Effect of the GSK2245035 on the Allergen-induced Asthmatic Response
Germany, United Kingdom36 participantsStarted 2016-12-05
Plain-language summary
This study will assess whether Toll like receptor 7 (TLR7)-mediated pharmacology, with intranasal (i.n.) GSK2245035 20 nanogram (ng) administered weekly for a period of 8 weeks, will lead to reduced allergic reactivity in the lower airways in subjects with mild allergic asthma.
This will be a randomised, double-blind (sponsor open), placebo-controlled, parallel group, 8-week treatment study.
The study will consist of a screening period of up to approximately 4 weeks (involving two screening visits), a blinded treatment period of 8 weeks, followed by a follow-up period of up to 3 months. The total duration of the study for each subject will therefore be a maximum of approximately 6 months.

Inclusion Criteria
* Between 18 and 65 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
* Diagnosis of asthma, as defined by the history of respiratory symptoms such as wheeze, shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough that vary over time and in intensity, together with variable expiratory airflow limitation for at least 6 months prior to screening
* Current asthma therapy. Intermittent short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) alone (on average for no more than 2 days per week)
* Positive skin prick test (3 mm or more greater than negative control) to common perennial or seasonal aeroallergen(s) (i.e., house dust mite, cat dander, grass pollen) at screening
* Pre-bronchodilator FEV1 \> 70 % predicted normal at Screening Visit 1
* EAR with \>=20 % FEV1 decrease between 5 and 30 minutes after the final allergen concentration is obtained at the screening bronchial allergen challenge (BAC) (decreases relative to the saline)
* LAR with three FEV1 decreases of \>= 15 % between 4 and 10 hours after the final allergen concentration is obtained at the screening bronchial allergen challenge, with two FEV1 decreases being at consecutive time points (decreases relative to the saline)
* Subjects who are current non-smokers (defined as no use of any tobacco products in the 6-month period preceding the screening visit) and have a pack history of \< 10 pack years. Number of pack years = (number of cigarettes per day/20) x number of years smoked
* Bodyweight \>= 45kilograms …
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
