About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled, Inhaled Single Escalating and Repeat Dose Study Using an Aqueous Droplet Inhaler to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of GSK2339345.

This is a study of the sodium channel inhibitor, GSK2339345. Cohort 1 will assess the safety, tolerability and PK of single ascending doses of GSK2339345 administered via an aqueous droplet inhaler in healthy subjects. Cohort 2 will assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of repeat doses of GSK2339345 administered four times a day for two consecutive days via an aqueous droplet inhaler.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) effects of GSK2339345 in healthy subjects. GSK2339345 is a blocker of neuronal voltage gated sodium channels in development for the treatment of chronic cough, excessive cough and post-viral and viral (acute) cough. Inhaled pan NaV inhibitors are associated with oropharyngeal sensation perturbation and so this study will establish the potential local sensate effects of GSK2339345 at multiples of the predicted inhaled therapeutic dose. This study also aims to define the maximum tolerated dose of GSK2339345 administered via an aqueous droplet inhaler. Cohort 1 is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over, inhaled single-dose escalating study using an aqueous droplet inhaler. Cohort 1 will include assessments of sensate changes via a 4 point scale, assessment of taste via an 11 point scale, and PK assessments to investigate the PK profile of GSK2339345. Cohort 2 of this study is a randomised, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group, inhaled repeat dose study using a aqueous droplet inhaler. Subjects will be randomised to receive 2000 microgram of GSK2339345 or placebo four times a day for two consecutive study days. Similar assessments of sensations to those used in Cohort 1 will be performed. The potential for systemic cardiovascular (CV) or central nervous system (CNS) effects will also be assessed throughout the study via observation. Cohort 2 will also include PK assessments to investigate the PK profile of GSK2339345. Placebo will be used throughout the study as a control.

    To assess the changes in oropharyngeal sensation caused by single and repeat inhaled doses of GSK2339345 administered by an aqueous droplet inhaler.

    Measured: Approximately 5 weeks from first dose to the follow-up visit.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Plasma concentrations of GSK2339345 and single and repeat dose derived pharmacokinetic parameters including Cmax, tmax, AUC(0-t), AUC(0-inf), and AUC(0- τ), as appropriate where data allow.

    Measured: Approximately 5 weeks from first dose to the follow-up visit.

  2. Identification of taste of the solution and rating on 11 point scale to rate pleasantness or unpleasantness

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GSK2339345 (Inhaled) Single Dose and GSK2339345 (Inhaled) Repeat Dose in people with Cough, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety parameters: AEs, vital signs, ECG, body temperature and laboratory assessments, including haematology, clinical biochemistry and cardiac troponin. (time frame: Approximately 5 weeks from first dose to the follow-up visit.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jul 2017.
