The effect of repeat doses of GSK962040 on the pharmacokinetics of L-DOPA in subjects with Parkinson’s disease with slow gastric emptying

Conditions
Investigate the ability of the motilin receptor agonist GSK962040 to improve levodopa pharmacokinetics (PK) by enhancing GE via motilin receptor agonism.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease (according to modified Hoehn & Yahr criteria Stages II-IV) and with suboptimal motor control on L-DOPA or L-DOPA combination therapy (i.e. wearing off, peak dose dyskinesias, delayed on or no-on
effects)
2. Subjects receiving a stable regimen of L-DOPA for at least four weeks prior to screening
3. Patient has gastric half-time of emptying equal to 70 min as determined by 13C-oral breath test.
4. Between 40 and 80 years of age, inclusive.
5. Patient has never had a gastrectomy, nor major gastric surgical procedure or any evidence of bowel obstruction or strictures within the previous 12 months
6. Dosage of any concomitant medications has been stable for at least 4 weeks
7. A female subject is eligible to participate if she is of:
o Non-childbearing potential defined as pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea [in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) > 40 MlU/ml and estradiol < 40 pg/ml (<147 pmol/L) is confirmatory].
o Child-bearing potential and is abstinent or agrees to use one of the contraception methods listed in Section 8.1 for an appropriate period of time (as determined by the product label or investigator) prior to the start of dosing to sufficiently minimize the risk of pregnancy at that point. Female subjects must agree to use
contraception until at least 5 days post-last dose.
8. ALT < 2xULN; alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin = 1.5xULN (isolated bilirubin >1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%).
9. Single or Average QTc, QTcB or QTcF< 450 msec; or QTc < 480 msec in subjects with Bundle Branch Block.
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion Criteria

1. Late stage advanced subjects with incapacitating peak dose or biphasic dyskinesia on a stable L-DOPA regime.
2. Presence, or history within the previous 3 months, of significant and/or uncontrolled psychiatric, neurological (other than Parkinson’s disease), gastro-intestinal, hematological, endocrinologic, neurological (other than Parkinson’s disease),
cardiovascular disease, active malignancy (other than basal cell cancer) or other condition that would in the opinion of the investigator or medical monitor make the subject unsuitable for inclusion in this clinical study.
3. A positive pre-study Hepatitis B surface antigen or positive Hepatitis C antibody result within 3 months of screening
4. Patient has a gastric pacemaker
5. Patient is on chronic enteral (e.g., feeding tube) or parenteral feeding
6. Patient has evidence of severe cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (e.g. history of recurrent syncope in the last 6 months)
7. Estimated (or measured) glomerular filtration rate = 30 mL/min.
8. Current or chronic history of liver disease, or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones).
9. Pregnant females as determined by positive serum or urine hCG test at screening or prior to dosing.
10. Lactating females.
11. Unable to refrain from consumption of red wine, Seville oranges, grapefruit or grapefruit juice from 7 days prior to the first dose of study medication until followup.
12. Use of medications potentially influencing upper gastrointestinal motility or appetite within one week of the study (e.g., prokinetic drugs, macrolide antibiotics (erythromycin), GLP-1 mimetics)
13. Unable to refrain from use of prohibited medications listed in Section 9 within the restricted timeframe relative to the first dose of study medication.
14. The patient has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigational product within the following time period prior to the first dosing day in the current study: 30 days, 5 half-lives or twice the duration of the biological effect of the investigational product (whichever is longer).
15. History of sensitivity to any of the study medications, or components thereof or a history of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator or GSK Medical Monitor, contraindicates their participation.
16. Where participation in the study would result in donation of blood or blood products in excess of 500 mL within a 56-day time-period.
