A First Time In Human Study To Assess The Compound GSK615915

GSK615915A is being developed as a novel surfactant for use in the formulation of GSK's future generation of Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs). A surfactant in a MDI would provide a more stable drug suspension, this in turn will produce a consistent dose of drug being delivered with each puff.
