Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Part 1: Area Under the Concentration-time Curve (AUC) From Time Zero Time (Pre-dose) to the Time of Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC[0-t]) of Levocetirizine
Pre-dose and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 hours post-dose

Blood samples were collected to measure AUC(0-t) at indicated time-points. AUC(0-t) was calculated by the linear trapezoidal method (i.e., Linear Trapezoidal Linear Interpolation calculation method in Phoenix WinNonlin).

Part 2: AUC(0-t) of Levocetirizine
Pre-dose and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 hours post-dose

Blood samples were collected to measure AUC(0-t) at indicated time-points. AUC(0-t) was calculated by the linear trapezoidal method (i.e., Linear Trapezoidal Linear Interpolation calculation method in Phoenix WinNonlin).

Part 1: Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of Levocetirizine
Pre-dose and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 hours post-dose

Blood samples were collected at indicated time points for analysis of Cmax. The values for Cmax were obtained directly from the concentration-time data.

Part 2: Cmax of Levocetirizine
Pre-dose and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 hours post-dose

Blood samples were collected at indicated time points for analysis of Cmax. The values for Cmax were obtained directly from the concentration-time data.

Secondary Endpoints

Part 1: Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Zero Time (Pre-dose) Extrapolated to Infinite Time AUC(0-inf) of Levocetirizine
Pre-dose and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose
Part 2: AUC(0-inf) of Levocetirizine
Pre-dose and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose
Part 1: Time to First Occurrence of Cmax (Tmax) of Levocetirizine
Pre-dose and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 24, 36 and 48 hours post-dose

Frequently asked questions about Levocetirizine IRT

What is Levocetirizine IRT?

Levocetirizine IRT is an immediate release tablet formulation of levocetirizine, a small molecule drug being developed by GSK plc for rhinitis. It is an investigational product in Phase 1 clinical development. Levocetirizine IRT is also known as Levocetirizine IRT 5 mg.

What is Levocetirizine IRT used for?

Levocetirizine IRT is being developed for the treatment of rhinitis. The clinical program lists rhinitis as the condition under study. It is an investigational formulation and has not been established as an approved treatment based on the available development information.

What does Levocetirizine IRT target?

Levocetirizine IRT targets HRH1, the histamine H1 receptor, and acts as an antagonist at this receptor. By blocking HRH1, the drug is designed to interfere with histamine signaling, which is relevant to allergic conditions such as rhinitis.

Who makes Levocetirizine IRT?

Levocetirizine IRT is being developed by GSK plc, which trades under the ticker GSK. GSK is the sponsor associated with the clinical development program for this immediate release tablet formulation of levocetirizine.

What phase is Levocetirizine IRT in?

Levocetirizine IRT is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and is not described as FDA approved. The development program includes one completed Phase 1 trial, and no active trials are currently listed for this asset.

What clinical trials is Levocetirizine IRT in?

Levocetirizine IRT has been studied in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT03555890, titled a bioequivalence study between levocetirizine oral disintegrating tablet and levocetirizine immediate release tablet. The trial enrolled 72 healthy male volunteers in Japan, was randomized and controlled, and did not use blinding.
