Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 55 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Suitable as determined by the Principal Investigator, based on his/her overall evaluation. A patient with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameters outside the reference range for the population being studied may be included only if the Investigator and the GSK Medical Monitor agree that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures.
  • Diagnosed with a relapsing form of MS defined as either
  • Relapsing Remitting MS according to revised McDonald Criteria [McDonald, 2001; Polman, 2005] plus any one of the following:
  • Occurrence of at least one relapse in the previous 12 months OR at least 2 relapses in the previous 24 months OR at least one documented Gd-enhancing lesion by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 12 months prior to screening.
  • OR
  • -Secondary Progressive MS, plus any one of the following: Occurrence of at least one relapse in the previous 12 months OR at least 2 relapses in the previous 24 months OR at least one documented Gd-enhancing lesion by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 12 months prior to screening.
  • Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score ≤5.5
  • Male or female between 18 and 55 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Abnormal baseline blood tests
  • Treatment with interferon-beta-1b (Betaferon), interferon-beta-1a (Rebif or Avonex), or glatiramer acetate (Copaxone) within 90 days of dosing.
  • Treatment with methylprednisolone or any other systemic steroids within 60 days of dosing.
  • Treatment within the past 12 months or currently with any of the following agents: cyclosporine, azathioprine, methotrexate, cladribine, natalizumab (Tysabri®) or other monoclonal antibodies, murine protein, T-cell vaccination, plasmapheresis, IVI gG, ,stem cell transplantation.
  • History of intolerance to acetominophen, ibuprofen, naproxen or any other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent which would preclude use of at least one of these during the study.
  • Previous history of anaphylaxis, severe allergic reaction, or hypersensitivity to albumin or a protein-based therapeutic, including natalizumab (Tysabri) or any other monoclonal antibody. History of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the formulation.
  • A positive pre-study Hepatitis B surface antigen or positive Hepatitis C antibody result.
  • Patients with evidence of dementia or psychiatric illness which, in the Investigator's opinion, is likely to prevent them from a full understanding of and/or compliance with the study requirements and procedures.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Single-blind (Investigator and Subject), Placebo-controlled, Single Ascending Dose Study Exploring the Preliminary Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of GSK1223249 Administered by Intravenous (IV) Infusion to Subjects With Relapsing Forms of Multiple Sclerosis, Not on Disease Modifying Therapy

The drug being tested in this study is GSK1223249. The drug works by inhibiting a protein that prevents nerve growth.

The trial is expected to involve approximately 36 patients. The study objective is to investigate the tolerability, safety and the way the body handles GSK1223249 after a range of single doses in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

Read the detailed description

This is a phase I study of GSK1223249. The study design is randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, sequential dose escalation, single dose administration. Approximately 36 patients with relapsing forms of Multiple Sclerosis (having had at least two relapses over the previous 24 months, OR at least one relapse within the last 12 months, OR having had at least one documented gadolinium-enhancing lesion on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 12 months prior to Screening) will be enrolled.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GSK1223249 in people with Multiple Sclerosis, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Australia.

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 8 inclusion and 8 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 20 Sep 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 Australia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

The preliminary safety and tolerability of single doses of GSK1223249 (time frame: screening, baseline (pre-dose) and up to 84 days post dose). 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 20 Sep 2017.
