Clinical Trial Summary

GSK2798745 is a potent and selective transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channel blocker being investigated for the treatment of chronic cough. This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, two-period crossover study with a purpose to evaluate efficacy and safety of GSK2798745. Each subject will have 2 treatment periods, and will be randomized to one of the following treatments in each period: A) Placebo matching to GSK2798745 once daily for 7 days. B) 4.8 milligrams (mg) GSK2798745 on Day 1, followed by 2.4 mg GSK2798745 once daily for 6 days. There will be a washout period of 14 to 21 days between the treatment periods. A maximum of 48 subjects will be enrolled in the study and the total duration of participation in the study will be maximum of 10 and a half weeks including follow-up visit.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Total Cough Counts During Day Time Hours Following 7-days of Dosing	Coughs were monitored using the VitaloJAK cough monitor. The total cough counts during day-time (10 hours) was calculated from the time of the monitor being attached i.e. immediately after dosing on Day 7 to 10 hours past the time of monitoring. Total cough counts were log-transformed prior to analysis. A non-informative prior was used. Analysis was performed using a Bayesian mixed model adjusting for subject-level and period-adjusted baselines, treatment and period. Subject-level baseline is defined as the mean of the two period-specific baselines. Period-adjusted baseline is defined as the difference between the period-specific baseline and subject-level baseline for each period. Posterior median and 95% credible interval is reported. All Subjects Population included all randomized participants who took at least 1 dose of study treatment. Participants were analyzed according to the treatment they actually received.
