About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Randomized Three Period Cross-over Relative Bioavailability Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetic Parameters of a Lower Dose Formulation of Ambrisentan (GSK1325760) With Marketed Ambrisentan in Healthy Adult Participants

This is a single center, open-label, randomized, single-dose, three-period cross-over study in healthy participants. The aim of this study is to provide clinically relevant information on the pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety profile of a new lower dose formulation ambrisentan (AMB) tablet, which is intended for pediatric use. The study will compare the relative bioavailability of the lower dose tablet, dispersed in water and administered orally, with the reference marketed AMB tablet in healthy adults. The total study duration for each participant is expected to be approximately 9 weeks.

Being tested

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Non-Serious Adverse Events (Non-SAEs >=2%)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Any untoward event resulting in death, life threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, any other situation according to medical or scientific judgment were categorized as SAE.

    Measured: Up to 40 days

  2. Number of Participants With Worst Case Vital Sign Results Relative to Potential Clinical Importance (PCI) Criteria Post-Baseline Relative to Baseline

    Vital signs were measured in semi-supine position after 5 minutes rest and included Systolic blood pressure (SBP), Diastolic blood pressure (DBP), Heart rate (HR). Data for number of participants with Post-Baseline worst case Vital Sign results relative to PCI Criteria relative to Baseline has been presented. Participants are counted in worst case category that their value changes to low, within range or high. Participants whose value category was unchanged (e.g., High to High), or whose value became within range, are recorded in "Within Range or No Change" category. Participants are counted twice if values changed 'To Low' and 'To High', so the percentages are not added to 100%. Participants with missing baseline value are assumed as within range value. PCI ranges were: SBP [lower: <85, upper: >160 millimeter of mercury (mmHg)]; DBP (lower: <40, upper: >110 mmHg); HR (lower: <45, upper: >100 beats per minute). The value at Day 1 was considered as Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and up to 40 days

  3. Number of Participants With Worst Case Post-Baseline Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings

    12-lead ECGs were recorded in semi-supine position after 5 minutes rest using an ECG machine that automatically calculated the heart rate and measured PR, QRS, QT and QT duration corrected for heart rate by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) intervals. Data for number of participants with abnormal clinically significant ECG findings for worst case post-Baseline has been presented. Clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings are those which are not associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant's condition. The value at Day 1 was considered as Baseline.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and up to 40 days

  4. Number of Participants With Worst Case Hematology Results Relative to PCI Criteria Post-Baseline Relative to Baseline

    Blood samples were collected to analyze hemoglobin, hematocrit, lymphocytes, total neutrophils, platelet count, and white blood cell(WBC) counts. PCI ranges were hematocrit (high: >0.54 proportion of red blood cells in blood and low: change from Baseline <0.075); hemoglobin(high: >180 grams per liter[g/L] and low: change from Baseline <25 g/L); lymphocytes (low: <0.8 Giga cells per liter[GI/L]); platelet count (low: <100 GI/L and high: >550 GI/L); neutrophil count (low: <1.5 GI/L); WBC count (low: <3 GI/L and high: >20 GI/L). Participants were counted in worst-case category that their value changed to low, within range or no change, or high unless there was no change in their category. Participants whose value category was unchanged (e.g., High to High), or whose value became within range, were recorded in ''To within Range or No Change' category. Participants were counted twice if participant had both values that changed 'To Low' and 'To High'. Baseline is defined as Day -1.

    Measured: Baseline (Day -1) and up to 40 days

  5. Number of Participants With Worst Case Clinical Chemistry Results Relative to PCI Criteria Post-Baseline Relative to Baseline

    Blood samples were collected to analyze PCI ranges for aspartate amino transferase (AST), alanine amino transferase (ALT), \& alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (high: >=2 times (*) upper limit of normal [ULN] International units per liter [IU/L]); bilirubin (high: >=1.5 * ULN micromoles per liter [µmol/L]); calcium (low: <2 millimoles per liter [mmol/L] \& high: >2.75 mmol/L); glucose (low: <3 \& high: >9 mmol/L); potassium (low: <3 \& high: >5.5 mmol/L); sodium (low: <130 \& high: >150 mmol/L) \& Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) (high: >=2 * ULN µmol/L). Participants were counted in worst-case category that their value changed to (low, within range or no change, or high) unless there was no change in their category. Participants whose value category was unchanged (e.g., High to High), or whose value became within range, were recorded in the 'To within Range or No Change' category. Participants were counted twice if participant had both values that changed 'To Low' \& 'To High'.

    Measured: Baseline (Day -1) and up to 40 days

  6. Number of Participants With Worst Case Any Increase in Urinalysis Results Post-Baseline Relative to Baseline

    Urine samples were collected for analysis of cellular casts, granular casts, hyaline casts and red blood cells. WBCs were counted as cells per high-power field (cells/HPF). Participants with worst case any increase in urinalysis results post-Baseline relative to Baseline has been presented. Baseline is defined as Day -1.

    Measured: Baseline (Day -1) and up to 40 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AMB new formulation (1 mg) and Reference AMB (5 mg) in people with Hypertension, Pulmonary, 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 8 inclusion and 20 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 6 Aug 2020. 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. 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 6 Aug 2020). 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?

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) After Administration of AMB Under Fasted Condition (time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hours post-dose). 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?
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 6 Aug 2020.
