A Study To Compare The Effects Of The Infusion Of A Sepsis Drug Between Healthy Adults And Adults With Damaged Livers

September 20, 2017 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

An Open-Label, Non-Randomised, Pharmacokinetic, Metabolic Disposition and Safety Study of a 3 Day Continuous Infusion of GR270773 in Healthy Subjects and Subjects With Hepatic Impairment.

This compound, GR270773, is a lipid based compound being developed to treat Sepsis. Lipids are broken down in the body by the liver. This study is designed to see whether the effect of the drug in people with poorly functioning livers is any different to the effect on healthy adults.

Description

Inclusion criteria:

  • Patients with known history of liver disease (either with or without history of alcohol abuse).
  • Previous confirmation of liver cirrhosis by liver biopsy or other medical imaging technique.
  • Child-Pugh score of 7-9 (moderate impairment) BMI 19-29 Kg/m2.

Exclusion criteria:

  • Lactating or pregnant females.
  • Subjects with BP > 160/90.
  • Subjects who, within the past six months, have had a history of significant drug or alcohol abuse, or any indication of regular use of more than 14 units of alcohol per week for women, or 21 units/week for men.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Subjects with moderate hepatic impairment
Subjects with moderate hepatic impairment as defined by a Child-Pugh score of 7-9 will be included. Subjects will be given GR270773 as a loading infusion of 25 milligram per kilogram per hour (mg/kg/hr) for 2 hours followed by a maintenance infusion of 5 mg/kg/hr for 70 hours.
Drug: Intravenous GR270773 - Phospholipid emulsion
GR270773 (lipid emulsion) is a sterile, white to off-white, semi-translucent liquid for intravenous injection.
Experimental: Healthy subjects
Subjects will be matched as closely as possible to the group of moderate hepatic subjects for gender, age and body mass index (BMI). Subjects will be administered 25 mg/kg/hr GR270773 as a loading dose for 2 hours followed by a maintenance infusion of 5 mg/kg/hr for 70 hours. Following a washout period of 21 days, the subjects will then receive a loading dose of 75 mg/kg/hr for 2 hours followed by a maintenance dose of 12.5 mg/kg/hr of GR270773 for 70 hours.
Drug: Intravenous GR270773 - Phospholipid emulsion
GR270773 (lipid emulsion) is a sterile, white to off-white, semi-translucent liquid for intravenous injection.

What is the study measuring?

Up to Day 16

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Determine drug concentrations in blood after 2 hour run-in period and after 72 hour infusion period. Determine whether administration of study drug alters the lipid make-up of patients with impaired liver function in any way.
Time Frame: Up to Day 16
Up to Day 16
