Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The drug effects will be studied after a single dose of 50 milligram (mg) albiglutide and a single dose of 10 microgram exenatide, to gain insight into the central mechanisms of nausea associated with Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists. This study will explore the potential differences at the expected time of maximum concentration (Cmax) between a long-acting (albiglutide) and short-acting (exenatide) GLP-1R agonist in brain activation of healthy volunteers assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This is a phase IV, 2-part, 2-period crossover (session), single dose, randomized, single blind (blinded to both the subject and the imaging evaluators analysing the MRI data), placebo- and active-controlled study in adult healthy volunteers who are susceptible to motion sickness. Part A and Part B are the same in design, both consisting of a screening stage, a dosing/assessment stage, and a follow-up visit. Data from Part A will inform progression, methods, and analysis plan for Part B. Each sequence includes three scanning visits: albiglutide plus scan, exenatide plus scan and an off-therapy -natural history scan with a 6-9 week washout period between the dosing scans. A total of 24 to 28 subjects will be randomized in the study (Part A and Part B). The cross over design is divided into 2 sessions and schedule is as follow, on Day 1 (either Session 1 (S1) or Session 2 (S2) per, if randomized) subject will under go an off-therapy MRI scan, on Day 5 subject will receive a single dose of 50 mg albiglutide or albiglutide placebo, and Day 8 subject will receive a single dose of 10 microgram exenatide or saline placebo followed by a post-dose MRI scan. At each session subject will receive only one active drug (albiglutide or exenatide).

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details This crossover study conducted in adult healthy volunteers who were susceptible to motion sickness to explore regional brain activity and connectivity associated with treatment using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Participants were randomized to receive single dose of 50milligram (mg) albiglutide and 10microgram (µg) exenatide along with placebo
Pre-assignment Detail A total of 10 participants were screened, of which 6 were screen-failures and 4 were randomized. Participants from United States site were part of the study. This was a 2-part study; however, study was terminated early due to portfolio strategic reason and only Part A was completed.

Arm/Group Description Participants underwent off-therapy MRI on Day 1 then received albiglutide 50 mg on Day 5 followed by exenatide matching placebo on Day 8 during Session 1. Post-dose MRI was conducted following exenatide placebo on Day 8 in session 1. There was a wash-out period of 6-9 weeks between the two sessions. In Session 2 participants received albiglutide matching placebo on Day 1 followed by 10 µg of exenatide on Day 4. Post-dose MRI was conducted following exenatide dose on Day 4 in session 2. Placebo was used to enable albiglutide and exenatide to be dosed at different times relative to MRI due to differences in Tmax, while preserving single-blind. Hence, post-exenatide placebo MRI served as the post-albiglutide MRI in this study, to preserve the study blinding and to allow albiglutide sufficient time to reach Tmax.

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
Safety Population. Only participants present at specific time points were analyzed. Placebo was planned to be used to enable albiglutide and exenatide to be dosed at different times relative to MRI due to differences in Tmax, for preserving single-blind (like double dummy), hence data was reported in albiglutide, exenatide and off-therapy arms only
Arm/Group Title Albiglutide 50 mg Exenatide 10 µg Off-therapy MRI Arm Off-therapy Visit
Arm/Group Description Participants received albiglutide 50 mg on Day 5 and exenatide placebo on Day 8 or albiglutide 50 mg on Day 1 and exenatide placebo on Day 4 during session 1 or 2 as per randomization. The timing of the albiglutide dose and post-dose MRI were based on the Tmax of albiglutide. Hence, the Day 4 and Day 8 post dose MRI served as the post-albiglutide dose MRI in this study and the exenatide placebo served to preserve the study blinding. Participants received albiglutide matching placebo on Day 5 and exenatide 10 μg on Day 8 or albiglutide matching placebo on Day 1 and exenatide 10 μg on Day 4 during session 1 or 2 as per randomization schedule. The timing of the exenatide dose and post-dose MRI were based on the Tmax of exentatide. Hence, the Day 4 and Day 8 post dose MRI served as the post exenatide dose MRI and the albiglutide matching placebo served to preserve the study blind. Participants underwent single off-therapy MRI on Day 1 of session 1 or session 2 as per randomization schedule. Off-therapy scans served as natural history scan with a 6-9 week washout period between the dosing scans. Participants did not undergo MRI on off-therapy visit on Day 5. Participants had out-patient visit on Day 5 for assessment of vital signs. They did not undergo MRI on off-therapy visit on Day 5.

Hence, the Day 4 and Day 8 post dose MRI served as the post-albiglutide dose MRI in this study and the exenatide placebo served to preserve the study blinding. Participants received albiglutide matching placebo on Day 5 and exenatide 10 μg on Day 8 or albiglutide matching placebo on Day 1 and exenatide 10 μg on Day 4 during session 1 or 2 as per randomization schedule. The timing of the exenatide dose and post-dose MRI were based on the Tmax of exentatide. Hence, the Day 4 and Day 8 post dose MRI served as the post exenatide dose MRI and the albiglutide matching placebo served to preserve the study blind. Participants underwent off-therapy MRI. Off-therapy scans served as natural history scan with a 6-9 week washout period between the dosing scans.

19. Secondary Outcome
Title Gastrointestinal (GI) Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Assessment of Nausea for Session 1
Description Participant completed VAS to record their perception of stomach fullness, hunger, nausea, bloating and abdominal pain. The VAS was represented by lines, 100 millimeter in length, anchored with words describing the most negative rating on the left and the most positive rating on the right. Scores ranged from 0 mm to 100 mm. Scores of 0 mm are worst (most negative rating on the left) and scores of 100 mm are best (most positive rating on the right). NA indicates that data were not available as standard deviation could not be calculated due to low number of participants.

Adverse Events

Time Frame Serious adverse events (SAEs) and non-serious adverse events (AEs) were collected from the start of study treatment up to Week 13.
Adverse Event Reporting Description SAEs and Non-serious AEs for participants of Safety Population were reported. AEs data was reported per Intervention.
Arm/Group Title Albiglutide 50 mg Exenatide 10 µg Albiglutide Matching Placebo Exenatide Matching Placebo
Arm/Group Description Participants received albiglutide 50 mg on Day 5 and exenatide placebo on Day 8 or albiglutide 50 mg on Day 1 and exenatide placebo on Day 4 during session 1 or 2 as per randomization. The timing of the albiglutide dose and post-dose MRI were based on the Tmax of albiglutide. Hence, the Day 4 and Day 8 post dose MRI served as the post-albiglutide dose MRI in this study and the exenatide placebo served to preserve the study blinding. Participants received albiglutide matching placebo on Day 5 and exenatide 10 μg on Day 8 or albiglutide matching placebo on Day 1 and exenatide 10 μg on Day 4 during session 1 or 2 as per randomization schedule. The timing of the exenatide dose and post-dose MRI were based on the Tmax of exentatide. Hence, the Day 4 and Day 8 post dose MRI served as the post exenatide dose MRI and the albiglutide matching placebo served to preserve the study blind. Participants in Session 1 received albiglutide matching placebo on Day 1 and during Session 2 participants received albiglutide matching placebo on Day 5. There was a wash-out period of 6-9 weeks between the two sessions. Participants in Session 1 received exenatide matching placebo on Day 4 and during Session 2 participants received exenatide matching placebo on Day 8. There was a wash-out period of 6-9 weeks between the two sessions.
