Trial overview
Official title: A Randomised, Placebo Controlled, Ascending, Repeat Dose Study in Healthy Volunteers Investigating Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of GSK356278
Trial description: The study drug, GSK356278, is a possible new medicine for the treatment of Huntington’s disease. Huntington’s disease, which is often called HD, is caused by a faulty gene that is passed down through families. HD causes damage to nerve cells in the brain which causes them to waste away. As the damage progresses patients develop symptoms that affect every aspect of life. HD reduces people’s ability to walk, talk, think, communicate and causes uncontrolled movements. GSK356278 may slow down the progression of damage to nerve cells in people with HD and help with their ability to think.GSK356278 was well tolerated when it was given as a single dose to healthy people. In this study we want to see what effects, both good and bad, GSK356278 has in people when it is taken every day. During the study we will look at about 3 different doses of GSK356278 in about 36 healthy people. The study will also look at how GSK356278 tablets behave in the body after it is swallowed (this is called pharmacokinetics). The study will also look at effects of GSK356278 on the body (this is called pharmacodynamics). The study will help to design future clinical studies with GSK356278.

Accepts healthy volunteers
Yes
- AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin less than and equal to 1.5xULN (isolated bilirubin greater than 1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin less than 35%).
- Healthy as determined by a responsible and experienced physician, based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and cardiac monitoring. A subject with a clinically significant abnormality or laboratory parameters significantly outside the reference range for the population being studied may be included only if the Investigator and the GSK Medical Monitor agree that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures.
- A positive pre-study Hepatitis B surface antigen or positive Hepatitis C antibody result within 3 months of screening
- Chronic history of liver disease, or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones).
Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
- AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin less than and equal to 1.5xULN (isolated bilirubin greater than 1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin less than 35%).
