A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 13 weeks of the selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) GSK2881078 in COPD.

A randomized, double-blind (sponsor unblind), placebo-controlled, multi-centered phase IIa study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 13 weeks of once daily oral dosing of the selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) GSK2881078 in older men and post menopausal women with COPD and muscle weakness, participating in home exercise.

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Participants must be 50 to 75 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent. 2. Male and/or female: a. Male participants: A male participant with a partner who is a woman of child bearing potential (WOCPB) must agree to use contraception as detailed below during the treatment period and for at least 5 half-lives of study medication have passed after the last ingested dose [125 days, corresponding to time needed to eliminate study treatment for both genotoxic and teratogenic study treatments plus an additional 90 days (a spermatogenesis cycle) for study treatments with genotoxic potential] after the last dose of study treatment and refrain from donating sperm during this period. - Male participants with female partners of child-bearing potential are eligible to participate if they agree to ONE of the following during the protocol-defined time frame described above: - Are abstinent from penile-vaginal intercourse as their usual and preferred lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods), declaration of abstinence for the duration of a trial, and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. - Agree to use a male condom plus an additional method of contraception with a failure rate of 60 years of age]. 3. Confirmed diagnosis of COPD in accordance with the ATS/ERS criteria with a post-bronchodilator FEV1/ forced vital capacity (FVC) < 0.70 AND 30%= FEV1% predicted =65% of predicted norm

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Participants with a history of myocardial infarction, angina, congestive heart failure exacerbation, hospitalization for cardiac aetiology, stroke or transient ischemic attack in the past 12 months. 2. Neurologic, musculoskeletal, osteoarthritis, or any other condition that in the opinion of the investigator limits participant’s ability to complete study physical assessments. 3. Current or chronic history of liver disease, or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones). 4. Participants with a history of cholecystectomy. 5. Participants with a history of malignancy that is not in complete remission for at least 2 years or 1 year for non-melanoma skin carcinoma. 6. Participants with a family history of early onset prostate cancer or familial prostate cancer (multiple family members). 7. Diseases known to cause malabsorption of protein or energy, such as inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, pancreatic insufficiency, etc. 8. Current or planned administration of cholestyramine or strong oral or injectable cytochrome P-450 isoenzyme 3A4 (CYP3A4) inducers. 9. Current or planned use of any prescription drugs known to affect muscle mass, including androgen supplements, anti-androgens (such as LHRH agonists), antiestrogens (tamoxifen, etc.), recombinant growth hormone, megesterol, etc. 10. Use of oral steroids concurrently or within 4 weeks preceding the screening visit. 11. The participant has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigational product within the following time period prior to randomization in the current study: 30 days, 5 half-lives or twice the duration of the biological effect of the investigational product (whichever is longer). 12. Participants with values outside the specified ranges for the following Key Clinical Laboratory Tests must be excluded from the study: •Renal function: Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) 7.5%. •ALT >2xULN and bilirubin >1.5xULN (isolated bilirubin >1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin 4.0 ng/mL 13. Presence of hepatitis B surface antigen, positive hepatitis C antibody test result at screening or within 3 months prior to first dose of study treatment. NOTE: Participants with positive Hepatitis C antibody due to prior resolved disease can be enrolled, only if a confirmatory negative Hepatitis C RNA PCR test is obtained. 14. QT interval corrected for heart rate by Bazett's formula or QT interval corrected for heart rate by Fridericia’s formula >450 msec or QT interval corrected for heart rate >480 msec in participants with Bundle Branch Block based on a single ECG. 15.
