MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the safety and tolerability of once daily dosing of 2.5mg, 5mg and 10mg GW501516 for 12 weeks in subjects with low HDLc. To compare the effect of various doses of GW501516 on plasma concentrations of HDLc with respect to change from baseline relative to placebo.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To determine the effect of various doses of GW501516 on plasma concentrations of total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc), TG and other lipid parameters with respect to change from baseline relative to placebo. To determine the optimal doses of GW501516 to take forward into subsequent clinical trials based on safety and efficacy results. To characterise the population pharmacokinetics (PK) of GW501516 in subjects with low HDLc. To explore the relationship between GW501516 exposure and lipid parameters. To explore the effect of GW501516 on apolipoproteins and other metabolic and inflammatory markers.
