascending dose study is to characterize the safety, tolerability, and the amount of GLPG0634 present in the blood and urine (pharmacokinetics) of once daily oral administrations of GLPG0634 at 3 different dose levels for 10 days in Japanese healthy subjects. Furthermore, the study will compare the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and effects of GLPG0634 on mechanism of action-related parameters in the blood (pharmacodynamics) of once daily oral administrations of GLPG0634 given at one dose level for 10 days in Japanese vs Caucasian healthy subjects.
Interventions
2 tablets of 25 mg GLPG0634 once daily for 10 days
1 tablet of 100 mg GLPG0634 once daily for 10 days
2 tablets of 100 mg GLPG0634 once daily for 10 days
1 or 2 matching placebo tablets once daily for 10 days

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The number of subjects with abnormal vital signs | From screening up to 10 days after last dose (Day 20) | To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GLPG0634 versus placebo in Japanese subjects at different dose levels, and between Japanese and Caucasian subjects at the highest dose level of GLPG0634 tested in terms of abnormal vital signs |
| The number of subjects with adverse events | From screening up to 10 days after last dose (Day 20) | To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GLPG0634 versus placebo in Japanese subjects at different dose levels, and between Japanese and Caucasian subjects at the highest dose level of GLPG0634 tested in terms of adverse events (AEs) |
| The number of subjects with abnormal laboratory parameters | From screening up to 10 days after last dose (Day 20) | To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GLPG0634 versus placebo in Japanese subjects at different dose levels, and between Japanese and Caucasian subjects at the highest dose level of GLPG0634 tested in terms of abnormal laboratory parameters |
| The amount of GLPG0634 and metabolite in plasma and urine | Between Day 1 before dosing and Day 13 (72 hours after last dose) | To characterize the amount of GLPG0634 and metabolite in plasma and urine over time - pharmacokinetics (PK) - in Japanese subjects at different dose levels, and between Japanese and Caucasian subjects at the highest dose level of GLPG0634 tested Safety Issue?: No |
| The number of subjects with abnormal electrocardiogram | From screening up to 10 days after last dose (Day 20) | To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GLPG0634 versus placebo in Japanese subjects at different dose levels, and between Japanese and Caucasian subjects at the highest dose level of GLPG0634 tested in terms of abnormal electrocardiogram |
| The number of subjects with abnormal physical examination | From screening up to 10 days after last dose (Day 20) | To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GLPG0634 versus placebo in Japanese subjects at different dose levels, and between Japanese and Caucasian subjects at the highest dose level of GLPG0634 tested in terms of abnormal physical examination |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The amount of GLPG0634 mechanism-of-action-related biomarkers in blood | Between Day 1 before dosing and Day 11 (24 hours after last dose) | To characterize the effects of GLPG0634 on mechanism of action-related biomarkers in the blood over time - pharmacodynamics (PD) - in Japanese and Caucasian subjects at the highest dose level of GLPG0634 tested |
