Trial overview
Official title: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to compare GW766944 (an oral CCR3 receptor antagonist) versus placebo in patients with asthma and sputum eosinophilia.
Trial description: GW766994 is a selective, competitive antagonist of the human CC chemokine receptor-3 (CCR3). It is proposed that the inhibition of the CCR3 receptor may provide a treatment for airway inflammation such as in asthma. This will be a double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study being conducted to evaluate the effects of GW766994 in subjects with mild-moderate asthma who have high sputum eosinophilia. The primary objective is to compare the effects of GW766994 to placebo on sputum eosinophils.

Subjects who use benzodiazepines or other anxiolytic on a regular basis can be included at the discretion of the investigator and in consultation with the GSK medical monitor. -Cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors including but not limited to antiretrovirals (protease inhibitors) (e.g.indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir); imidazole and triazole anti-fungals (e.g. ketaconazole, itraconazole); macrolide antibiotics (e.g. clarithromycin, erytrhomycin and; telithromycin); calcium channel blockers (diltiazem and verapamil) and nefazodone, 6 weeks before. -Consumption of seville oranges, grapefruit or grapefruit juice and/or pummelos, exotic citrus fruits, grapefruit hybrids or fruit juices from 7 days prior to the first dose of study medication. -Unwillingness or inability to follow the procedures outlined in the protocol.
