About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double Blind, Parallel Group, Placebo Controlled 28 Day Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacodynamics of SB-656933 in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamics of SB656933 in patients that have cystic fibrosis

Read the detailed description

This proof of mechanism study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamics of SB-656933 following 28 days of daily administration of 20 and 50 mg SB-656933 in patients with CF compared to placebo. The primary endpoints of the study will be the effect of SB-656933 on safety and tolerability (adverse events, vital signs, clinical laboratory assessments, 12-lead electrocardiograms, and urinalysis) following 28 days of dosing. Secondary endpoints will include levels of neutrophil elastase in induced sputum and other sputum markers of inflammation (e.g. myeloperoxidase, total protein), induced sputum cells (i.e. total sputum neutrophil counts, percent sputum neutrophils) and sputum microbiology. Other assessments will include lung function measurements (spirometry); serum and plasma markers of inflammation (e.g. fibrinogen, CC-16, CRP, MMP8, MMP9, SP-D, and CXCL-8), quality of life questionnaire, and population pharmacokinetics parameters of SB-656933

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE) and Serious Adverse Events (SAE)

    AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. For marketed medicinal products, this also includes failure to produce expected benefits (i.e., lack of efficacy), abuse or misuse. SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is medically significant.

    Measured: Up to Follow-up (up to 42 days)

  2. Number of Participants With Vital Signs of Potential Clinical Importance

    Vital signs included heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and body temperature. Prior to vital signs all participants rested for at least five minutes in the seated, semi-supine, or supine position. The choice of position was kept constant for the duration of the study. Any results falling outside the normal range were repeated at the discretion of the Investigator. Potential clinical concern range for systolic blood pressure: <85 and >160 millimeter of mercury (mmHg), for diastolic: <45 and >100 mmHg and heart rate: <40 and >110 beats per minute. Number of participants with vital signs of potential clinical importance are presented.

    Measured: Up to Follow-up (up to 42 days)

  3. Number of Participants With Hematology Abnormalities of Potential Clinical Importance

    Hematology parameters were reviewed prior to participants receiving first dose of study medication. The potential clinical concern range for hematology parameters were: Red blood cell (RBC) count (low: < 3.72 * 10^12/Liters (L) and high: > 6.313 * 10^12/L), lymphocytes (low: < 0.8 gigacells/L), hematocrit (low: > 0.075 ratio change from Baseline and high: > 0.54 ratio), mean cell hemoglobin (MCH) (low: < 23.8 picograms (pg) and high: > 39.6 pg), mean cell volume (MCV) (low: <73 femtoliters (FL) and high: >110 FL), platelet count (low: < 100 gigacells/L and high: > 550 gigacells/L), white blood cell (WBC) count (low: < 3 gigacells/L and high: > 20 gigacells/L) and eosinophils (high: > 1 gigacells/L). Only those parameters for which at least one value of potential clinical concern was reported are summarized. Number of participants with hematology abnormalities of potential clinical importance are presented.

    Measured: Up to Follow-up (up to 42 days)

  4. Number of Participants With Clinical Chemistry Abnormalities of Potential Clinical Importance

    The potential clinical concern range for clinical chemistry parameters were: glucose (low: < 2.8 millimole [mmol]/L and high: > 9.4 mmol/L), creatine kinase (high: > 3 * upper limit of normal units [ULN]/L), phosphorous, inorganic (low: < 0.8 mmol/L and high: > 1.6 mmol/L), total bilirubin (high: ≥ 1.5 * ULN micromole [μmol]/L), uric acid (low: < 41.636 μmol/L and high: > 582.904 μmol/L), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (high: ≥ 2 * ULN international units [IU/L]/L), gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) (high: ≥ 110 IU/L), carbon dioxide content (low: < 18 mmol/L and high: > 32 mmol/L), direct bilirubin (high: > 1.5 * ULN μmol/L), potassium (low: < 3.0 mmol/L and high: > 5.5 mmol/L) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (high: ≥ 3* ULN IU/L). Only those parameters for which at least one value of potential clinical concern was reported are summarized. Number of participants with clinical chemistry abnormalities of potential clinical importance.

