Clinical Trial Summary

This study is the second administration of GSK1362885 in humans. GSK1362885 is a novel, potent inhibitor of human glycogen phosphorylase (GP) under development for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study will investigate the compound's safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Description:

This is the first administration of single doses of GSK1362885 to the target population with T2DM. Based on the mechanism of action which involves reducing hepatic glucose output, it is possible that day time (AM) or night time (PM) dosing of GSK1362885 could produce different plasma glucose lowering effects, acting either on prandial or post-absorptive elevations of HGO. This study is designed to compare glucose profiles following AM and PM doses to determine if there is any advantage to either one. This study will compare glucose profiles following a single dose of GSK1362885 in the morning before breakfast (AM) to a single dose administered at night (PM). These two dosing periods will be randomized and each subject will receive both dosing regimens. A third dosing period (BID) is not randomized, but is included to explore the effects of GSK1362885 on glucose profiles when administered twice daily in a 24 hour timeframe.

Inclusion Criteria:

A subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if all of the following criteria apply:

• A diagnosis of T2DM as determined by a responsible physician based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Subjects may be entered if they have stable hypertension or hyperlipidemia on therapy. Subjects with other conditions except as noted in Exclusion Criteria may be included only if the Investigator and the GSK medical Monitor agree that the condition is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures.

• FPG level less than or equal to 270 mg/dL on Day -2

• For subjects taking no antidiabetic medications: HbA1c between 6.5 and 11 percent, inclusive, at Screening visit

• For subjects taking one or two antidiabetic medications: HbA1c between 5.8 and 10 percent, inclusive, at Screening visit
