Trial overview
Official title: A microdose Study to Evaluate the Biodistribution of [11C]-GSK2256098 in the Lungs and Heart of Healthy Subjects and Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) Patients using Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
Trial description: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) involves the narrowing of blood vessels connected to and within the lungs. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a focal adhesion-associated protein kinase involved in cellular adhesion and spreading processes which leads to stiffening and thickening of blood vessels in lungs. This further increases the blood pressure within the lungs and impairs their blood flow. This study aims to demonstrate biodistribution of FAK inhibitor, GSK2256098, in cardiopulmonary sites i.e. heart and lung tissues. The uptake of 11C-radiolabelled GSK2256098 within the lung and / or heart of healthy subjects and idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (iPAH) patients will be assessed using Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Based on study results the decision as to whether a follow-on phase 2 trial should be initiated to investigate the therapeutic utility of GSK2256098 in iPAH will be decided. Sufficient number of subjects will be screened (up to 30 days prior to scan) to enrol 12 healthy subjects and 12 PAH patients in the study. Enrolled subjects will receive a microdose of [11C]-GSK2256098 on a scanning day which will be followed by the follow-up visit (2-4 weeks post-last dose).

- Normal spirometry at Screening (forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1] and forced vital capacity [FVC] >= 80% of predicted – measurements to be taken in triplicate and the highest value must be >= 80% of predicted).
- A subject with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameter(s) outside the reference range for the population being studied may be included only if the investigator, in consultation with the medical monitor if deemed necessary, agree and document that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures.
- Subject is ambulant and capable of attending for PET- computed tomography (CT) imaging.
- A negative Allen’s test in at least one arm for arterial blood sampling (indicating adequate collateral circulation to the hand from both the radial and ulnar arteries).
