Dose Finding Study of Nemiralisib (GSK2269557) in Subjects With an Acute Moderate or Severe Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Summary

Nemiralisib is being developed as an anti-inflammatory drug for the treatment of inflammatory airways disease. This study is designed to assess the dose response, efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of nemiralisib across a range of doses \[up to 750 micrograms (µg)\] compared with placebo. The study consists of a Screening Period, a 12-Week Treatment Period and a 12-Week Post-Treatment Follow-Up Period. Approximately 1,250 subjects with an acute moderate or severe exacerbation of COPD requiring standard of care (SoC) therapy will be randomized in this double-blind study. Subjects will be randomized to receive different doses of nemiralisib or placebo via ELLIPTA® inhaler. The total duration of study participation is approximately 6 months (170 days). ELLIPTA is the registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) group of companies.

DRUG

Standard of care therapy

SoC therapy for the index exacerbation is defined as treatment with oral/systemic corticosteroid (prednisone 40 mg/day or equivalent) for 5 days and antibiotic for 7 days. Subjects will receive SoC as prescribed by the Investigator or medically qualified designee. The dose and/or duration of prednisone and/or the antibiotic can be modified according to the Investigator's/medically qualified designee's judgment or according to local country/institution practice.
