Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED

Brief Summary

This study is a phase I, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind (sponsor unblind), three part study. The primary objective of the study is to characterize the safety, and tolerability of GSK3008356 single dose, 14 daily repeat doses in healthy subjects and 28 daily repeat doses in obese subjects. The study has three parts. Part 1, will be a single and multiple-dose, dose-rising study in healthy subjects. Part 2, will be a 14-day, repeat-dose, dose-rising study in healthy subjects, and part 3 will be a 28-day, repeat-dose study in obese subjects. For Parts 1 and 2, data from prior doses cohorts will be available prior to escalation decisions. Data from Parts 1 and 2 will be available prior to initiation of the three parallel cohorts in Part 3. A dose escalation meeting will be held to review these data and document the decision to proceed as planned or make any alterations in dosing, if indicated. Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 study will have approximately 88, 24 and 30 subjects, respectively.

Study Groups

Part 1 - GSK3008356 single dose and multiple doses

Healthy subjects will receive GSK3008356 in morning as single dose or multiple doses of 5 milligrams (mg), 10 mg, 30 mg,45 mg, 75 mg, 90 mg, 125, 180 mg, 200 mg, 250 mg total daily dose or matching placebo in eleven sequential cohorts while receiving a standard fat meal. The initial dosing for the first cohort will be staggered so that 2 subjects will be dosed as sentinel subjects. Provided there are no safety concerns, the remainder of the subjects scheduled for the cohort may be dosed. Eight subjects will be enrolled in each cohort.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

GSK3008356

Intervention Type: DRUG

This intervention is available as 0.5, 1, 5, and 25 mg white oral tablet. The formulation will be used to administer dose of 5 mg, 10 mg, 30 mg, 45 mg, 75 mg, 90 mg, 125 mg, 180 mg, 200 mg, and 250 mg total daily dose during the study.

Placebo

Intervention Type: DRUG

This intervention is available as white oral tablet. The formulation will be used as a matching placebo for GSK3008356 during the study.

Part 2 - GSK3008356 14 day repeat dose

Healthy subjects will receive GSK3008356 or matching placebo, as 14 daily doses in the three sequential cohorts. Subjects in cohort 1 will receive their daily dose in morning, while subjects in cohort 2 and cohort 3 will receive their daily dose in evening. In all the three cohorts, Day 1 and day 14 dosing will occur while receiving a standard fat meal in morning. Eight subjects will be enrolled in each cohort.

Part 3 - GSK3008356 28 day repeat dose

Obese subjects will receive GSK3008356 or matching placebo, as 28 daily doses in the three parallel cohorts. Cohort 1 will evaluate 1 dose strength of GSK3008356 (or matching placebo) administered as morning doses. Cohorts 2 and 3 will evaluate 2 dose strengths (1 per cohort) of GSK3008356 (or matching placebo) administered in the evening. Ten subjects will be enrolled in each cohort.
