Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in the Diffusing Capacity of the Lung for Carbon Monoxide (DLco) on Pulmonary Gas Transfer (Site: Mayo)
Baseline, Day 4, Day 5 and Day 7 of each treatment period

DLco is a measure of the ability of a gas to transfer from alveoli across the alveolar epithelium and capillary endothelium to the red blood cells. Changes in DLco reflect the alveolar-capillary membrane conductance. Acute pulmonary congestion causes a reduction in DLco. In participants with heart failure, decrease in DLco serves as a predictor of disease progression. An impairment in the diffusing capacity of the lung may be related to symptoms and exercise intolerance associated with heart failure. DLco was measured just prior to and after the 3- minute step test on Days -1, and 7 and just prior to and after an intravenous saline infusion on Day 5. Day -1 was Baseline and change from Baseline was calculated from Day -1 pre-exercise of the respective period, except when calculating the post-infusion change from Baseline, where the pre-infusion value was used as Baseline. Data of DLco (milliliter per millimeter of mercury per minute \[mL/mmHg/min\]) for Mayo site is presented.

Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
GSK2798745 and PlaceboEXPERIMENTALEach subject will be randomized to receive GSK2798745 2.4 milligrams (mg) and Placebo once daily for 7 days, each in one of the two treatment periods. Two treatment periods will be separated by a 14-day washout period.
Cohort 1EXPERIMENTALEight subjects will be randomized to 1 of 4 placebo-controlled dose sequences with 2 subjects in each sequence and each subject having four dose periods (3 active dose of GSK2798745 + 1 placebo dose). GSK2798745 will be administered in a liquid form (suspension or solution) in this cohort. In each treatment period, the subjects will be fasting from the prior midnight to four hours post-dose (Day 1).
Cohort 2EXPERIMENTALTwelve subjects will receive GSK2798745 in three single-dose treatment periods in a fixed sequence. The actual dose-selected will be determined based on review of emerging safety and exposure data from Cohort 1. The dosing will be done in 3 study periods for investigating bioavailability and food effects. In Period 1, subjects will be fasting from midnight to four hours post-dose and will receive GSK2798745 in a liquid form (suspension or solution). In Period 2, subjects will be fasting from midnight to four hours post-dose and will receive a capsule formulation of GSK2798745. In Period 3, subjects will receive GSK2798745 capsule following a standard high fat/high calorie meal.
Cohort 3EXPERIMENTALSixteen subjects will be randomized to 2 repeat dose cohorts with 8 subjects in each cohort in a ratio of 6:2 (treatments: placebo). Food intake timing will be determined based on data from Cohorts 1 and 2 (if Cohort 2 is conducted before Cohort 3). Doses will be administered once daily from Day 1 through Day14. Based on data from Cohort 1, the second dose in the repeat-dose period may be skipped to estimate the time invariance in PK. Dosing may be altered to twice daily based on the results obtained in the initial study cohort. Subjects will be fasted from midnight to 4 hours after dosing on Day 1 and Day 14 that entail serial PK sampling. Meal timings on other days will be based on previous cohort data.
Cohort 4EXPERIMENTALEighteen stable HF subjects will be randomized in this cohort with a treatment:placebo ratio of 1:1. If required, an additional number of subjects (up to 24 total) will be randomized. An additional separate dose group of approximately 18 to 24 subjects may be randomized to GSK2798745 or placebo to gain additional safety, tolerability,pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic information, if needed. The subjects will receive GSK2798745 in a single dose (at least the first 6 subjects) followed by a 7 -days repeat dose. Based on data from the cohorts 1, 2 and 3, the dose will be 2.4 mg (initial) in the first group utilizing the capsule formulation administered with or without food.
Cohort 5EXPERIMENTALEight HF subjects will be randomized in this cohort with a treatment: placebo ratio of 3:1. This cohort will evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, and lung permeability (DLco and DLno) in a boarder, more general population of patients with HF, NYHA Class II or III. Subjects will receive GSK2798745 or placebo (based on randomization) for 7 days. The dose will be 2.4 mg utilizing the capsule formulation administered with or without food. Subjects will remain in house from Day -1 until Day 4 and be fitted with a remote monitoring device; Day 5, 6 and 8 visits will be in home (on Days 5 and 6, they will receive study medication, collect samples for pharmacokinetic analysis, and assess vital signs); and subjects will return to the clinic for Day 7 visit.

GSK2798745 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of pulmonary edema and heart failure. It is being developed by GSK plc for cardiovascular conditions, specifically targeting fluid accumulation in the lungs associated with heart failure.

What does GSK2798745 target?

GSK2798745 targets the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channel, acting as a channel blocker. TRPV4 is involved in regulating fluid balance and vascular permeability, making it a relevant target for conditions like pulmonary edema and heart failure.

Who makes GSK2798745?

GSK2798745 is being developed by GSK plc, a global biopharmaceutical company listed on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker GSK. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in patients with heart failure and pulmonary edema.

What phase is GSK2798745 in?

GSK2798745 is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not been approved by regulatory authorities and is still undergoing clinical trials to assess its safety and effectiveness in treating pulmonary edema and heart failure.

What clinical trials is GSK2798745 in?

GSK2798745 has been studied in two completed Phase 2 trials. NCT02119260 evaluated safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics in healthy subjects and stable heart failure patients in the United Kingdom. NCT02497937 assessed its effect on pulmonary gas transfer and respiration in patients with congestive heart failure in the United States.

Is GSK2798745 the same as TRPV4 blocker?

GSK2798745 is a TRPV4 channel blocker, but it is not the same as other TRPV4 blockers. It is a specific investigational compound developed by GSK plc, and its unique chemical structure and properties distinguish it from other drugs in the same class.
