Trial summary

GW273225 is in development for epilepsy and bipolar disorder and can affect women of child bearing potential. A clear understanding of the potential interaction between oral contraceptives and GW273225 is therefore important for clinical investigation of GW273225 in a large number of patients.

A subject with a clinical abnormality may be included only if the Investigator in consultation with the GSK Medical Monitor considers that the abnormality will not introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures.

Subjects with laboratory parameters outside the reference range for this age group will only be included if the Investigator in consultation with the GSK Medical Monitor considers that such findings will not introduce additional risk factors.

  • Subject has received prescribed or non-prescribed medication (including vitamins and herbal remedies) within 14 days prior to day 1 which in the opinion of the investigator, could have interfered with the study procedures or compromised safety.
  • History of gastro-intestinal, hepatic or renal disease or other condition known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of drugs.
  • History of thrombotic events or presence of significant risk factors for thrombosis.
Show all 15Show fewer

  • Donation of more than 1500 mL blood in the previous 12 months.
  • History or presence of any condition contra-indicated to combined oral contraceptive.
  • Any subject where the potential side effects of GW273225 could affect their professional occupation, e.g. operating machinery, driving.

About this study

Official title: An Open, Repeat Dose Study to Investigate the Effect of Co-administration of the Combined Oral Contraceptive Pill (COC) and GW273225 on the Pharmacokinetics of the COC and to Investigate the Effects of the COC on the Pharmacokinetics of GW273225 in Healthy Female Subjects

GW273225 is in development for epilepsy and bipolar disorder and can affect women of child bearing potential. A clear understanding of the potential interaction between oral contraceptives and GW273225 is therefore important for clinical investigation of GW273225 in a large number of patients. This study will investigate whether there is any effect of GW273225 upon the components of combined oral contraceptive, and also whether taking oral contraceptives affects the pharmacokinetics (PK) of GW273225.

26 healthy female subjects, aged 18-45 years will take an oral contraceptive (150ug levonorgestrel and 30ug ethinylestrdiol; The study will include a screening period, two cycles on oral contraceptive with GW273225 at 25 mg once per day administered from the start of the second COC cycle for 47 days. There will be a follow-up visit 14-21 days later.

Sequence ABCExperimentalAll subjects will receive the treatment sequence ABC where A=combined oral contraceptive pill (COC), B=COC plus GW273225 and C=GW273225. COC will be administered in two cycles that is, cycle 1 (Days 1-21) and cycle 2 (Days 29-49) of the study. The cycles will be separated by a 7 day washout period. GW273225 will be administered at a dose of one 25 milligram tablet once daily on Days 29-75 of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GW273225 and COC in people with Bipolar Disorder, 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Aug 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

0-24hrs PK of oral contraceptive components (time frame: 0-24hrs). 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 8 Aug 2017.
