Scientific titlePhase II open label pilot study of V3381 in chronic cough
Study objectivesCough reflex hypersensitivity, demonstrated in chronic cough patients, is due to a phenomenon known as central sensitisation, mediated by the N-methyl d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor.
Ethics approval(s)North West Research Ethics Committee approved on the 28th August 2009 (ref: 09/H1010/39)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedChronic cough
InterventionPatients received treatment with V3381 for 8 weeks and attended for study visits after 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment. A validated cough-specific quality of life questionnaire (CQLQ) was completed by patients after 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment. Twenty-four hour objective cough monitoring was performed at baseline and after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment using a custom-built recording device. All adverse events were documented.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase II
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)V3381
Primary outcome measureObjective cough frequency over 24 hours at 8 weeks of treatment compared to baseline.
Secondary outcome measures1. Objective cough frequency over 24 hours at 4 weeks of treatment compared to baseline
2. Cough-related quality of life at 2, 4 and 8 weeks of treatment compared to baseline
3. Treatment-related adverse events

Eligibility

Participant type(s)Patient
Age groupAdult
Lower age limit18 Years
SexBoth
Target number of participants10
Key inclusion criteria1. Male or female 18 - 75 years of age
2. Females must be of non child-bearing potential (i.e., surgically sterilised or greater than 1 year post-menopause). Male patients who are sexually active with a female partner of child-bearing potential must agree to use a barrier method of contraception for the duration of the study.
3. Chronic cough (greater than 8 weeks)
4. Normal chest X-ray
5. Normal lung function
6. Idiopathic or treatment resistant cough, defined as a cough for which no objective evidence of an underlying trigger can be determined after investigation (idiopathic) or a cough that is unresponsive to 8 weeks of targeted treatment for identified underlying triggers including reflux disease, asthma and post-nasal drip (treatment-resistant)
Key exclusion criteria1. Recent upper respiratory tract infection (less than 4 weeks)
2. Pregnancy/breast-feeding
3. Current smokers or ex-smokers with less than 6 months abstinence or cumulative history of greater than 10 pack years
4. Current treatment with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
5. Drug or alcohol abuse
6. Uncontrolled hypertension (i.e., greater than 140/90 mmHg despite adequate medical therapy)
7. Any cardiovascular condition that would be a contra-indication to the use of sympathomimetic amines (e.g. active angina)
8. Any clinically significant neurological disorder
9. Prior renal transplant, current renal dialysis
10. Any clinically significant or unstable medical or psychiatric condition that would interfere with the patient's ability to participate in the study
11. Increased risk of seizures (defined as a history of seizure disorder, family history of seizures and history of head trauma that resulted in loss of consciousness or concussion)
12. Any malignancy in the past 2 years (with the exception of basal cell carcinoma)
13. Use of opioids, anticonvulsants, antidepressants (particularly monoaminde oxidase [MAO] inhibitors). Patients currently taking drugs in these classes for chronic cough may have them discontinued prior to entry into the study. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors should be discontinued at least 4 weeks prior to study; all other prohibited medications should be discontinued 2 weeks prior to study. Patients should not be taking NMDA-receptor antagonists or sympathomimetics during the study period.
14. Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory test result(s)
15. Serum creatinine laboratory value greater than 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) reference range (after adjustment for age) or estimated creatinine clearance less than 60 ml/min
16. Total bilirubin greater than upper limit of normal reference range (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome) and/or alanine transaminase (ALT) greater than 1.5 times upper limit of normal reference ranges (after adjustment for age)
