A Single Oral Escalating Dose Study of GSK2140944 in Healthy Volunteers
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
GSK2140944 belongs to the Bacterial Type II Topoisomerase Inhibitor (BTI) class of antibiotics. GSK2140944 has demonstrated in vitro and in vivo activity against Gram positive including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Gram-negative pathogens associated with respiratory tract, skin and soft tissue infections including isolates resistant to existing classes of antimicrobials. This is a First Time in Human (FTIH) study to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single oral doses of GSK2140944 in healthy volunteers. This study will be a single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-rising study in healthy subjects. The proposed single doses will range from 100 mg to 3000 mg.

Detailed Description
GSK2140944 belongs to the Bacterial Type II Topoisomerase Inhibitor (BTI) class of antibiotics which is being developed for treatment of Gram positive [including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)] and Gram-negative pathogens associated with respiratory tract and skin and soft tissue infections including isolates resistant to existing classes of antimicrobials.
Study BTZ114595 will be the first administration of GSK2140944 in humans. This study will examine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of escalating single oral doses of GSK2140944. The predicted clinical target for efficacy, based on preclinical efficacy models, is an AUC(0-24) of 16-30 μg.h/mL. This study aims to explore the safety and tolerability at and above target exposures in order to establish a therapeutic window for this compound.
This study will investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of escalating single oral doses of GSK2140944.
This will be a randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind study to determine safety, tolerability, and single dose pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of GSK2140944 in healthy subjects.
The projected single escalating doses of GSK2140944 will range from a starting dose of 100 mg to a maximum dose of 3000 mg. The current plan is to administer the study drug after an overnight fast, but based on emerging PK and safety data, it may be necessary to administer the study drug under fed state to better understand safety, tolerability or PK of GSK2140944. Any decision to remove or modify fasting requirements will be made by the GSK Study Team and the investigator based on joint review of the emerging safety, tolerability and preliminary pharmacokinetic data from prior dose-levels.

Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin ≤ 1.5xULN (isolated bilirubin >1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%)
-
Healthy as determined by a responsible and experienced physician, based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and cardiac monitoring. A subject with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameters outside the reference range for the population being studied may be included only if the Investigator and the GSK Medical Monitor agree that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures.
-
Male or female ranging from 18 to 60 years of age, at the time of signing the informed consent. Female subject must be of non-childbearing potential defined as pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea [in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) > 40 MlU/ml and estradiol < 40 pg/mL (<147 pmol/L) is confirmatory]. Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the contraception methods in Section 8.1 if they wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of post-menopausal status prior to study enrollment. For most forms of HRT, at least 2-4 weeks will elapse between the cessation of therapy and the blood draw; this interval depends on the type and dosage of HRT. Following confirmation of their post-menopausal status, they can resume use of HRT during the study without use of a contraceptive method.
