Brief summary

The inflammation associated with COPD is characterized by a prominent infiltration of neutrophils in lung tissue and airways. The CXC chemokine receptor type 2 (CXCR2) plays a pivotal role in neutrophil recruitment to the lungs resulting in progressive fibrosis, airway stenosis, and destruction of the lung parenchyma characteristic of COPD. There is a paucity of novel therapies that target these symptoms, and there are no currently available therapies that modify disease progression in COPD. Danirixin (GSK1325756) is a selective CXCR2 antagonist being developed as a potential anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of COPD and influenza. This study is a mechanistic study which aims to evaluate the effect of danirixin in reducing neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation (or NETosis). Subjects will be randomized (3:1) to receive danirixin hydrobromide (HBr) 35 milligram (mg) orally twice daily or matching placebo for 14 days. Subjects may continue to use rescue medication(s) and inhaled COPD maintenance medication(s) during the study. The study will consist of a screening period of up to 30 days, a 2 week treatment period, and a 1-week follow-up visit via phone call. Approximately 50 subjects will be screened to obtain approximately 24 subjects to complete the study.

Interventions

Danirixin will be available as 35 mg oval shaped, white film coated HBr embossed tablets.

DRUGPlacebo

Placebo will be available as oval shaped, white film coated tablets.

DRUGRescue medication

Subjects may continue to use rescue medication(s) anytime during the study. The following rescue medications may be used: short acting beta agonists, short acting muscarinic antagonists, or short acting combination bronchodilators.

DRUGInhaled COPD maintenance medication

Subjects may continue to use inhaled COPD maintenance medication(s) during the study, at the discretion of the GSK Medical Monitor and/or Investigator. The following maintenance medications may be used: long acting bronchodilator medications (e.g. long-acting muscarinic antagonist \[LAMA\], long-acting beta-agonist \[LABA\]) and long-acting bronchodilator combination therapies (e.g. LAMA/LABA) and long-acting bronchodilator/inhaled corticosteroid steroid combination (ICS) therapies (e.g. LABA/ICS, LAMA/LABA/ICS)

Recruitment details

The study was conducted at single center in United Kingdom. This study was terminated early due to a change in the benefit risk profile of danirixin observed in another study NCT03034967, leading to cessation of the overall danirixin development program.

Pre-assignment details

A total of 43 participants were screened, of which 23 were screen failures (23 participants did not meet inclusion/exclusion criteria). From the 20 participants who passed screening, 1 was not randomized due to study being terminated early. Hence, 19 participants were enrolled and received treatment in this study.
