Trial overview
Official title: A single dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of GSK1550188 in Chinese subjects with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
Trial description: In China, Belimumab (GSK1550188) will be developed for a dosing regimen of once-monthly intravenous (IV) infusion for the treatment of SLE. This open-label, single dose study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of belimumab in Chinese SLE subjects. A total of approximately 20 subjects will be enrolled to receive IV infusion of 10 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) GSK1550188 on Day 0 for the treatment of SLE. Subjects will be followed for 84 days after the administration of drug.

- Have a planned surgical procedure, or a history of any other medical disease, or laboratory abnormalities, or conditions which would make the subject (in the opinion of the Investigator) unsuitable for the study.

- Laboratory Abnormalities: Have a Grade 3 or greater laboratory abnormality based on the protocol toxicity scale except for the following that are allowed:
- Stable Grade 3 prothrombin time (PT) secondary to warfarin treatment.
- Stable Grade 3/4 proteinuria (=<6 g/24 hour equivalent by spot urine protein to creatinine ratio allowed).
- Stable Grade 3 hypoalbuminemia due to lupus nephritis, and not related to liver disease or malnutrition.
- Stable Grade 3 neutropenia or stable Grade 3 white blood cell count.
- Subjects who have evidence of serious suicide risk including any history of suicidal behavior in the last 6 months or who, in the investigator's opinion, pose a significant suicide risk.
