What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants Meeting the Definition of Responder for Reduction in Proteinuria at the Indicated Time Points
Proteinuria is defined as the presence of an excess of serum proteins in the urine. Participant was considered as a responder on achieving >=50 percent reduction in proteinuria from Baseline (measured as 24 hour total protein) and also having a stable renal function of >=70 percent of Baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at end of treatment (>=16 Weeks). Only those participants available at the specified time points (represented by n=X in the category titles) were analyzed.
Measured: Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 16 and Week 24
Secondary outcomes (16)
Number of Participants Meeting the Definition of Responder for Reduction in Proteinuria at Any Time During the Treatment Phase (Week 2 to Week 24)
Proteinuria is defined as the presence of an excess of serum proteins in the urine. Participant was considered as responder on achieving >=50 percent reduction in proteinuria from Baseline (measured as 24 hour total protein) and also having a stable renal function of >=70 percent of Baseline eGFR at any time during the treatment phase of the study. Reduction in proteinuria assessment at any time during the treatment phase of the study was done by utilizing a responder analysis.
Measured: Any time during the treatment phase (Week 2 to Week 24)
Percent Change From Baseline in Urinary Protein/Creatinine (Up/c) Ratio (Spot and 24 Hours [hr])
Reduction in proteinuria was measured by the Up/c ratio (spot and 24 hr) at Baseline, Week 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, end of study and at Follow-up (FU) visits Week 30 and 36. Spot urine sample was provided by the participants on site. The 24 hour urine collection started with the second morning void and ended with the first morning void on the following day; generally, 24 hour urine collection was initiated the day prior to the study visit. Baseline was defined as the value obtained at Week 0. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as change from Baseline value divided by Baseline value multiplied by 100. Only those participants available at the specified time points (represented by n=X in the category titles) were analyzed.
Measured: Baseline (Week 0), Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 16, Week 24, End of study, Week 30 and Week 36
Number of Participants With Complete Proteinuria Remissions at the Indicated Time Points
Incidence of complete remissions at any time point was defined as 24 hour total protein <0.3 gram (g) per Day and maintenance of >=70 percent of Baseline eGFR throughout the treatment period. Only those participants available at the specified time points (represented by n=X in the category titles) were analyzed.
Measured: Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 16 and Week 24
Number of Participants Having Any Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Any untoward event resulting in death, life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, any other situation according to medical or scientific judgment or all events of possible drug-induced liver injury with hyperbilirubinaemia were categorized as SAE. Participants having any AE or SAE were included in the analysis.
Measured: From start of the study treatment (Week 0) until the Follow-up phase (Week 36)
Number of Participants Withdrawn Due to Toxicities
Participants were monitored from start of the study treatment (Week 0) up to Week 36 for development of toxicity. Participants who developed toxicity during the period were to be withdrawn from the study.
Measured: From start of the study treatment (Week 0) until the Follow-up phase (Week 36)

Blood pressure was measured in a sitting position after 5 minutes rest with comfortably seated, legs uncrossed and the back and arm supported, such that the middle of the cuff on the upper arm is at the level of the right atrium and asked to remove all clothing that covered the location of cuff placement. It was recorded at Screening, Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 16, Week 24, End of study, and until the follow-up visit (Week 30 and Week 36). Vital sign measurements were repeated if the values were < 80 mmHg or > 140 mmHg SBP and <40 mmHg or >90 mmHg for DBP. Baseline was defined as the value obtained on Week 0. Change from Baseline was calculated as visit value minus value at Baseline. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X in the category titles).

Heart rate was measured at screening, Baseline and throughout the treatment phase (Week 24) and Follow-up phase (Week 36). Heart rate measurement was repeated if the values are calculated <50 beats per minute. (bpm) or >110 bpm after the start of dosing. Baseline was defined as the value obtained at Week 0. Change from Baseline was calculated as visit value minus value at Baseline. Only those participants available at the specified time points were analyzed (represented by n=X in the category titles).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Losmapimod in people with Glomerulosclerosis, Focal Segmental, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 12 sites in 2 countries.
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 6 inclusion and 17 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 12 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 12 sites in United States, Canada. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jun 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Number of Participants Meeting the Definition of Responder for Reduction in Proteinuria at the Indicated Time Points (time frame: Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 16 and Week 24). 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 12 Jun 2017.
