Trial summary

GSK1018921 is a new drug under development for the treatment of schizophrenia. GSK1018921 differs from other available drugs in its mode of action and it is assumed that it may have an effect in the treatment of so-called positive symptoms such as hallucinations and negative symptoms such as lack of drive.

About this study

Official title: Single-Blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled First Time in Human Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Single Oral Escalating Doses of GSK1018921 in Healty Volunteers and a Randomized, Double-blind, Double Dummy, Placebo Controlled, Three-way Crossover Study in a Separate Cohort of Healthy Volunteers to Test the Effect of Single Doses of GSK1018921 and Nicotine on qEEG and MMN in Healthy Volunteers

GSK1018921 is a new drug under development for the treatment of schizophrenia. GSK1018921 differs from other available drugs in its mode of action and it is assumed that it may have an effect in the treatment of so-called positive symptoms such as hallucinations and negative symptoms such as lack of drive. No clinical studies have been conducted with GSK1018921 in humans until now. This is the first study where this compound is administered to humans; the study has 2 parts: Part A is a dose escalation study, Part B is a pharmacodynamic portion in a separate group of healthy smoker volunteers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GSK1018921 and Nicotine Lozenges in people with Schizophrenia, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 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 Germany. 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?

Part A:Safety pre-dose-8-15days post dose Tolerability,PK of single escalating doses. Part B: PD effects of single doses of GSK1018921 and nicotine on Quantitative Electroencephalography and MisMatch Negativity in smokers. (time frame: pre-dose-8-15days post dose). 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 NCT00527020, 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 Aug 2017.
