Safety, Antiviral Activity, and Pharmacokinetics of GSK2336805 With Peginterferon and Ribavirin in Chronic Hepatitis C Subjects

RVR was defined as the proportion of participants below the assay lower limit of detection (LOD) <18 International units per milliliter (IU/mL) for Hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) after 4 weeks of treatment (Day 28). Participants achieving RVR at Day 28 were considered treatment responders. Participants with missing HCV RNA values at Day 28 or discontinued before Day 28 were considered as treatment failure . Proportion of participants with HCV genotype 1 achieving RVR was the primary comparison of interest to show superiority of GSK2336805 over placebo in genotype 1 participants.

RVR was defined as the proportion of participants LOD <18 IU/mL for HCV RNA after 4 weeks of treatment (Day 28). Participants achieving RVR at Day 28 were considered treatment responders. Participants with missing HCV RNA values at Day 28 or discontinued before Day 28 were considered as treatment failure. Proportion of participants with HCV genotype 1 achieving RVR was the primary comparison of interest to show superiority of GSK2336805 over placebo in genotype 1 participants. The primary and supportive analysis differs from the nominal analysis as supportive analysis is assessed at Day 28 ± 2 (2 days visit window) whereas, the nominal analysis was assessed at Day 28.

The primary comparison of interest was performed using a Bayesian probability model. Probability of achieving undetectable HCV RNA distribution analyzed by nominal analysis was reported.

Serum for determination of HCV genotype was collected at the screening visit. Genotype was determined by the VERSANT HCV genotype 2.0 Assay (LiPA). Number of participants with HCV genotype 1 were reported.

Blood samples for determination of HCV RNA levels were collected at immediately prior to and 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 and 24 h after the first dose in Part 1 (Day 1). Measurement of HCV viral load was analyzed by the central laboratory using the COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HCV test. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing assessment on or before the first dose of study drug. Change from Baseline was computed as value at post Baseline specified time point minus Baseline value. Virus RNA levels reported as <43 are undetectable levels. If the result for HCV RNA (IU/ML) was <43, then change from Baseline was calculated using 42, and the change from Baseline on the log scale was calculated using log (42).

AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. SAE include AEs those result in death, a life-threatening AE, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, a persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal functions, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition.

Single 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) was obtained. The standard ECG criteria of potential clinical importance were 1) absolute QTc Interval, > 450 milliseconds (msec), 2) absolute PR Interval, <110 msec, 3) absolute QRS Interval, < 75 msec and 4) increase from baseline in QTc > 60 msec. QTc Interval was calculated using Frederica correction formula: QTcF = QT / (RR)^1/3. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline assessment value from post Baseline visit value. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing assessment on or before the first dose of study drug. The change from Baseline in QTc Interval at Day 2 and 28 were reported.

Laboratory abnormalities were graded according to the modified division of AIDS ( DAIDS）version 1.0. Shift from Baseline to worst post baseline toxicity grade (where applicable) were presented for Day 1 to Day 28. The toxicity Grades were, Grade 1: mild (no or minimal interference with usual social & functional activities); Grade 2: moderate (greater than minimal interference with usual social and functional activities); Grade 3: severe (inability to perform usual social and functional activities); Grade 4: potentially life threatening (inability to perform basic self-care functions or Medical or operative intervention indicated to prevent permanent impairment, persistent disability, or death). Hematology parameters were red blood cell, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet white blood cell count with differential leukocyte count, mean corpuscular volume, prothrombin time and international normalized ratio.

Abnormalities were graded according to the modified DAIDS version 1.0. Shift from Baseline to worst post Baseline toxicity grade were presented for Day 1 to Day 28. The toxicity Grades were, Grade 1: mild (no or minimal interference with usual social & functional activities); Grade 2: moderate (greater than minimal interference with usual social and functional activities); Grade 3: severe (inability to perform usual social and functional activities); Grade 4: potentially life threatening (inability to perform basic self-care functions or Medical or operative intervention indicated to prevent permanent impairment, persistent disability, or death). Clinical chemistry parameters were alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, creatine phosphokinase, total CO2, chloride, creatinine, glucose, sodium, phosphate, potassium, total albumin, total bilirubin, and direct bilirubin. Only participants with change in toxicity grades are reported.

The urinalysis parameters analyzed were Leukocyte esterase, bilirubin, occult blood, glucose, ketones, nitrite, pH, specific gravity and dipstick assessments. Only those parameters for which at least one value of potential clinical importance was reported are summarized. The number of participants with potential clinical important urinalysis findings at specified visit were reported. Visits where no abnormal values were observed not reported.

The potential clinical importance ranges (low and high) of the vital sign parameters were for systolic blood pressure (<85 and >160 millimeter of mercury [mmHg]), diastolic blood pressure (<45 and >100 mmHg) and heart rate (<40 and >110 beats per minute). Only those parameters for which at least one value of potential clinical importance was reported are summarized. The number of participants with potential clinical important vital parameter findings at any visit were reported.

Blood samples for determination of HCV RNA levels were collected from screening, immediately prior to and 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 h after the first dose in Part 1 (Day 1), during Part 2 on Days 2 (24 h after the Day 1 dose), 7, 14, 21, and 28, and at the post-treatment follow-up visit on Day 42. All viral load samples, with the exception of the one taken during the screening visit, were taken in duplicate. The actual time and date of each sample collection will be recorded. Measurement of HCV viral load was analyzed by the central laboratory using the COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HCV test.

Blood samples were collected at Baseline (Day 1, Pre-dose), Day 7, 14, 21, 28 and 42 for determination of serum alanine aminotransferase levels. Baseline was defined as the last non-missing assessment on or before the first dose of study drug. Change from Baseline was computed as value at post Baseline specified time point minus Baseline value.

Blood samples were collected at Baseline (Day 1, Pre-dose), Day 7, 14, 21, 28 and 42 for determination of serum alanine aminotransferase levels.

AUC values were determined using the linear-up, log-down trapezoidal rule. The individual plasma concentration and actual time data was used to derive the PK parameters of GSK2336805 on Day 1 by noncompartmental PK analyses. For the calculation of PK parameters all plasma concentrations that were below quantification limit (BLQ) before the first measurable concentration were set to zero. The BLQ values that occur at the end of the profile after the last quantifiable concentration were set to missing. Actual sampling times, rather than scheduled sampling times, were used in all computations of PK parameters.
