NCT01072175
This was an open-label, dose escalation study to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and clinical activity of GSK2118436 and GSK1120212 in combination. This study was designed in four parts. In Part A, the effect of repeat doses of GSK1120212 on the pharmacokinetics of single dose GSK2118436 was investigated prior to evaluating combination regimens. In Part B, the range of tolerated dose combinations was identified using a dose-escalation procedure. In Part C, different dose combinations of GSK2118436 and GSK1120212 were evaluated, based on results from the dose escalation cohorts. In Part D, the pharmacokinetics and safety of GSK2118436 administered as HPMC capsules alone and in combination with GSK1120212 was evaluated.
NCT02290106
HMG co-A reductase inhibitors, commonly called statins, are an effective treatment for dyslipidemia and atherosclerotic heart disease with proven mortality benefit. While the lipid-lowering effects of statins are well-known, other metabolic effects, including effects on glucose tolerance and ectopic fat distribution, are less completely understood. Recent studies have shown that some statins may increase the risk of diabetes. Further, research has suggested that statins may have some benefit in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a condition associated with obesity that includes increased fat in the liver (steatosis) and, in some cases, inflammation and hepatocellular damage (steatohepatitis). Pitavastatin, approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2009, is the most recent statin to enter the market. Unlike most statins, pitavastatin is not primarily metabolized through cytochrome P450 (CYP450), and thus has reduced potential for interactions with other medications that are metabolized by CYP450. Previous studies have suggested that pitavastatin may be neutral to glucose homeostasis and may improve hepatic lipid. Neither of these effects has been proven definitively, however, and the current proposal aims to characterize in detail the effects of pitavastatin on glucose homeostasis, hepatic steatosis, and steatohepatitis.
NCT01928758
The overall aim of this project is to evaluate the effect of progressive nicotine reduction in cigarettes on smoking behavior, toxin exposure and psychiatric symptoms in smokers with comorbid mood and/or anxiety disorders. Smokers with mood and/or anxiety disorder will smoke research cigarettes that will contain either a) nicotine content similar to their preferred usual brand of cigarettes, or b) nicotine content per cigarette that is progressively reduced from approximately 11.6 mg to 0.2 mg per cigarette over 18 weeks. It is our hypothesis that nicotine intake will decline as a function of cigarette nicotine content in the Reduced Nicotine Content group without significant increases in tobacco smoke exposure, severity of nicotine withdrawal symptoms, mood and anxiety symptomatology or protocol non-adherence over time in the Reduced Nicotine Content group as compared with the control group.

NCT02794480
The study is conducted to evaluate the potentially improved patient handling of the ELLIPTA Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI). Therefore, the study aims to evaluate errors encountered by subject with asthma during handling ELLIPTA DPI relative to two metered dose inhalers (MDI), a GSK MDI and the AstraZeneca (AZ) MDI. It is a randomised, multi-centre, open-label, cross-over study comparing placebo ELLIPTA DPI with placebo MDI (GSK and AZ) to assess correct inhaler use. No active drug will be used in this study in order to prevent any drug-related effects. Approximately, 152 subjects will be randomized to receive ELLIPTA DPI inhaler and 152 will be randomized to receive one of the MDI inhalers, for use during the first period (P) (approximately 28 days). At Visit 2 (Day 28) all subjects previous receiving the ELLIPTA DPI will be randomized to receive one of the MDI inhalers and all subjects who received a MDI in the previous period will receive the ELLIPTA DPI for use during second period (approximately 28 days). Subjects will continue taking their asthma maintenance treatment and limited rescue albuterol MDI during the entire 56-day study period. ELLIPTA is a registered trademark of the GSK group of companies.
NCT02131064
This is a randomized, multicenter, open-label, two-arm study in treatment-naive participants with operable, locally advanced, or inflammatory, centrally-assessed HER2-positive early breast cancer (EBC) whose primary tumors were greater than or equal to (\>/=) 2 centimeters (cm). The study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab emtansine + pertuzumab (experimental arm; T-DM1 + P) versus chemotherapy, trastuzumab + pertuzumab (control arm; TCH + P). The study comprised a neoadjuvant treatment period, followed by surgery, and an adjuvant treatment period. Treatment can be stopped due to disease recurrence, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or study termination.
NCT02198651

NCT02136862
There is limited published clinical data about the natural history of renal disease in Alport syndrome. The RG012-01 study will collect data to characterize the progression of renal dysfunction in Alport syndrome patients. Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Alport syndrome who have qualifying GFR will be considered for enrollment. The sequential sampling of subjects' urine and/or blood will allow an assessment of the rate of change of established clinical endpoints, such as GFR and/or the rate of change of other renal biomarkers (proteinuria and β-2 microglobulin) in subjects whose renal function is steadily declining. The identification of surrogate markers that track the decline of renal function and could correlate with time to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a key goal of the natural history study.
NCT02284906
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of pioglitazone at 24 months compared with placebo on cognitive decline in high-risk participants who have completed the AD-4833/TOMM40\_301 study \[NCT01931566\] with an adjudicated diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
NCT01966445
Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 3 (HER3) expression is seen across a wide variety of solid malignancies and is associated with poor prognosis. Up-regulation of HER3 expression and activity is also associated with resistance to multiple pathway inhibitors. GSK2849330, a monoclonal antibody targeting HER3, is a new agent for subjects whose tumors express HER3. This study is a phase I, first time in human, open-label, dose escalation study. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GSK2849330 in subjects with advanced HER3-positive solid tumors. The study will be conducted in two parts. Part 1 (Dose-Escalation Phase) will include dose escalation and PK/PD cohorts to evaluate safety, PK, and PD to guide selection of dose regimen(s) for Part 2. In Part 2 (Expansion Cohorts), up to 3 cohorts will be enrolled at the dose regimen(s) selected based on Part 1 data, to evaluate safety in a larger cohort of subjects at the recommended dose regimen and also to evaluate preliminary evidence of clinical benefit.
