What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pharmacodynamic effect of single, oral doses of SB-681323 and prednisolone

    Levels of ex-vivo LPS induced TNFα in whole blood at 1, 2, 6 and 24 hrs post-dose

    Measured: 20 weeks

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Level of pHSP27 and mRNAs encoding inflammatory markers

    Levels obtained in sputum and whole blood samples

    Measured: 20 weeks

  2. CD11b and CD62L surface expression on neutrophils

    Levels obtained in whole blood samples

    Measured: 20 weeks

  3. Blood concentration of inflammatory markers

    GSK's COPD multiplex biomarker assay

    Measured: 20 weeks

  4. CRP levels

    Levels obtained in COPD patient sera

    Measured: 20 weeks

  5. Safety and tolerability of dinsgle doses of SB681323 and prednisolone

    Vitals, AEs, ECGs, safety laboratory, pulmonary function FEV1 and FVC

    Measured: 20 weeks

  6. Exploratory objective #1

    Transcriptomic profiles of induced sputum cells and whole blood Exploratory micro-array analysis of mRNA biomarkers in induced sputum samples at 2 hrs post-dose and whole blood samples at baseline (pre-dose), and 6 hrs post-dose (earlier post-dose blood samples (1 and 2 hrs ) may also be examined)

    Measured: 20 weeks

  7. Exploratory objective #2

    Exploratory analysis of inflammatory biomarker concentrations in induced sputum supernatants (e.g. myeloperoxidase, IL-6, TNF-α, total protein) at 2 hours post-dose

    Measured: 20 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing SB681323 and Prednisolone in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, 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 3 inclusion and 15 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 4 Jun 2012. 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?

Pharmacodynamic effect of single, oral doses of SB-681323 and prednisolone (time frame: 20 weeks). 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 NCT00380133, 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 4 Jun 2012.
