A Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Single and Repeat Doses of RV6153
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
RV6153 is a new medicine being developed for possible treatment of asthma and smoking related lung disease (also known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - COPD).
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single and repeat doses of RV6153

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Safety and tolerability of single and repeat doses assessed by incidence of treatment emergent adverse events [Up to 29 days post final dose]
Assessment of the number of adverse events reported by subjects following dosing
- Safety and tolerability of single and repeat doses assessed by ECG (12-lead ECG) [Up to 29 days post final dose]
12-lead ECGs will be obtained using an ECG machine that automatically calculates heart rate and measures PR, QRS, QT, and QTcB/QTcF intervals. ECGs will be measured after resting for 5 minutes
- Safety and tolerability of single and repeat doses assessed by vital sign measurement (blood pressure & heart rate) [Up to 29 days post final dose]
Blood pressure heart rate will be assessed together using an automated device after resting for 5 minutes. Blood pressure will include systolic and diastolic measurements.
- Safety and tolerability of single and repeat doses assessed by respiration rate [Up to 29 days post final dose]
Respiration rate will be measured after resting for 5 minutes
- Safety and tolerability of single and repeat doses assessed by temperature [Up to 29 days post final dose]
Temperature will be measured orally
- Safety and tolerability of single and repeat doses assessed by spirometry [Up to 29 days post final dose]
Pulmonary function test measured from forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1). Pulmonary function test will be repeated until three technically acceptable measurements have been made.
- Safety and tolerability of single and repeat doses by assessment of clinical laboratory tests [Up to 29 days post final dose]
Clinical laboratory tests include haematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis and additional parameters
- Pharmacodynamic (PD) effect of repeat doses of RV6153 assessed by sputum cell biomarkers [Cohort 13 (subjects who smoke) only - assessments at screening and Days 1, 7 & 14]
Sputum samples will be collected to evaluate PD effects of repeat doses of RV6153 by assessment of phosphatidylinositol biphosphate (PIP2) and phosphatidylinositol triphosphate (PIP3).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Plasma RV6153 levels [Cohorts 1-9: Day 1, 10 samples, Days 2,8,15&29, 1 sample per day; Cohorts 10, 12 & 13: Days 1,7&14, 10 samples per day, Days 2,8-13,1,21,28&42, 1 sample per day; Cohort 11: Days 1,14&28, 10 samples per day, Days 7,21,26,27,29,35,42&56, 1 sample per day]
Other Outcome Measures
- Sputum markers of inflammation [Cohort 13 (subjects who smoke) only - assessments at screening and Days 1, 7 & 14]
Sputum samples will be collected to evaluate effects on inflammation by assessment of myeloperoxidase, IL-6, IL-8, TNF alpha and other exploratory parameters
