Trial overview
Official title: A Randomized, Single-Blind, Dose Escalation, First Time in Human Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Single and Repeat Doses of GSK2878175 in Healthy Adults
Trial description: GSK2878175 is a site IV NS5B non-nucleoside inhibitor (NNI) being developed for the treatment of chronic HCV infection.  This study represents the first administration of GSK2878175 in humans to define safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) following single and repeat doses of GSK2878175 in healthy subjects.This is a Phase 1, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation study to determine the safety, tolerability, and PK profile of GSK2878175 in single (Part 1) and repeat doses (Part 2) in healthy subjects. In addition the study will explore the effect of a moderate (30%) fat meal on single dose PK endpoints in healthy subjects.

Safety as assessed by hematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG) intervals, ECG rhythm telemetry, pulmonary function tests, respiratory rate and lung auscultation.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:

 - The subject is able to understand and comply with protocol requirements, instructions and protocol-stated restrictions and is likely to complete the study as planned.
 - Healthy as determined by a responsible and experienced physician, based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and ECGs. There should be no evidence of cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, biliary, gastrointestinal, or renal disorders, or cancer within the past 5 years (except localized or in situ cancer of the skin). A subject with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameter(s) which is/are not specifically listed in the inclusion or exclusion criteria and are reported as outside of the normal reference range for healthy volunteers may be included only if the Investigator considers the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk to the subject and will not interfere with the study procedures.
 - Body weight >50 Kilograms(kg) (110 pounds) for men and >45kg (99pounds) women and a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5-32 kg/meter^2 inclusive will be allowed.
 - Male or female between 18 and 55 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 defined as pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy [for this definition, “documented” refers to the outcome of the investigator's/designee’s review of the subject's medical history for study eligibility, as obtained via a verbal interview with the subject or from the subject’s medical records]; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea [in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) >40 milli international unit [MlU]/milliliter [mL] and estradiol <40 picogram [pg]/mL [<147 picomoles /litre] is confirmatory]..
 - Male subjects with female partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use contraception method. This criterion must be followed from the time of the first dose of study medication until the follow up visit.his criterion must be followed from the time of the first dose of study medication until the follow up visit (7 to 14 days post last dose).
 - Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST), Alanine Amino Transferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, and creatinine less than the upper limits of normal. TSH within normal reference range. At the discretion of the principle investigator (PI) or sub-PI, these values may be repeated once.
 - White blood cell count (including neutrophil counts), hemoglobin, platelets and reticulocytes greater than the lower limits of normal. At the discretion of the PI or sub-PI, these values may be repeated once.
 - The subject’s systolic blood pressure is inside the range of 90-140 millimeters of mercury (mmHg,) and diastolic blood pressure is inside the range of 45-90 mmHg. Heart rate is inside the range of 50-100 beat per minute (bpm) for female subjects or 45-100 bpm for male subjects.
