Clinical Trial Summary

GSK2798745 is being developed as a novel therapeutic intervention for the treatment of pulmonary edema associated with heart failure (HF) and is currently under investigation in the form of a compounded capsule. This is an open-label, randomized, single-dose, crossover study with the purpose to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of three 2.4 milligrams (mg) tablet formulations of GSK2798745 in 12 healthy subjects. The three formulations developed for this study will be micronized GSK2798745 active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) (Tablet A), micronized GSK2798745 API with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and hypromellose (Tablet B), milled GSK2798745 API with SLS and hypermellose (Tablet C), and Tablet D, which will be either A/B/C based on interim PK analysis of data from the first three treatment periods.

Following a 30-day screening period, subjects will be randomized to one of the 6 treatment sequences: Treatment sequence 1: ABCD, 2=CABD, 3=ACBD, 4=BACD, 5=BCAD, 6=CBAD over three 4-day treatment periods. For treatment period 4, the best formulation based on the interim analysis data from the three treatment periods will be evaluated under fed conditions. Each treatment period will be separated by a minimum of 7 (+14)-day washout period. The total duration of participation in the study will be approximately 11 weeks including the follow-up visit.
