  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosis of IPF as determined by a responsible and experienced chest physician and based on established criteria defined by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society: American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society International Multidisciplinary Consensus Classification of the Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias.
  • FVC greater than (>) 40% predicted and Diffusing capacity of the Lung for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO) >30% predicted
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) less than (<) 2x upper limit of normal (ULN); alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin less than or equal to (<=) 1.5xULN.

  • Male over 45 years of age inclusive, or female over 50 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 with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhoea. Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the contraception, if they wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of post-menopausal status prior to study enrolment. For most forms of HRT, at least 2 to 4 weeks should elapse between the cessation of therapy and the blood draw; this interval depends on the type and dosage of HRT. Following confirmation of their post-menopausal status, they can resume use of HRT during the study without use of a contraceptive method.

About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Repeat Dose Escalation Study With GSK2126458 in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)

This is a dose escalation/dose finding, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel study of GSK2126458 in subjects with IPF. The study is designed to explore a number of doses of GSK2126458 for engagement of pharmacology after short term dosing. It is anticipated that approximately 24 subjects will be enrolled in this study. Actual number of cohorts in this study could vary up to a maximum of 6 cohorts (n=4/cohort; 3 on active and 1 on placebo).

Each cohort will consist of four subjects who will be randomised to receive GSK2126458 (three subjects) or placebo (one subject) for approximately 8 days (7 to 10 days). On Day 1 they will receive their first dose of GSK2126458 (or placebo) and safety, tolerability and PK/PD in the blood will be measured for up to 8 hours post-dose. Subjects will then be discharged from the site with study drug until the last day of dosing. They will also receive hand held spirometers and instructions on action to be taken in case of deterioration in pulmonary function or any other adverse events (AEs). On the last day of dosing they will return to the site for a repeat of the Day 1 procedures.

A bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and [18F]-fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG)- positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET/CT) scan will be conducted twice during the study; once, at least 2 days before dosing commences and again during the course of the dosing period.

After the final subject in each cohort has completed dosing, a dose escalation meeting will take place. Safety and tolerability and PK data will be reviewed during this meeting and decisions made may include but are not limited to: escalate the dose, decrease the dose or repeat the same dose in the next cohort; stop the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacodynamic (PD) endpoints pAKT/AKT in platelet-rich plasma and BAL cells, [18F]-FDG-PET/CT

    Measured: Day 1 and final dosing day (Day 7, 8, 9 or 10) for each study cohort

  7. Assessment of FEV1 and FVC using daily hand-held spirometry

    Subjects will be required to record their daily spirometry scores (FEV1 and FVC) using hand-held spirometers, at approximately the same time each morning between Screening and the Final Dosing Day

    Measured: Recorded daily from screening until final dosing day (Day 7, 8, 9 or 10) for each cohort

  8. Investigate the effect of GSK2126458 on the frequency and or severity of chronic cough using Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) in IPF subjects

    Subjects will be required to complete the 19 questions - LCQ, which is a symptom specific questionnaire designed to assess the impact of cough severity, a major symptom of IPF. Subjects will be required to complete the 19 questions of the LCQ on Day 1 and the Final Dosing Day

    Measured: Day 1 and final dosing day (Day 7, 8, 9 or 10) for each cohort

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GSK2126458 in people with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, 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 9 inclusion and 19 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 21 Nov 2019. 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. 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?

Pharmacodynamic (PD) endpoints pAKT/AKT in platelet-rich plasma and BAL cells, [18F]-FDG-PET/CT (time frame: Baseline, Day 1, mid-study BAL visit (Day 5-9) and final dosing day (Day 7, 8, 9 or 10) for each cohort). The study lists 5 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 NCT01725139, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 21 Nov 2019.
