About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, First-in-human Study to Investigate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of GS-248 Solution in Healthy Subjects and Patients With Systemic Sclerosis (SSc)

This is a First in Human (FIH), double-blinded, parallel-group, randomised, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and PD of single and multiple ascending oral doses of GS-248 in healthy subjects.

Read the detailed description

Part I (SAD); In the SAD part of the study, single oral doses of GS-248 will be administered in 6 sequential cohorts, each consisting of 8 subjects randomised to receive either GS 248 or placebo in a 3:1 ratio. The first 2 subjects in each cohort will be dosed in a sentinel fashion; 1 subject will receive GS-248 and the other will receive placebo as randomised. The subjects will be carefully monitored by clinical staff during and after dosing. Vital signs, safety laboratory and ECG will be checked at regular intervals.

Part II (MAD); The MAD part of the study will explore multiple ascending dosing of GS-248 administered for 10 days. The proposed starting dose is 25 mg/day. However, the starting dose as well as subsequent dose levels may be adjusted based on safety and PK evaluation in previous cohorts. GS-248 will be administered in 4 sequential cohorts, each of 8 subjects randomised to receive either GS 248 or placebo in a 3:1 ratio. The subjects will be carefully monitored by clinical staff during and after dosing. Vital signs, safety laboratory and ECG will be checked at regular intervals.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Treatment Related Adverse Events

    AEs were assessed as 'unlikely', 'possibly' or 'probably' related to the IMP. 'Possibly' and 'probably' were categorized as treatment related.

    Measured: AEs were collected from the start of IMP administration until the end-of-study visit of each part, an average of 10 days in Part 1 (SAD) and 20 days in Part 2 (MAD).

  2. Clinically Significant Changes in ECG

    Single 12-lead ECG was recorded in supine position after 10 minutes of rest using an ECG machine. Heart rate and PQ/PR, QRS, QT and QTcF intervals were recorded. Ambulatory ECG telemetry was used for cardiac surveillance up to 24 h after IMP administration in the SAD part of the study.

    Measured: 12-lead ECG was measured at pre-defined timepoints from the screening visit until the end-of-study visit, an average of 10 days in Part I (SAD) and 20 days in Part II (MAD).

  3. Clinically Significant Changes in Vital Signs

    Systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse were measured in supine position after 10 minutes of rest. Body temperature was measured orally using a digital thermometer.

    Measured: Vital signs was checked at pre-defined timepoints from the screening visit until the end-of-study visit, an average of 10 days in Part 1 (SAD) and 20 days in Part 2 (MAD).

  4. Clinically Significant Changes in Safety Laboratory Parameters

    Blood samples for analysis of clinical chemistry, haematology and coagulation parameters.

    Measured: Blood samples were collected at pre-defined timepoints from the screening visit until the end-of-study visit, an average of 10 days in Part I (SAD) and 20 days in Part II (MAD).

  5. Clinically Significant Changes in Physical Examination

    A complete physical examination included assessments of the head, eyes, ears, nose, throat, skin, thyroid, neurological, lungs, cardiovascular, abdomen (liver and spleen), lymph nodes and extremities.

    Measured: Physical examination was performed at pre-defined timepoints from the screening visit until the end-of- study visit, an average of 10 days in Part I (SAD) and 20 days in Part II (MAD).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GS-248 in people with Healthy, run by Gesynta Pharma AB at 1 site in Sweden.

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 6 inclusion and 25 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 11 Oct 2023. 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 Sweden. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Sep 2023). 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 Treatment Related Adverse Events (time frame: AEs were collected from the start of IMP administration until the end-of-study visit of each part, an average of 10 days in Part 1 (SAD) and 20 days in Part 2 (MAD).). 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?
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 11 Oct 2023.
