Trial overview
Official title: A 12-week, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the anti-inflammatory activity, efficacy and safety of GW856553 in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Trial description: Phase IIa, randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group, multi-centre study in subjects diagnosed with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The primary objective is to evaluate the effects of 12-weeks of treatment with GW856553 7.5 mg twice daily (BID) compared with placebo on the percentage of sputum neutrophils at 12 weeks. Twelve weeks of treatment with SERETIDE 50/500 BID will be compared with placebo for effect on sputum neutrophils as a positive control arm in the study

- Subjects eligible for enrolment in the study must meet all of the following criteria:
- Male adults or female adults of non-childbearing potential who are between 40 and 75 years of age (inclusive). Note: a female is eligible to enter and participate in the study if she is of non-childbearing potential (i.e. physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant). This includes any female who is post-menopausal. For the purposes of this study, post menopausal is defined as being amenorrhoeic for greater than 1 year with an appropriate clinical profile, e.g. age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms. Postmenopausal status may be confirmed by serum FSH and oestradiol concentrations at screening if deemed necessary by the PI. Surgical sterility will be defined as females who have had a hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy or tubal ligation.
- A subject will not be eligible for inclusion in this study if any of the following criteria apply:
- Women who are pre-menopausal and of child-bearing potential, or pregnant.

- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease diagnosis: an established clinical history of COPD in accordance with the following description by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society [American Thoracic Society / European Respiratory Society, 2004] Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a preventable and treatable disease characterised by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually progressive and is associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases, primarily caused by cigarette smoking. Although COPD affects the lungs, it also produces significant systemic consequences.
- Subjects with a cigarette smoking history of ≥10 pack years (1 pack year = 20 cigarettes smoked per day for 1 year or the equivalent). Both current and former smokers are eligible to be enrolled. A former smoker is defined as a subject who has not smoked for ≥6 months at Visit 1.

- Subjects with a post-bronchodilator FEV1 ≥ 50% and < 80% of predicted normal for height, age and sex at Visit 1. Subjects will be assessed 30 (± 5) minutes after receiving salbutamol 400 μg.
- Subjects capable of providing signed written informed consent to participate.
- Subjects must have a QTc <450 msec on baseline ECG or triplicate ECG averaged over a brief recording interval. For subjects with baseline bundle branch block the QTc will be <480msec on baseline ECG or triplicate ECG averaged over a brief recording interval.

- Subjects who have had a close household contact treated for active tuberculosis within the past 12 months, or who in the judgement of the investigator are at high risk for developing active tuberculosis, shall be excluded from the study.
- A subject will not be eligible for randomisation at the end of the run-in period if either of the following criteria applies: * Subjects who have experienced an exacerbation during the run-in period requiring treatment with oral corticosteroids and/or antibiotics and/or hospitalisation. * Subjects who are unable to produce an induced sputum sample.
