Brief Summary

Sufficient subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of MS (EDSS score of 6.5 or below), will be recruited to ensure that 30 subjects (approx. equal numbers of each gender) complete the study. Subjects will undergo a screening visit, then four study days, each separated by a washout period of at least 7 days, when the different firategrast batches of drug substance will be administered, and a follow-up visit.

Detailed Description

An open-label, randomised, four period crossover study to investigate the relative pharmacokinetic profiles of tablets from three batches of firategrast with different surface areas and two different tablet formulations containing the same batch of firategrast, given as single 900mg doses to male and female subjects with a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis

• Subjects with clinically significant renal laboratory values: subjects with a calculated creatinine clearance <60ml/min
• Subjects with local urinalysis findings outside of ranges defined in the protocol during the screening period.
• Presence of clinically significant hepatic laboratory values
• CD4 count <500 cells/µl, CD4:CD8 <1.0, idiopathic CD4/CD8 lymphopenia or secondary lymphopenia at Screening.
• JCV DNA detected in plasma or buffy coat using PCR
• Any findings on the MRI of the brain other than MS, except for benign findings that require no further evaluation or treatment and do not have an impact on the patient's neurological health
• Current or history of cancer, excluding localized non-melanoma skin cancer.
• Uncontrolled or any active bacterial, viral, or fungal infection. Any previous serious infections should be discussed with the GSK medical monitor (e.g. opportunistic or atypical infections).
• History of tuberculosis or positive chest X-ray for TB
• Known congenital or acquired immunodeficiency.
• Any abnormality on 12-lead ECG at Screening which is clinically significant in the opinion of the investigator.
• Subjects with positive hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV tests at Screening.
• Women who are lactating, pregnant (positive pregnancy test at Screening), or planning to become pregnant during the course of the study.
• Recent history or suspicion of current drug abuse (including analgesic abuse) or alcohol abuse within the last 6 months prior to Screening.
• Use of an investigational drug for condition other than MS within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) preceding Screening. Prior use of an investigational drug for MS should be discussed with the GSK medical monitor.
• Any concurrent illness, disability or clinically significant abnormality (including laboratory tests) that may affect the interpretation of clinical efficacy or safety data or prevent the subject from safely completing the assessments required by the protocol.

• Minimum Eligible Age: 18 Years
• Maximum Eligible Age: 65 Years
