A Three-part Study to Determine the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of GSK1322322 in Healthy Volunteers and Healthy Male Japanese Subjects

• Status: Terminated
• Trial end date: 2013-10-18
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of GSK1322322 following intravenous (IV) and oral administration. GSK1322322 shows broad spectrum antibacterial activity against pathogens involved in respiratory tract infections as well as methicillin-resistant S. Aureus (MRSA).

This study consists of three parts (Part A, Part B and Part C). The results from Part A of this study will enable use of large-scale, commercial tablets produced for administration to patients in pivotal clinical trials of GSK1322322. The results from Parts B and C will support enrolment of Japanese subjects in future clinical studies. Additionally, the results will support the dose selection for further clinical development of GSK1322322 in hospitalized patients with severe bacterial infections in Japan and other Asian populations.

In Part A, subjects will undergo screening, 4 treatment periods receiving single dose of each of: 1500 mg Initial, fit-for-purpose tablet (product code AP), 1500 mg Over granulated tablet (product code AR), and the 1500 mg and 2000 mg of intended commercial tablets (product code AU).

In Part B of the study subjects will undergo screening, and be randomized to receive 3 doses of GSK1322322 oral cohort (100 mg, 1500 mg and 2000 mg) or IV cohort (600 mg, 900 mg and 1200 mg) each in 3 treatment periods.

Part C will be a single-blind, placebo-controlled, repeat dose study of GSK1322322 in healthy Japanese male subjects. GSK1322322 will be administered (fasted) via IV for 4 days BID, followed by administration of GSK1322322 orally (fed) for 6 days BID. A follow-up evaluation will be conducted 7-10 days following last dose of for each subjects in each Part of the study.

Approximately 12 subjects will be enrolled in each part of the study such that approximately 8, 6, and 9 subjects complete dosing and critical assessments in part A,B, and C respectively.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin <=1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (isolated bilirubin >1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%) at screening and check in.

• Healthy as determined by a responsible and experienced physician, based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and ECGs. A subject with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameters outside the reference range for the population being studied may be included at the discretion of the Investigator only if the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures.

• Part A: Male or female (of non childbearing potential) between 18 and 65 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.

• Part A: 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 amenorrhea [in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) >40 milli international unit (MlU)/milliliter (mL) and estradiol <40 picogram [pg]/mL (<147 picomoles [pmol]/litre [L]) is confirmatory].

• Part B and C: 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 should also have lived outside Japan for less than 10 years. Subjects should consume a typical Japanese diet on a regular basis.

• Parts B and C: Males between 20 and 65 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.

• 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 the final follow up visit.

• Body weight >=45.0 kilograms and body mass index (BMI) within the range 18.5 to 29.9 kg/meter^2 (inclusive).

• Capable of giving written informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form.

• QT duration corrected for heart rate by Bazett's formula (QTcB) <=450 millisecond (msec); or QTcB < 480 msec in subjects with Bundle Branch Block on Screening ECG.

Exclusion Criteria

• A positive pre-study Hepatitis B surface antigen, positive Hepatitis C antibody, a positive test for human immune virus (HIV) antibody result within 3 months of screening.

• Current or chronic history of liver disease, or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones).

• A positive pre-study drug/alcohol screen.

• History of regular alcohol consumption within 6 months of the study defined as an average weekly intake of >21 units for males. One unit is equivalent to 10 gram (g) of alcohol: 270 mL of full strength beer (4.8%), 375mL of mid strength beer (3.5%), 470mL of light beer (2.7%), 250mL pre-mix full strength spirit (5%), 100mL of wine (13.5%) and 30mL of spirit (40%).

• The subject has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigational product within the following time period prior to the first dosing day in the current study: 30 days, 5 half-lives or twice the duration of the biological effect of the investigational product (whichever is longer).
