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

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Sepsis
Interventions
Drug: Intravenous GR270773 - Phospholipid emulsion
Registration Number
NCT00158769
Lead Sponsor
GlaxoSmithKline
Brief Summary

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.

Subjects with moderate hepatic impairmentIntravenous GR270773 - Phospholipid emulsionSubjects 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.
Healthy subjectsIntravenous GR270773 - Phospholipid emulsionSubjects 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.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Compare drug concentrations in the blood between patients with impaired liver function and normal healthy adults, after 72 hours. Determine whether administration of study drug alters the lipid make-up of healthy adults in any way.Up to Day 16
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
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.Up to Day 16
