A 5-way Treatment Period Trial of Single Doses of Intranasal GSK256066 in Patients With Rhinitis

The FEV1 is the volume of air forcefully exhaled in 1 second. The highest FEV1 value amongst the three recorded FEV1 readings was used for all FEV1 calculations. FEV1 was recorded pre-dose and at follow-up.

Vital signs included SBP and DBP. SBP and DBP were measured pre-dose. The measurements were taken at 5 minutes interval during each treatment period. Vital signs measurements were made with the participant in a supine position having rested in this position for at least 5 minutes before the first reading at each time point. Measurements that deviated substantially from previous readings were repeated immediately.

Vital signs included heart rate. Heart rate was measured pre-dose. The measurements were taken at 5 minutes interval during each treatment period. Vital signs measurements were made with the participant in a supine position having rested in this position for at least 5 minutes before the first reading at each time point. Measurements that deviated substantially from previous readings were repeated immediately.

Electrocardiogram variables evaluated included PR interval, QRS duration, QT interval, QT corrected by Bazett's formula (QTcB), QT corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) and RR interval. ECG was performed pre-dose, one hour and four hour post-dose. The ECG measurements were made with the participant in a supine position having rested in this position for at least 10 minutes before each time-point. Baseline was defined as the pre-dose measurement on Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline values from post-Baseline values

AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. For marketed medicinal products, this also includes failure to produce expected benefits (i.e., lack of efficacy), abuse or misuse. SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is medically significant.

Blood samples for hematology were taken before dosing. Whole blood samples were collected and processed according to the local procedures at site. The samples were transferred to the local laboratory for analysis. The participants with hematology of potential clinical concern are reported. The potential clinical concern ranges (low and high) were given as: for white blood cell count (clinical concern range: 3 to 20 giga cells/liter), neutrophils (normal range: 2.1 to 10.0 giga cells/liter), hemoglobin (clinical concern upper value: >180 grams/liter). Only those parameters for which at least one value of potential clinical concern was reported are summarized.

Blood samples for clinical chemistry were taken before dosing. Whole blood samples were collected and processed according to the local procedures at site. The samples were transferred to the local laboratory for analysis. The participants with clinical chemistry values of potential clinical concern are reported. The potential clinical concern ranges (low and high) were given as: for total bilirubin levels (clinical concern upper value: >31 micromole/liter) and inorganic phosphorus level (normal range: 0.7-1.5 millimole/liter).

The pharmacokinetics (PK) of GSK256066 were assessed in plasma by determining AUC(0-last). All participants who received at least one dose of the active investigational product provided at least one sample for plasma PK analysis. Blood samples for PK were collected pre-dose, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours post-dose and analyzed for GSK256066. AUC (0-last) was not calculable for any participant at 1 mcg GSK256066 dose.

The PK of GSK256066 were assessed in plasma by determining AUC(0-last). All participants who received at least one dose of the study drug provided at least one sample for plasma PK analysis. AUC (0-last) was not calculable in any participant at the 1, 10 or 50 mcg GSK256066 dose.

The PK of GSK256066 were assessed in plasma by determining Cmax. All participants who received at least one dose of the study drug provided at least one sample for plasma PK analysis. Blood samples for PK were collected pre-dose, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours post-dose and analyzed for GSK256066.

The PK of GSK614917 were assessed in plasma by determining AUC(0-last). All participants who received at least one dose of the study drug provided at least one sample for plasma PK analysis. C max was not calculable for any participant at the 1 mcg GSK256066 dose.

The PK of GSK256066 were assessed in plasma by determining Tmax and Tlast. All participants who received at least one dose of the study drug provided at least one sample for plasma PK analysis. Blood samples for PK were collected pre-dose, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours post-dose and analyzed for GSK256066.

The PK of GSK614917 were assessed in plasma by determining Tmax and Tlast. All participants who received at least one dose of the study drug provided at least one sample for plasma PK analysis. Tmax and Tlast could not be determined for any participant at the 1 mcg GSK256066 dose.

Nasal lavage samples were taken 2 -3 hour post morning dose and analyzed for GSK256066. Quantifiable levels of GSK256066 were observed in nasal lavage samples obtained 2-3 hours post-dose.

Nasal lavage were taken 2 to 3 hour post morning dose; bilateral nasal lavage was conducted before the scrape. Nasal lavage samples were analyzed to explore the effects of GSK256066 on novel protein biomarkers including pVASP. Markers indicative of PDE4 inhibition such as VASP protein levels and phospho157 VASP were also measured in this study, in lavage cells, following positive data in an enabling study which showed increases in such protein levels in participants with allergic rhinitis following a single intranasal dose of salbutamol. Nasal lavage data from earlier studies showed that pVASP157 is the best marker and not pVASP239. pVASP239 was therefore not collected or analyzed as planned.
