TRPV1 antagonist JNJ-39439335 (mavatrep) demonstrates proof of pharmacology in healthy men: a first-in-human, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, sequential group study.

ABSTRACT: This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, sequential group, phase 1 study was designed to assess in healthy men, the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and translational pharmacodynamics of JNJ-39439335 (mavatrep), a transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1 antagonist; it was preceded by a translational preclinical study which assessed the ability of JNJ-39439335 to block capsaicin-induced flare in rats, providing predictive pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data that informed the subsequent phase 1 clinical study. The clinical study consisted of 2 parts: part 1 assessed pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, including heat pain detection threshold and heat pain tolerance, of JNJ-39439335, and part 2 assessed pharmacodynamic effect of JNJ-39439335 on capsaicin-induc
