Frequently asked questions about GSK189254

What is GSK189254 used for?

GSK189254 is an investigational small molecule being studied for hyperalgesia, a condition of heightened pain sensitivity. It was evaluated in a Phase 1 trial that used an electrical hyperalgesia model in healthy volunteers. It is not an approved medicine and remains in clinical development for pain-related research.

What does GSK189254 target?

GSK189254 targets HRH3, the histamine H3 receptor, and acts as an antagonist at that receptor. By blocking HRH3, the compound is designed to modulate histamine signaling relevant to pain processing. This mechanism underlies its investigation in hyperalgesia within the pain therapeutic area.

Who is developing GSK189254?

GSK189254 is developed by GSK plc, the British pharmaceutical company listed under the ticker GSK. GSK sponsored the clinical research on the compound, including the Phase 1 study conducted in the United Kingdom. The asset sits within GSK's pain research portfolio.

What phase is GSK189254 in?

GSK189254 is in Phase 1 clinical development. Its single recorded trial, NCT00387413, was a completed Phase 1 study. The drug is investigational and has not been approved for any indication. No active trials are currently listed for this asset.

What clinical trials is GSK189254 in?

GSK189254 has been studied in one clinical trial, NCT00387413, titled A Study Of GSK189254 And Duloxetine In The Electrical Hyperalgesia Model Of Healthy Volunteers. The Phase 1 trial enrolled 40 healthy adult participants in the United Kingdom, was randomized and controlled, and has completed.