    Measured: Up to Follow-up (up to 42 days)

  5. Number of Participants With Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings

    Prior to ECG recordings, all participants rested for at least 5 minutes in the seated, semi-supine, or supine position. The choice of position was kept constant for the duration of the study. Participants avoided hot and cold food for at least 30 minutes prior to an ECG measurement. Any results falling outside normal range were repeated at the discretion of the Investigator. ECG Baseline values taken within 2.5 hours prior to first dose were calculated using the mean value of triplicate pre-dose readings. Triplicate readings were taken at least five minutes apart. Participants agreed to abstain from hot and cold drinks and food prior to an ECG measurement. ECG machine calculated heart rate and measured PR, QRS, QT, and QT corrected by Bazett's formula (QTcB), QT corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) intervals. Number of participants with abnormal (not clinically significant [NCS] and clinically significant [CS]) electrocardiogram (ECG) findings are presented.

    Measured: Up to Follow-up (up to 42 days)

  6. Number of Participants With Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Exacerbation

    CF is one of the most common, lethal, autosomal recessive disease characterized by airway obstruction, bronchiectasis and infection, and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Number of participants with CF exacerbation are presented.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 42

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Number of Participants With Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and Staphylococcus Aureus Count in Sputum

    Bacterial colony count of both Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus in sputum were performed. Participants were graded as no bacteria in sputum, 1+, 2+, 3+ and 4+, which indicated proportional concentration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus in sputum, where no bacteria indicated there was no bacteria in sputum, 1+ indicated slightly positive and 4+ indicated highly positive. Higher grades (4+) indicated worst outcomes (highly infected sputum). Number of participants with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and staphylococcus aureus count in sputum are presented.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 28

  2. Induced Sputum Neutrophil Number

    Sputum samples were taken after bronchodilation and number of neutrophils in induced sputum were reported.

    Measured: Day 28

  3. Induced Sputum Neutrophil Percentage

    Sputum samples were taken after bronchodilation and percentage of neutrophils in induced sputum are presented.

    Measured: Day 28

  4. Induced Sputum Inflammatory Markers-Myeloperoxidase and Neutrophil Elastase

    Sputum samples were taken after bronchodilation. Mean induced sputum inflammatory markers namely Myeloperoxidase and neutrophil elastase are presented.

    Measured: Day 28

  5. Serum and Plasma Markers of Inflammation- Clara Cell Secretory Protein (CC-16) and CXCL8 (Interleukin-8 [IL-8])

    Blood samples intended for CC-16 and CXCL8 were collected in 5.0 milliliter (mL) serum separator goldtopped blood collection tubes, then immediately mixed by gentle inversion 10 times. The samples were permitted to coagulate for 30 to 60 minutes before centrifugation at 1600 g for 15 minutes. Two 0.75 mL aliquots of serum supernatant were transferred separately into two Sarstedt tubes and frozen at -70 degree Celsius (°C). Plasma samples intended for CC-16 and CXCL8 were centrally analyzed using a commercial test kit based on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.

    Measured: Day 14 and Day 28

  6. Serum and Plasma Markers of Inflammation- C-reactive Protein (CRP)

    Blood samples intended for C-Reactive Protein (CRP) analysis were collected in 4.0 mL plain red-topped blood collection tubes. The samples were permitted to coagulate for 30 to 60 minutes before centrifugation at 1600 gram (g) for 15 minutes. A 1 mL volume of serum supernatant was transferred via pipette into a Nunc tube and stored at room temperature. Central analysis of CRP in serum samples was measured via fixed time nephelometry on the Behring Nephelometer II.

