Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics Study of Single and Repeated Doses of Topical GSK1278863

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind (subjects and investigators will be blinded, GSK internal personnel will not be blinded), parallel-group, two part (Part A, Part B) trial in healthy volunteers and subjects with diabetic foot ulcers. Part A is designed to evaluate single applications of GSK1278863 in one cohort of healthy volunteers (intact skin) and approximately 3 cohorts of diabetic subjects. Part B is designed to evaluate first single, and then repeat applications of GSK1278863 in diabetics, both in the clinic and by subjects at home. Part B will include approximately 3 cohorts in which the concentration of drug applied will be determined by pharmacokinetic data from Part A and earlier cohorts in Part B.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

- Healthy Volunteers (Part A Cohort 1)

  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin <=1.5xupper limit of normal (ULN) (isolated bilirubin >1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%).
  • [Single] corrected QT interval (QTc) < 450 millisecond (msec).
  • Healthy as determined by a responsible and experienced physician, based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and electrocardiogram (ECGs). A subject with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameters outside the reference range for the population being studied may be included only if the Investigator and the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Medical Monitor agree that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures. Subjects with hemoglobin (Hb) values higher than ULN the normal range should always be excluded from enrollment.
  • Male or female between 18 and 90 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
  • A female subject is eligible to participate if she is of non-childbearing potential (postmenopausal or pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy). Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the contraception methods in the protocol.
  • Male subjects with female partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use one of the contraception methods listed in the protocol.

Inclusion criteria

- DFU Subjects must meet healthy volunteer inclusion criteria and the following

  • Diagnosed with Type I or Type II diabetes mellitus.
  • Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) <=12%.

Note: If the subject has more than one qualifying DFU, the ulcer designated as the study ulcer will be at the discretion of the Investigator. Non-study ulcers being treated during the course of the study will be treated with moist wound therapy Standard of Care (SOC) identified under this study.
  • Adequate vascular perfusion of the affected limb within 30 days of screening, as defined by at least one of the following: (a) Transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure (TcPO2) >35 millimeter of mercury (mmHg).
