Filter by:The study's primary objective is to demonstrate the superiority of retosiban to prolong pregnancy and improve neonatal outcomes compared with placebo. It is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, multicenter study and will be conducted in approximately 900 females, aged 12 to 45 years, with an uncomplicated, singleton pregnancy and intact membranes in preterm labor between 24^0/7 and 33^6/7 weeks of gestation. Eligible maternal subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either retosiban IV infusion or placebo IV infusion over 48 hours. If not previously administered, antenatal corticosteroid treatment should be administered as either (1) two 12-mg doses of betamethasone given intramuscularly 24 hours apart or (2) four 6-mg doses of betamethasone administered intramuscularly every 12 hours. A single rescue course of antenatal corticosteroids is permitted if the antecedent treatment was at least 7 days prior to study enrolment. Investigators have discretion to use a standardized regimen of magnesium sulphate, as well as intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis for perinatal group B streptococcal infection. Prior to randomization, each subject will be stratified by progesterone treatment and gestational age. The progesterone strata will consist of subjects on established progesterone therapy or subjects not on established progesterone therapy at Screening. The study will comprise 6 phases: Screening, Inpatient Randomized Treatment, Post Infusion Assessment, Delivery, Maternal Post-Delivery Assessment, and Neonatal Medical Review. The duration of any subject's (maternal or neonatal) participation in the study will be variable and dependent on gestational ages (GA) at study entry and the date of delivery.
This study in healthy, adult Japanese women will characterize the PK, safety and tolerability of retosiban at the therapeutic doses planned to be evaluated in Phase 3. The PK data will be compared to a sub-set of Caucasian women given the same dose of retosiban. This study has two cohorts, cohort 1 will be a double-blind sponsor-open (subjects and investigator blinded and sponsor unblinded), randomized, continuous 48 hours (h) infusion study in healthy, adult Japanese women of child-bearing potential. Cohort 2 is an open label and continuous retosiban 48 h infusion study in Caucasian, adult, healthy women of child bearing potential. So, the PK can be compared with those of Japanese women. Approximately 32 subjects will be enrolled. In cohort 1, approximately 24 subjects will be enrolled and randomized to retosiban and placebo (2:1 ratio) to have 18 women with 12 active, 6 placebo completed subjects. In Cohort 2, 8 subjects will be enrolled to have 6 competed subjects. The total duration of a subject's involvement in this part is anticipated to be up to 6 weeks (including the 28 day screening period).
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and outcomes of infants and children who were exposed to retosiban or comparator in utero in the Phase III spontaneous preterm labor (SPTL) treatment studies, to provide assurance that treatment is not associated with significant adverse outcomes in early childhood. The enrolled infants and children will be followed at pre-specified intervals until they reach 24 months chronological age. This study does not require medical interventions or study visits to an investigational site, instead, parents or legal guardians will be prompted at certain time points to complete developmental questionnaires and other data on their children's health status via an electronic device. Data collected during the infant and child follow up study will be managed by a centralized research coordinating center (RCC). Regionally based pediatricians will serve as study principal investigators (referred to as RCC-PIs) for this study. All communications the RCC-PI has with the parent/legal guardian or the child's health care provider (HCP) will occur remotely; there will be no clinic visits.
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of retosiban to prolong pregnancy in females with spontaneous preterm labor compared with atosiban. This objective is based on the hypothesis that prolonging the time to delivery in the absence of harm may benefit the newborn, particularly in women who experience spontaneous preterm labor at early gestational ages (GA). This study is designed to test this hypothesis through a direct comparison with atosiban, a mixed oxytocin vasopressin antagonist indicated for short-term use to delay imminent preterm birth in women between 24^0/7 and 33^6/7 weeks' gestation in preterm labor. This is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy study, which consists of 6 phases: Screening, Inpatient Randomized Treatment, Post Infusion Assessment, Delivery, Maternal Post Delivery Assessment, and Neonatal Medical Review. Approximately 330 females will be randomly assigned to retosiban or atosiban treatment in a 1:1 ratio. The duration of any one subject's (maternal or neonatal) participation in the study will be variable and dependent on GA at study entry and the date of delivery.
This will be a randomized single sequence open label study. This study is designed to determine if chronic dosing with efavirenz (EFZ) will have an effect on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of intravenously-administered retosiban in healthy volunteers. The study consists of screening (28 days), treatment (1 dosing session) and follow-up (7 to 14 days) period, and the total duration of study participation for each subject will be approximately 8 weeks. During the treatment period, subjects will be admitted to the clinical research unit the day before dosing (Day 1) and will remain until completion of the last assessment on Day 20. All subjects will receive on Day 1, a 6 milligrams (mg) bolus of retosiban for 5 minutes (min), followed by a 6 mg/hour (hr) infusion for 12 hrs. On Day 2, a washout day will occur. On Days 3-17, subjects will receive EFZ 600 mg once daily in the evening. On Day 18, subjects will receive a 6 mg bolus of retosiban for 5 mins, followed by a 6 mg/hr infusion for 12 hrs plus a 600 mg dose of EFZ.
This will be a randomized, placebo-controlled, single, oral dose, four-way Williams crossover study design in healthy male and female subjects. The study consists of screening (28 days), treatment (1 day/dosing session) and follow-up (7 to 14 days) period and the total duration of study participation for each subject will be approximately 9 weeks. Each subject will participate in 4 dosing sessions separated by a minimum 7-day washout period. All subjects will receive single doses of retosiban 100 mg, (treatment A) retosiban 800 mg (Treatment B), moxifloxacin 400 mg (Treatment C) and placebo (Treatment D) in one of the four treatment sequences (ABDC, BCAD, CDBA, DACB) following a Williams design Twelve-lead ECGs and continuous Holter monitoring, clinical laboratory safety tests, vital sign measurements, physical examinations, adverse event reports, and pharmacokinetic samples will be collected throughout the study. In each study period, cardiac conduction will be measured using a 24-hour continuous 12-lead Holter monitor from the morning of Day 1 (dosing) until the morning of Day 2.
This is a two part study. Part A of the study will evaluate the metabolites of GSK221149 following single and repeat oral dosing and will also assess the pharmacokinetics of GSK221149 when administered with a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor Ketoconazole. Part B of the study will look at the pharmacokinetics of GSK221149 following a high fat meal.
A study conducted on healthy volunteers to determine the safety, tolerability and affect on the human body by experimental drug GSK557296.
This is a phase one study investigating the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of GSK221149A in six healthy women of non-child bearing potential.
PreTerm Labor (prior to 37 weeks gestation) is the largest single cause of infant morbidity and mortality and is frequently associated with long-term disability. Oxytocin is a hormone produced by the body during labor. GSK221149 is an experimental drug that will be used to block the effects of oxytocin, and therefore pause or prevent contractions. In this study, the pharmacokinetics of various modified release formulations of GSK221149 will be investigated in healthy non-pregnant adult subjects.
