GDC6599 - A new treatment for chronic cough

Chronic cough

Chronic cough which persists despite medical management may be associated with diseases such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Some people experience chronic cough without an identified underlying cause.  There are currently no approved drugs for treatment of any of these forms of chronic cough.

GDC-6599 is a new drug which inhibits the nerve signalling which is believed to be involved in causing chronic coughing.  This trial aims to determine if treatment with GDC-6599 is effective at reducing the frequency and severity of coughing in people with chronic cough. Participants will be assigned at random to receive the study drug or placebo in addition to standard medical care.  The study doctors will monitor participants to determine if the drug is safe and whether there are any side effects.  The study will also measure how well the study drug gets into the bloodstream and how long it lasts in the body.
