Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of GSK3008348, a novel integrin alpha v beta 6 inhibitor, in healthy participants

摘要

Purpose Inhaled drug delivery is an attractive route by which to deliver drugs to lungs of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). GSK3008348 is a potent and selective small molecule being developed as the first inhaled inhibitor of the alpha v beta 6 integrin for the treatment of IPF. The phase 1 first-time-in-human clinical trial (NCT02612051) presented here was designed to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of single doses of GSK3008348 in healthy participants.
