Study summary

GSK2798745 is a potent and selective transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channel blocker being investigated for the treatment of chronic cough. This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, two-period crossover study with a purpose to evaluate efficacy and safety of GSK2798745. Each subject will have 2 treatment periods, and will be randomized to one of the following treatments in each period: A) Placebo matching to GSK2798745 once daily for 7 days. B) 4.8 milligrams (mg) GSK2798745 on Day 1, followed by 2.4 mg GSK2798745 once daily for 6 days. There will be a washout period of 14 to 21 days between the treatment periods. A maximum of 48 subjects will be enrolled in the study and the total duration of participation in the study will be maximum of 10 and a half weeks including follow-up visit.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(14)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

FEV1

From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Total Cough Counts During Day Time Hours Following 7-days of Dosing

    Coughs were monitored using the VitaloJAK cough monitor. The total cough counts during day-time (10 hours) was calculated from the time of the monitor being attached i.e. immediately after dosing on Day 7 to 10 hours past the time of monitoring. Total cough counts were log-transformed prior to analysis. A non-informative prior was used. Analysis was performed using a Bayesian mixed model adjusting for subject-level and period-adjusted baselines, treatment and period. Subject-level baseline is defined as the mean of the two period-specific baselines. Period-adjusted baseline is defined as the difference between the period-specific baseline and subject-level baseline for each period. Posterior median and 95% credible interval is reported. All Subjects Population included all randomized participants who took at least 1 dose of study treatment. Participants were analyzed according to the treatment they actually received.

Individual participant data

Plan to share: Yes — IPD for this study will be made available via the Clinical Study Data Request site.

Supporting information: Study protocol, Statistical analysis plan, Informed consent form, Clinical study report

Time frame: IPD will be made available within 6 months of publishing the results of the primary endpoints of the study.

Access criteria: Access is provided after a research proposal is submitted and has received approval from the Independent Review Panel and after a Data Sharing Agreement is in place.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 2, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
