  • Research summary

    The new medicine tested in this study is a compound called ASP3700 (referred to as the “study drug” throughout the remainder of this document). Astellas Pharma BV is developing the study drug for treating pain that is associated with osteoarthritis. Cartilage cushions bones at the joints and keeps the bones from rubbing against each other. Osteoarthritis occurs when this cartilage wears away. The loss of cartilage results in pain, reduced range of motion, and swelling.

    This study will recruit healthy, non-smoking, males and females between the ages of 18 and 55 years. A total of 36 subjects will take part in the study. Additional subjects, up to a maximum of 24 subjects, may be enrolled in the study should additional doses be needed or additional dose groups be added.

    The main purpose of the study is to see how safe the study drug is and how well it is tolerated after dosing. The study will also investigate how the study drug is taken up, metabolised (chemically broken down), distributed through the body and excreted. A further aim is to look at how the body responds to the study drug.

    Vital signs, safety ECG measurements, safety laboratory assessments, adverse events and concomitant medications will be monitored throughout the entire investigational period. Blood and urine samples for pharmacokinetic.
    analysis will be collected.
