Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability profile of TAK-935 in healthy participants when administered as a single dose of oral solution at escalating dose levels.

Detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is TAK-935. TAK-935 is being tested to find a safe and well-tolerated dose and to assess how TAK-935 is processed by the body. This study will look at side effects and lab results in people who take TAK-935 and is designed as a randomized dose-rising study. The study will consist of 6 Cohorts with 8 participants in each Cohort. In each Cohort, 6 participants will receive a single dose of TAK-935 and 2 participants will receive placebo after a 10-hour fast. The starting dose will be 15 mg followed by planned doses of 50, 200, 600, 900 and not to exceed 1350 mg in subsequent cohorts. This single-center trial will be conducted in the United States. The overall time to participate in this study is up to 51 days. Participants will make 2 visits to the clinic, including one 7-day period of confinement to the clinic. All participants will be contacted by telephone 14 days after the dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants Who Experience at Least One Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)Day 1 to Day 30An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug and within 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
Percentage of Participants Who Meet the Markedly Abnormal Criteria, for Safety Laboratory Tests at Least Once Post-doseDay 1 to Day 14The percentage of participants with any markedly abnormal standard safety laboratory values (hematology, serum chemistries, and urinalysis) collected during the treatment period.
Percentage of Participants Who Meet Markedly Abnormal Criteria, for Vital Sign Measurements at Least Once Post-doseDay 1 to Day 14The percentage of participants with any markedly abnormal vital signs (oral temperature, respiration rate, pulse, and blood pressure) collected during the treatment period.
Percentage of Participants Who Meet the Markedly Abnormal Criteria, for Electrocardiogram (ECG) Measurements at Least Once Post-doseDay 1 to Day 14The percentage of participants with any markedly abnormal criteria for standard 12-lead ECG measured collected during the treatment period.

Percentage of Participants Who Experience at Least One Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug and within 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
