Who may be able to join

  • Healthy as determined by a responsible and experienced physician, based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and cardiac monitoring. A subject 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.
  • Male or female between 20 and 55 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
  • A female subject is eligible to participate if she is of: Non-childbearing potential defined as pre-menopausal females.
  • Male subjects with female partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use one of the contraception methods. This criterion must be followed from the time of the first dose of study medication until follow-up visit.
  • Body weight >= 45 kg and BMI within the range 18.5 - 29.0 kg/m2 (inclusive).
  • Japanese defined as being born in Japan, having four ethnic Japanese grandparents, holding a Japanese passport or identity papers and being able to speak Japanese. Japanese subjects must not have lived outside of Japan for more than 10 years.
  • ALT, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin <= 1.5xULN (isolated bilirubin >1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%).
  • Single QTc, QTcB or QTcF < 450 msec.

Who cannot join

One unit is equivalent to a 285 mL glass of full strength beer or 425 mL schooner of light beer or 1 (30 mL) measure of spirits or 1 glass (100 mL) of wine (NHMRC Guidelines [NHMRC, 2009])

About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Randomized, Single-Blind, Three-Period Cross-Over, Placebo-Controlled, Single Oral Dose, Dose-Escalation (Part 1), Fixed Sequence, and Repeat Dose (Part 2) Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Losmapimod in Healthy Japanese Subjects.

This study is the first study of losmapimod in Japanese subjects. This study will be a single-center, single blind, phase I and two part study to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles in healthy Japanese volunteers (male and female of non-childbearing potential). Part1 will be a single dose, randomized, three-period, placebo-controlled and dose escalation part. Each subject will participate in 3 dosing sessions, and receive, on separate days, three of four treatments of losmapimod 2.5, 7.5 and 20 mg, and the matching placebo in the fasted state after overnight fast (at least 10 hours). The design incorporates sufficient washout between treatments (at least 7 days after the previous administration), and is an efficient design for the study objectives. Part 2 will be a fixed dose and placebo-controlled part. Each subject will participate in one dosing session, and receive losmapimod 7.5 mg or the matching placebo twice daily in the fasted state for 14 days. Only subjects will be blind to the sequence and dose studied. The study will include the placebo treatment to allow a valid evaluation of adverse events attributable to treatment versus those independent of treatment. Approximately 18 subjects in each part will receive treatments of losmapimod and/or placebo in the design. The primary objective of the study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of single doses and repeat doses of losmapimod in healthy Japanese subjects. Serial pharmacokinetic samples will be collected and safety assessments will be performed following each dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Losmapimod for single dose and Losmapimod for repeat dose in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 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 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 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 (time frame: Single dose: up to 96h post dose. Repeat dose: up to 17 days post dose.). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Jul 2017.
