A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of Single and Multiple Doses (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg) of Rasagiline Administered to Healthy Japanese and Caucasian Subjects
This study is designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of rasagiline in healthy Japanese
and Caucasian subjects after single and multiple doses of rasagiline.
This is a single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study in healthy
Japanese and Caucasian subjects after administration of single and multiple doses of
rasagiline. All subjects will have a screening visit within 28 days of their check-in day
(day -1) to confirm eligibility. Eligible subjects will be admitted to the investigational
center on study day -1 and their eligibility to participate in the study confirmed. On the
morning of day 1, subjects will be randomly assigned to receive a daily dose of 0.5, 1, or 2
mg of rasagiline or placebo at the same time every morning after an overnight fast (of at
least 10 hours) on days 1 through 10. Venous blood samples (4 mL each) for pharmacokinetic
analysis will be collected at specified time points through 24 hours after study drug
administration on day 1 and through 48 hours after study drug administration on day 10. The
duration of study participation for each subject will be approximately 6 weeks.
Inclusion Criteria:
1. The subject is able to read, speak, and write in English or Japanese, as applicable.
2. The subject is able to understand and be willing to comply with the study
requirements (eg, all dietary, exercise, tobacco, and alcohol restrictions) and
provide written informed consent to participate in the study.
3. The subject is a man or woman, 20 to 50 years of age, inclusive.
4. The subject has a body mass index (BMI) of 18.0-28.0 kg/m2, inclusive.
5. The subject is in a good health, as determined by medical history, ECG, vital signs,
physical examination, and clinical laboratory tests.
6. If female and of childbearing potential, the subject must have a negative β-hCG test
at screening and a negative urine human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test at check-in
and be willing and able to use one of the following medically acceptable double
barrier methods of birth control from the screening visit through the end-of-study
visit: non-hormonal intrauterine device with condom, diaphragm with condom, or condom
with spermicide. Female subjects who are postmenopausal (1 year since last menses)
must have elevated follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level above 35 U/L, or be
surgically sterile.
7. The subject must complete the screening process within 4 weeks before study drug
administration.
8. The subject must be willing and able to comply with study restrictions and to remain
at the clinic for the required duration during the study period, and willing to
return to the clinic for the follow-up evaluation, as specified in this protocol.
Additional inclusion criteria for Japanese subjects:
9. The subject was born in Japan and holds a valid Japanese passport.
10. The subject has 2 Japanese parents and 4 Japanese grandparents, as confirmed by
interview.
11. The subject has been living outside of Japan for 10 years or fewer as confirmed by
interview.
Additional inclusion criterion for Caucasian subjects:
12. The subject has no parents or grandparents of Japanese descent as confirmed by
interview.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. The subject is a woman who is pregnant or lactating.
2. The subject has significant food or drug allergies or a known allergy or sensitivity
to rasagiline or its derivatives or the formulation excipients.
3. The subject is unwilling to refrain from vigorous exercise (eg, strenuous or
unaccustomed weight lifting, running, bicycling, etc) from 7 days before the first
day of study drug administration until the final assessment.
4. The subject has had 1 of the following conditions in the noted amount of time before
screening or at any time between screening and the first day of study drug
administration:
- major trauma or surgery in the last 2 months
- acute infection in the last 2 weeks
- malignancy within the last 5 years
5. The subject has a history of tuberculosis.
6. The subject has any condition that may interfere with drug absorption, distribution,
metabolism, or excretion.
7. The subject is suffering from, or has a clinically significant history of, 1 or more
of the following: cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal,
endocrine, neurological, immunological, or psychiatric disorder(s), or a history of
any illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of
the study or pose additional risk to the subject if he or she participates in the
study.
8. The subject has a positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C
antibody, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody.
9. The subject has a history of hypertension or occasional increase of blood pressure,
or any history of vascular structural abnormality.
10. The subject has a sitting blood pressure outside the range of 80 to 139 mm Hg
(systolic) or 45 to 89 mm Hg (diastolic) (after at least a 5-minute rest) measured at
screening. Blood pressure may be retested twice at intervals of 5 minutes. The blood
pressure is considered sustained if either the systolic or diastolic pressure exceeds
the stated limits in all 3 assessments.
11. The subject has used 1 of the following prohibited drugs or foods:
- an investigational drug (new chemical entity) during the month prior to the
first day of study drug administration
- antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic
and tetracyclic antidepressants, within 42 days before the first day of study
drug administration
- MAO inhibitors, including reserpine and methyldopa, within 3 months prior to the
first day of study drug administration
- any medications (including over-the-counter [OTC] medications, vitamins, or
herbal or nutritional supplements) within 14 days before the first day of study
drug administration (except paracetamol/acetaminophen or ibuprofen used
occasionally, up to 24 hours before the first day of study drug administration)
- drugs known to significantly inhibit CYP1A enzyme drug metabolism within 14 days
before the first day of study drug administration or drugs known to
significantly induce human cytochrome P enzyme (CYP)1A drug metabolism within 28
days before the first day of study drug administration
- excessive amounts of alcohol, defined as more than 3 drinks of alcoholic
beverages (eg, beer, wine, or distilled spirits) per day in the last 3 months
before the first day of study drug administration or a history of alcohol abuse
