First-time-in-Human (FTIH) Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Single (in Both Fed and Fasted States) or Repeat Doses of GSK3358699

This FTIH study, intends to identify the doses of GSK3358699, which are well tolerated by the subjects whilst delivering a robust pharmacodynamic (PD) response. This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) and PD profile of single (in both fed and fasted states) and multiple ascending doses of GSK3358699 in healthy male subjects within a pre-defined and controlled pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic range for each cohort. It also intends to understand the effect of GSK3358699 on systemic markers of inflammation following low dose in vivo lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) challenge and local inflammation in cantharidin-induced blisters. The study has been carefully designed to explore the in vivo biology of the target and the potential for the study drug to become a transformative medicine for subjects in multiple immuno-inflammatory disease indications.
