Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) stimulation in the airways may reduce responses to aeroallergens by induction of type 1 interferons (IFNs). GSK2245035 is a novel selective TLR7 agonist in pharmaceutical development. OBJECTIVE: Assessment of safety, pharmacodynamics and nasal allergic reactivity following repeated weekly intranasal (i.n.) GSK2245035. METHODS: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (TL7116958) was conducted over two pollen seasons (2013-2014) and follow-up study (204509) conducted 1 year later. Participants with allergic rhinitis (n=42) were randomized to receive eight weekly doses of i.n. GSK2245035 (20 ng [2014 Cohort; n=14] or 80 ng [2013 Cohort; n=14]) or placebo (n=14). Adverse events (AEs) including cytokine release syndrome AEs (CytoRS-AEs) and nasal symptoms were assessed. Nasal and serum IFN-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) were measured after doses 1 and 8, then 1 (follow-up visit [FUV] 1) and 3 (FUV2) weeks after final dose. Nasal allergen challenges (NACs) and allergic biomarker assessment (nasal, serum) were conducted at baseline, FUV1, FUV2 and at a FUV 1 year after final dose (FUV3; 2014 Cohort only). A Bayesian framework enabled probability statements for mean effect sizes. RESULTS: GSK2245035 induced CytoRS-AEs (most commonly headache, median duration <1 day) in 93% of participants at 80 ng, while AE incidence at 20 ng was similar to placebo. There was no evidence of nasal inflammation. Dose-related increases in nasal and serum IP-10 were observed 24 hours after doses 1 and 8 (>95% certainty). Both doses showed a trend in reducing total nasal symptom score 15 minutes post-NAC at FUV1 and FUV2, but there was no reduction evident at FUV3. Nasal levels of selected allergic biomarkers demonstrated trends for reductions at FUV1, FUV2 and FUV3. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Weekly i.n. GSK2245035 20 ng was well tolerated and reduced allergic reactivity to nasal challenge for 3 weeks post-treatment.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
