Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Visual Analog Scales (VAS) to measure the change in tinnitus loudness as perceived at the moment of the measurement at 2 hrs after dosing (or at any other time point vs. pre-dose baseline).
2 hrs after dosing (or at any other time point vs. pre-dose baseline).
To assess, by mean of Positron Emission Tomography, the degree of regional Cerebral Blood Flow in different brain regions involved in the emotional brain circuit during public speaking task before treatment and after eight weeks of treatment.
Change in score on a Social Anxiety Disorder rating scale following 12 weeks of treatment.

Secondary Endpoints

VAS to measure tinnitus pitch, distress and anxiety. Pure Tone Audiometry & Psychoacoustic assessment. Sleep & Tinnitus questionnaires. Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of drug.
perceived at the moment of the measurement at 2 hrs after dosing (or at any other time point vs. pre-dose baseline).
To assess symptomatic and physiological measures of anxiety induced by the public speaking task and social anxiety symptoms during eight weeks of treatment. To evaluate safety, tolerability and the effect on sexual function of treatment.
Change in score on a number of rating scales following 12 weeks of treatment assessing symptomatic, behavioural and functional parameters which together provide a more complete description of the disorder.

Frequently asked questions about vestipitant/paroxetine

What is vestipitant/paroxetine?

Vestipitant/paroxetine is an investigational combination therapy developed by GSK plc for psychiatric conditions. It pairs vestipitant, a small-molecule TACR1 antagonist, with paroxetine, an antidepressant. The combination has been studied in Phase 2 trials for social phobia, tinnitus with hearing loss, and depressive and anxiety disorders.

What is vestipitant/paroxetine used for?

Vestipitant/paroxetine has been studied in clinical trials for social phobia, tinnitus with hearing loss, and depressive and anxiety disorders. It is an investigational combination and is not an approved treatment. All reported studies were Phase 2 trials that have been completed.

What does vestipitant/paroxetine target?

Vestipitant, the novel component of the combination, targets TACR1, the neurokinin 1 receptor, and acts as an antagonist. Paroxetine is an antidepressant component of the combination. The TACR1 antagonist mechanism is intended to complement paroxetine in treating psychiatric conditions such as social phobia and anxiety disorders.

Who makes vestipitant/paroxetine?

GSK plc, which trades under the ticker GSK, is the developer of the vestipitant/paroxetine combination. The company sponsored the Phase 2 clinical trials evaluating the combination in social phobia, tinnitus with hearing loss, and depressive and anxiety disorders.

What phase is vestipitant/paroxetine in?

Vestipitant/paroxetine is in Phase 2 development. It is an investigational combination therapy and has not been approved by the FDA. All three reported clinical trials of the combination were Phase 2 studies, and all have been completed.

What clinical trials is vestipitant/paroxetine in?

Three completed Phase 2 trials have evaluated vestipitant/paroxetine: NCT00403962 in social anxiety disorder with 204 patients across Denmark, Germany, Norway, and South Africa; NCT00394056 in tinnitus and hearing loss with 26 patients in the United Kingdom; and NCT00343707, a PET and public speaking study in social anxiety patients in Sweden.

Is vestipitant/paroxetine the same as vestipitant?

Vestipitant/paroxetine is a combination of vestipitant and paroxetine, so it is not the same as vestipitant alone. Vestipitant is the TACR1 antagonist component, and paroxetine is the antidepressant component. Trials have studied both vestipitant alone and the vestipitant/paroxetine combination.
