GSK618334 Repeat Dose Study

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Substance Dependence
Interventions
Drug: GSK618334 Low Dose
Drug: GSK618334 PET subjects
Drug: GSK618334 Medium Dose
Drug: GSK618334 High Dose
Registration Number
NCT01036061
Lead Sponsor
GlaxoSmithKline
Brief Summary

The proposed study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of repeated oral doses of GSK618334 in healthy male and female volunteers.

Detailed Description

GSK618334 strongly binds to dopamine type 3 receptors in the human brain and is being developed as an innovative treatment for substance dependence. This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, blood concentrations and effect following repeated oral doses of GSK618334 in healthy male and female volunteers. The effect of food on a single oral dose of GSK618334 will also be evaluated. Another portion of this study will investigate dopamine type 3 receptor binding in the human brain by PET scan before and after repeated doses of GSK618334.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The safety and tolerability endpoints will be: adverse events, laboratory values, cardiovascular variables (blood pressure, heart rate, ECG), temperature, respiratory rate, assessment of mood and abnormal movements, and GSK618334 blood levels.First dose to follow-up
To assess blood concentrations of GSK618334 after repeated oral doses.First dose to 72 hours post last dose
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To assess the effect of food on GSK618334 blood concentrations after a single dose.First dose of the single dose session to 24 hours after dosing of the repeat dose session
The dopamine type 3 receptor binding in the brain (by PET scan) of GSK618334 following the repeat dose session.First dose to 24 hours after last dose
