Clinical Trials

GlaxoSmithKline has sponsored multiple clinical trials evaluating GSK-2879552 in patients with hematologic malignancies and solid tumors, specifically small cell carcinoma, acute myelocytic leukaemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes. These early-phase evaluations included Phase I open-label trials and a Phase I/II investigation to assess safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary clinical activity. Across all trials, the recruitment status for this investigational agent is currently listed as terminated.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

GSK-2879552 acts as a potent and selective inhibitor of lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1/KDM1A), binding the enzyme to prevent demethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 residues and induce the expression of silenced target genes. This transcriptional reactivation triggers cytostatic antiproliferative activity, suppressing cellular growth in therapeutic settings such as small cell lung carcinoma, acute myelocytic leukaemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards

Quality Dimension RUO (Research Use Only) cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice)
Clinical Applicability Prohibited in human clinical trials or medical diagnostics. Mandatory for human clinical trials (Phase I–III) and therapies.
Regulatory Status Non-regulated grade; exempt from drug manufacturing laws. Legally enforced by health authorities (e.g., FDA, EMA, NMPA).
Facility Environment Unclassified analytical or research laboratories. Validated Cleanrooms (ISO Class 5–8) with continuous monitoring.
Quality Control Basic purity and activity testing. Rigorous safety release testing (Sterility, Endotoxin, Mycoplasma).
Process Validation Basic equipment calibration; no process validation required. Full qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) and complete batch records.
Quality Assurance Vendor self-declared without required formal QMS. Mandatory QA/QC unit, Change Control, CAPA, and vendor audits.
Regulatory Impact High risk of IND rejection if used as a critical raw material. Required for IND/NDA filings, supported by Drug Master Files (DMF).
