Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED

Brief Summary

As per non-clinical studies, prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor GSK1278863 can protect muscle from unaccustomed exercise induced muscle damage and enhance functional muscle repair. This study is designed to investigate arm function, pain and other pharmacodynamic (PD) markers after unaccustomed maximal eccentric exercise with concurrent administration of GSK1278863 or placebo. Primary objective of the study is to evaluate the protective effects of GSK1278863 on eccentric exercise induced muscle injury. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio (1 subject on GSK1278863 for every 1 subject on placebo). Each subject will be given five oral doses of GSK1278863/placebo in total. The first dose will be administered immediately after completion of eccentric exercise and then 4, 8, 24, and 48 hours later. Subjects will be housed till day 4 in unit and will return for a follow-up visit 7-10 days after discharge. After enrolment of approximately 30 subjects, enrolment will be paused and planned interim analysis will be performed to decide whether to terminate enrolment/study, continue dosing or to reduce the dose to 5 milligrams (mg).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• A subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if all of the following criteria apply:
• Males between 18 and 35 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

• Body weight >= 70 kilogram (kg) and Body mass index (BMI) within the range 22.0 to 34.0 (inclusive).
• Capable of giving written informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form.
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin <= 1.5x Upper limit of normal (ULN) (isolated bilirubin >1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%).
• Corrected QT interval (QTc) < 450 milliseconds (msec) based on single or average QTc value of triplicate values obtained over a brief recording period. The QT correction formula (Fridericia's) used to determine inclusion and discontinuation should be the same throughout the study.
• At least a 1year history of no regular (2-3 times per week) exercise and no heavy exertion within past week, and in the examining physician's opinion the study participant's physical condition/physique is consistent with a history of no regular physical activity for the past year.
• No strenuous exercise involving the arms during the last 10 weeks (e.g., resistance training, rock climbing, rowing, chopping wood, digging, shovelling, sawing).
• The subject is mentally and legally able to comply with the requirements and restrictions of the protocol and has provided signed informed consent prior to participation in any protocol-specific procedures, including Screening procedures.

• A subject will not be eligible for inclusion in this study if any of the following criteria apply:

Criteria Based Upon Medical History

• History of dizziness or vertigo.
• Uncontrolled hypertension [diastolic blood pressure (BP) >100 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) or systolic BP >170mmHg] at Screening.
• Taking anti-inflammatory, glucocorticoid or other pain medication more than 2 times per week over the previous month.
• Unwilling to abstain from taking prescription or non-prescription drugs (including vitamins and dietary or herbal supplements), within 7 days (or 14 days if the drug is a potential enzyme inducer) or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study medication until completion of the follow-up visit, unless in the opinion of the Investigator and sponsor the medication will not interfere with the study.
• History of regular alcohol consumption within 6 months of the study defined as:

An average weekly intake of >14 drinks for males. One drink is equivalent to 12 grams(g) of alcohol: 12 ounces [360 milliliter (mL)] of beer, 5 ounces (150mL) of wine or 1.5 ounces (45mL) of 80 proof distilled spirits.
