A Safety/Tolerability and Pharmakokinetic Study of Sargramostim Administrated in the Gingiva

October 28, 2008 updated by: Innoventus Project AB

A Phase I, Open-Label, Single Center, Safety/Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Study of Leukine® Administrated in the Gingiva as Three Single Doses on Separate Days

This exploratory study is the first study in a clinical program where the overall objective is to develop a novel pharmaceutical therapy comprising local administration of GM-CSF for the treatment of periodontitis. The project hypothesis is based on GM-CSF's antibacterial and putative bone regeneration properties. Periodontitis is the major cause of tooth loss in people over 35 years of age. An effective pharmacological treatment is today lacking and the actual therapy would represent a new treatment option for the large patient group suffering from the disease.

Detailed Description

It is suggested that local administration of GM-CSF in the gingival tissue next to the periodontal destruction may reduce the infectious condition by an antibacterial effect via stimulation of neutrophil phagocytosis of bacteria, enhanced functional activities of monocytes and granulocytes, as well as stimulation of bone tissue recalcification.

  • Use of tobacco products or nicotine replacement therapy
  • Alcohol or drug abuse
  • HIV or hepatitis infection
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • Participation in another clinical study on medicinal products at the time of inclusion
  • Lack of suitability for participation in the trial, for any reason, as judged by the Investigator.