    Measured: Day 14 and Day 28

  7. Serum and Plasma Markers of Inflammation- Fibrinogen

    Blood samples intended for fibrinogen analysis were collected in 4.5 mL 3.2 % sodium citrate blue-topped blood collection tubes, then immediately mixed by gentle inversion eight to ten times. Each sample was centrifuged at 1600 g for 15 minutes. A 1 mL volume of plasma supernatant was transferred via pipette into a Nunc tube, frozen at -20°C. Central analysis of fibrinogen in plasma samples was completed via photometric clot detection with automatic sample preparation.

    Measured: Day 14 and Day 28

  8. Serum and Plasma Markers of Inflammation- Matrix Metalloproteinase-8 (MMP8), Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) and Surfactant Protein D (SP-D)

    Blood samples intended for MMP-8 and MMP-9 analyses were collected in 4.0 mL lithium heparin greentopped collection tubes, then immediately mixed by gentle inversion five times. The samples were centrifuged at 1800 g for 15 minutes within 30 minutes of collection. A 2 mL volume of supernatant was transferred into a Sarstedt tube and subsequently centrifuged at 10000 g for 10 minutes at 2 to 8°C for complete platelet removal. A 1 mL volume of plasma supernatant was transferred into a Sarstedt tube and frozen at -70°C. Blood samples intended for SP-D were collected in 5.0 mL serum separator goldtopped blood collection tubes, then immediately mixed by gentle inversion 10 times. The samples were permitted to coagulate for 30 to 60 minutes before centrifugation at 1600 g for 15 minutes. Two 0.75 mL aliquots of serum supernatant were transferred separately into two Sarstedt tubes and frozen at -70°C. Plasma samples were centrally analyzed using a commercial test kit based on ELISA method.

    Measured: Day 14 and Day 28

  9. Change From Baseline in Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) and Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)

    FEV1 is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs in the first second of a forced exhalation. FVC is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. The change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline values from the individual post-randomization values.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) to Day 14 and Day 28

  10. Area Under the Plasma Drug Concentration (AUC) Versus Time Curve: AUC From Time Zero (Pre-dose) to Four Hours Post Dose (AUC[0-4]) and AUC From Time Zero (Pre-dose) to Last Time of Quantifiable Concentration (AUC[0-t])

    Blood samples were taken via an indwelling cannula (or by direct venepuncture), collected into a 3.0 mL Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) lavender-topped collection tube, immediately mixed by gentle inversion ten times, then placed on water ice. The samples were centrifuged at 1600 g for 15 minutes at 4°C for 10 minutes. Supernatant plasma was transferred to a 1.8 mL Nunc tube and frozen at -20°C.

    Measured: Day 1: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose and Day 28: pre-dose, 1 and 4 hours

  11. Maximum Observed Plasma Drug Concentration (Cmax)

    Blood samples were taken via an indwelling cannula (or by direct venepuncture), collected into a 3.0 mL EDTA lavender-topped collection tube, immediately mixed by gentle inversion ten times, then placed on water ice. The samples were centrifuged at 1600 g for 15 minutes at 4°C for 10 minutes. Supernatant plasma was transferred to a 1.8 mL Nunc tube and frozen at -20°C.

    Measured: Day 1: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose and Day 28: pre-dose, 1 and 4 hours

  12. Time to Maximum Observed Plasma Drug Concentration (Tmax)

    Blood samples were taken via an indwelling cannula (or by direct venepuncture), collected into a 3.0 mL EDTA lavender-topped collection tube, immediately mixed by gentle inversion ten times, then placed on water ice. The samples were centrifuged at 1600 g for 15 minutes at 4°C for 10 minutes. Supernatant plasma was transferred to a 1.8 mL Nunc tube and frozen at -20°C.

    Measured: Day 1: pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose and Day 28: pre-dose, 1 and 4 hours

A Phase 2 study testing SB656933 in people with Cystic Fibrosis, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 33 sites in 5 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 17 inclusion and 26 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 17 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 33 sites in United States, Germany, France, Israel, 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 17 Nov 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 With Adverse Events (AE) and Serious Adverse Events (SAE) (time frame: Up to Follow-up (up to 42 days)). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00903201, 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 17 Nov 2017.
