What participants receive

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

  • GSK933776Drug

    Part A first 2 cohorts 5 patients per cohort 2 placebo and 3 active third cohort part A 2 placebo 6 active. Part B 8 patients per cohort 2 placebo 6 active.

Study groups in NCT00459550
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Part AExperimentalPart A will be a single-blind, single dose, placebo controlled, dose escalation study in up to five consecutive cohorts of Alzheimers Disease subjects. Each subject will receive a single infusion of GSK933776 or placebo. The dose for the first cohort will be 0.001 mg/kg. The proposed nominal doses for subsequent cohorts are 0.01, 0.1, 0.5 and 3 mg/kg, but these may be altered based on the outcome of the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data of the preceding group(s). The maximum possible dose will be 20 mg/kg, although the planned top dose is 18 mg/kg
Receives: Drug: GSK933776; Drug: Placebo to match GSK933776
Part BExperimentalPart B will be a single-blind, repeat dose, placebo controlled dose escalation design. It is proposed that there will be initially 3 cohorts of AD subjects. However up to 5 cohorts may be recruited if required in order to characterise GSK933776 fully.Each cohort will consist of eight subjects (six active, two placebo) who will each receive a maximum of three infusions of GSK933776 or placebo. Dosing in Part B may proceed in parallel with Part A following satisfactory review of minimum data sets as below: First cohort in Part B: at least 3 weeks' data from the Part A dose that is the same dose level as that planned for Part B Second cohort in Part B: at least 3 weeks PK data and 8 weeks safety data following the first dose from all the subjects on active treatment in the preceding Part B cohort plus a satisfactory outcome of the PIB Subsequent cohorts in Part B: at least 3 weeks PK data and 8 weeks safety data follow
Receives: Drug: GSK933776; Drug: Placebo to match GSK933776

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse events. Changes suggesting potential adverse events detected in the physical & neurological examination, brain MRI, cognitive status, laboratory parameters, ECG & vital signs.

    Measured: 12 weeks for Part A; 34 weeks in Part B

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Plasma pharmacokinetic parameters of GSK933776. Pharmacodynamic effects of GSK 933776. CSF detectable levels of GSK933776. Effects of GSK933776 on plasma and CSF biomarkers. Titre & neutralising activity of anti-GSK933776 antibodies. Exploratory PET scan

    Measured: 12 weeks for Part A; 34 weeks in Part B

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GSK933776 in people with Alzheimer's Disease, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 7 sites in 3 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 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 21 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 7 sites in Australia, Sweden, Norway. 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?

Adverse events. Changes suggesting potential adverse events detected in the physical & neurological examination, brain MRI, cognitive status, laboratory parameters, ECG & vital signs. (time frame: 12 weeks for Part A; 34 weeks in Part B). 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 NCT00459550, 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 21 Jul 2017.
