Trial overview
Official title: A 16-week, Phase 2a, single-arm, multi-center, open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GSK1278863 after switching from recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO), in hemodialysis-dependent subjects with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease who are chronically hyporesponsive to rhEPO
Trial description: The study will evaluate the ability of GSK1278863 to increase the hemoglobin (Hgb) concentration, or maintain it within the target range, and the safety and efficacy of GSK1278863 over 16 weeks of treatment, in hemodialysis-dependent subjects with anemia associated with chronic kidney disease who are chronically hyporesponsive to rhEPO. The data generated will inform dose requirements for any chronic rhEPO hyporesponsive hemodialysis-dependent subjects included in future clinical trials. The study consists of a 4-week rhEPO run-in period, a 16-week GSK1278863 treatment period and a 4-week Follow-up period.

- Hemodialysis (HD) frequency: Stable HD regimen of three to four times weekly for a minimum of 12 weeks. Note: The type and frequency of dialysis must be stable during the study. Isolated ultrafiltration sessions for the purposes of fluid removal are permitted.
- Dialysis Adequacy: Single-pool dialyzer clearance multiplied by dialyzer time divided by volume of distribution of urea (Kt/Vurea) of >=1.2 based on a historical value obtained within the prior month.
- Dialysis modality: Planned change in dialysis modality within the study time period.
- rhEPO: Use of methoxy polyethylene glycol epoetin beta or darbepoetin within the prior 8 weeks prior to Week -4.
Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
- Hemodialysis (HD) frequency: Stable HD regimen of three to four times weekly for a minimum of 12 weeks. Note: The type and frequency of dialysis must be stable during the study. Isolated ultrafiltration sessions for the purposes of fluid removal are permitted.
- Dialysis Adequacy: Single-pool dialyzer clearance multiplied by dialyzer time divided by volume of distribution of urea (Kt/Vurea) of >=1.2 based on a historical value obtained within the prior month.
- rhEPO hyporesponsiveness: Historical and current intravenous (IV) rhEPO and Hgb values. Average epoetin alfa dose and Hgb level for three 4-week periods for a total of 12 weeks prior to Week -4, and during the 4 week run-in period, must be within the following ranges: average epoetin alfa dose >4000 and <=6000 units per session and Hgb >=8.0 and <=9.5 g/dL; average epoetin alfa dose >6000 and <=8000 units per session and Hgb >=8.0 and <=10.0 g/dL; average epoetin alfa dose >8000 and <=10000 units per session and Hgb >=8.0 and <=10.5 g/dL; and average epoetin alfa dose >10000 units per session and Hgb >=8.0 and <=11.0 g/dL.
- Absolute difference between the Hgb value at Week -4 and Week 0 (Day 1), must be <1.3 g/dL. Note: Subjects who do not meet the criteria after being rescreened twice, should not be entered into the GSK1278863 treatment period and should be withdrawn from the study.
- Age: >=18 years of age.
- Q-T Interval Corrected for Heart Rate (QTc): Bazett's Correction of QT Interval (QTcB) <470 msec or QTcB <480 milliseconds (msec) in subjects with bundle branch block. There is no corrected QT interval (QTc) inclusion criterion for a subject with a predominantly paced rhythm.
- Gender: Female and male subjects. Females: If of childbearing potential, must agree to use one of the approved contraception methods from Screening until completion of the Follow-up Visit OR, of non-childbearing potential defined as pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation, hysterectomy or oophorectomy; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrea [in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) 23.0-116.3 milliinternational units (MIU)/milliliter (mL) (23.0-116.3 international units (IU)/liter (L)) and estradiol <=10 picograms (pg)/mL (<=37 picomole (pmol)/L) is confirmatory]. Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the approved contraception methods 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 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.

- Pregnancy and lactation: Pregnant females as determined by positive serum human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) test or women who are lactating at Week -4 or during the trial.
- Laboratory eligibility criteria will be assessed according to the central laboratory result for the screening samples
- Subjects who fail screening may be rescreened as soon as the investigator feels they may have subsequently become eligible. However, an individual subject may not be rescreened more than twice. There is no predetermined amount of time required to wait to rescreen a previously ineligible subject. Exceptions are those failing on Hgb or folate who may rescreen in 4 weeks and those failing for Vitamin B12 where rescreening may occur in 8 weeks.
