Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Part A (Dose-escalation, pre-specified cohorts 1 and 2):
Cohort 1: 2 mg GS-5801 (1 x 2 mg tablet) or placebo once daily (Days 1 to 7) - fasted
Cohort 2: 6 mg GS-5801 (3 x 2 mg tablet) or placebo once daily (Days 1 to 7) - fasted

Part B (Adaptive cohorts 3 - 6):
Cohort 3 - 6: 2 mg to 100 mg GS-5801 or placebo once daily (Days 1 to 7) - fasted
Dose selection will be based on safety, tolerability, PK and PD data from previously completed cohorts.

Fasted - no food or drinks except water, for at least 10 hours

The investigator will maintain an accurate inventory of all study drug(s). Each dose of the study drug(s) administered at the study center will be administered by qualified study center staff. The dose of study drug(s) administered to subjects in the clinic under the supervision of staff will be accurately recorded, which indicates the date and quantity of each dosage formulation dispensed to individual subjects.
Used and unused study drug supplies, including empty containers, are to be returned to the shipping facility from which it came for destruction following drug accountability and drug inventory reconciliation.
Intervention code [1] 296007 0

Comparator / control treatment
Placebo to match (PTM) GS 5801 tablets are identical in size, shape, color and appearance to the corresponding active strength GS 5801 tablets. The PTM GS-5801 tablet cores contain commonly used excipients including lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, and magnesium stearate.
