Filter by:Cefixime is an orally active third generation cephalosporin indicated for the treatment of acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, acute otitis media, uncomplicated acute cystitis and uncomplicated pyelonephritis. Cefixime acts by inhibiting the action of proteins involved in the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, which leads to bacterial cell lysis and cell death. Due to lack of bioequivalence between tablet/capsule and suspension formulation of cefixime, consideration needs to be given if the oral suspension is to be substituted for the tablet/capsule. This study is designed to assess whether test SKF101804 cefixime 400 milligrams (mg) capsule is bioequivalent to reference cefixime 400 mg capsule under fasting conditions in healthy adults. Subjects will be randomized in crossover manner to receive single oral doses of treatment A (SKF101804 cefixime test capsules) and treatment B (reference cefixime capsules), followed by a washout period of 7-14 days. Approximately 26 subjects will be included in the study and total duration in the study for each subject will be approximately 5 to 7 weeks.
This study is being conducted to confirm that GSK1322322 has no negative impact on hormone levels and contraceptive efficacy when co-administered with a frequently prescribed oral contraceptive thereby to facilitate the use of GSK1322322 in women of child-bearing potential receiving oral contraceptive (OC) pre-infection. This study is designed to investigate steady-state plasma ethinyl estradiol (EE) and norethindrone (NE) pharmacokinetic (PK) following administration of Ortho-Novum (EE/NE) 1 tablet every 24 hours (q24h) fed with and without GSK1322322 1500 milligram (mg) q12h fed. Each subject will participate in the study for approximately 12 weeks: a 30 day screening period, 4-week run-in period, three 7 day treatment periods, and a 3-5 day follow-up period. The study is planned to enroll approximately 24 subjects (18 active/6 placebo).
This is a randomized, partially-blinded, placebo and moxifloxacin-controlled, single dose, 4-period, balanced crossover study. The primary objective of this study is to separately assess the effects of a therapeutic and supratherapeutic dose of GSK1322322 on the cardiac conduction (corrected QT interval [QTc]) compared with placebo in eligible healthy male and female subjects. Avelox (moxifloxacin hydrochloride) will be used as an open-label positive control in order to validate the sensitivity of the study in detecting QTc change. Approximately 56 healthy subjects will participate in the study for approximately 9 weeks i.e. 30 day Screening period, 4-week Treatment period, and a 7-10 day Follow-up period. There will be 4 treatment periods separated by at least 1 week. Subjects will be admitted to the clinical unit on Day -1 of each dosing period. Each subject will receive each of the four treatment sequences (GSK1322322 1200 milligram [mg] intravenous [IV] over 60 minutes x 1 dose, GSK1322322 3000 mg IV over 60 minutes x 1 dose, GSK1322322 Placebo IV over 60 minutes x 1 dose, moxifloxacin 400 mg administered orally x 1 dose) on Day 1 of each Treatment period in a randomized fashion. Twelve-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), continuous Holter monitoring, laboratory tests, vital sign measurements, and serial pharmacokinetic samples will be collected for up to 24 hours following each treatment. If no clinically significant abnormalities are noted, subjects will be discharged from the clinical research unit after the completion of all assessments on Day 2 in each period and return approximately one week later for the next dosing period. Each individual subject will follow the same dosing schedule at every period. A Follow-up visit will be conducted 7-10 days after administration of the last dose of study medication in treatment period 4.
GSK945237 belongs to the Bacterial Type II Topoisomerase Inhibitor (BTI) class of antibiotics. GSK945237 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 study will be conducted in four (4) parts, with a single oral dose being explored in Part A (2400 mg) and repeat oral doses (b.i.d. and q.d.) being explored in Part B. Parts C and D will be optional evaluations of repeat oral doses of linezolid and a comparative evaluation of the effect of GSK945237 and moxifloxacin, respectively. Parts A and B will be single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-rising (Part B only) studies of healthy subjects to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of GSK945237. The proposed doses range from 400 mg to 2400 mg. Part C will be a single-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled repeat dose evaluation of 600 mg (b.i.d.) of linezolid. Part D will be a single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, two period crossover study. The proposed doses for Part D will be 1200 mg GSK945237 and 400 mg moxifloxacin.
