  • Is willing to avoid UV exposure. i.e. use of Sun beds and sunbathing for 7 days prior to screening, throughout the study and and until a week after the last dose. Subjects who require treatment with photosensitizing drugs (e.g, tetracycline, thiazides, fluoroquinolones, phenothiazines, or sulfonamides) will withdrawn. Subjects must also be willing to use sunscreen of SPF30 or above on the volar surface of the forearms for a week after the last dose.

Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the contraception methods in the protocol if they wish to continue their HRT during the study.

  • Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of postmenopausal status prior to study enrollment. For most forms of HRT, at least 2-4 weeks will elapse between the cessation of therapy and the blood draw; this interval depends on the type and dosage of HRT. Following confirmation of their post-menopausal status, they can resume use of HRT during the study without use of a contraceptive method.]; Child-bearing potential and agrees to use one of the contraception methods listed in the protocol. Female subjects willing to participate in the study must agree to use contraception from the screening visit until 15 days post-last treatment administration.

  • Unable to refrain from use of prescription or non-prescription drugs. Refer to the protocol for details.
  • History of sensitivity to any of the study medications SB705498, challenge agents or components thereof or a history of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator or GSK Medical Monitor, contraindicates their participation.

About this study

Official title: A Two Part Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled Study to Investigate the Effects of Topical Doses of SB705498 Oncapsaicin, Histamine, and Cowhage Responses in Healthy Volunteers.

A two part, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study to investigate the effects of topical doses of SB705498 in healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

This study is a two part, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study to investigate the effects of topical doses of SB705498 on capsaicin, histamine, and cowhage responses in healthy volunteers. Part A has been designed to establish whether the topical formulation is capable of delivering SB705498 to the proposed site of action, and to select an appropriate dose for Part B. Part B will examine the effects of SB705498 on pruritus initiated by a histaminergic and a non-histaminergic pathway, using two different challenge agents; histamine and cowhage. This may provide important information about the role of TRPV1 in pruritus and the therapeutic potential of SB705498.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SB705498Drug

    1%, 3% and 5% (w/w) of SB705498 will be used in part A of the study. One dose will then be selected based on criteria explained in the protocol for use in Part B of the study.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Placebo to match SB705498 will be used in both Part A and Part B of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing SB705498 in people with Dermatitis, Atopic, 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 11 inclusion and 13 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 9 Jun 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?

Measurement of the area of flare induced by capsaicin as assessed by Laser (time frame: 1 hour). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01673529, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Jun 2017.
