A Single-centre, Randomized, Double-blind (Sponsor Open), Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of GSK2983559, in Single (in Both Fed and Fasted States) and Repeat Oral Doses in Healthy Participants

This study is the first administration of GSK2983559, a selective receptor interacting protein 2 (RIP2) kinase inhibitor, to humans. This will be randomized, double-blinded (sponsor open) and two part study (A and B). Part A of the study is single ascending dose crossover design with two separate cohorts (1 and 2). In Part A, 9 single dose levels will be explored. In Cohort 1, 10 healthy subjects will randomized to receive single oral doses of either GSK2983559 or placebo in a ratio of 4:1 in 5 way cross-over design with 5 treatment periods. In Cohort 2, 8 healthy subjects will be randomized to receive single oral doses of either GSK2983559 or placebo in a ratio of 3:1 in 4 way cross-overs design with 4 treatment periods. In Cohort 2 there will be an additional period (period 5-open label) for assessing GSK2983559 under fed conditions. There will be 48 hours wash-out period between each dose escalation period. Part B is repeat ascending dose sequential group design. It will contain 4 Cohorts of and dosing will be done sequential dosing. Subjects in Part B will receive once daily (QD) dose or twice daily dose (will be decided based upon the pharmacokinetic, safety and tolerability observed in Part A). There will 58 subjects involved in this study. Total duration of Part A will be approximately for 11 Weeks and Part B will be approximately for 15 Weeks.
