- Brief Summary
This is an open label, PET study in healthy male subjects to determine if GSK2647544 is able to cross the blood-brain-barrier. The study will use GSK2647544 radiolabelled with fluorine-18 (\[18F\] GSK2647544) to determine the ratio of the concentration of the compound in tissue to that in plasma at equilibrium, expressed as the PET volume of distribution (VT). The study will consist of at least four visits; 2 screening visits, scanning day and follow-up. On Day 1 (scanning day) the subject will receive a single oral dose of GSK2647544 (100 mg) followed approximately 2 hours later by a single intravenous (IV) infusion of \[18F\]-GSK2647544 and a dynamic PET scan. Arterial and venous blood sampling will be used to determine the plasma kinetics of \[18F\]-GSK2647544 and unlabeled GSK2647544. In addition, each subject will undergo a structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain to aid in the definition of neuroanatomy. The dose of GSK2647544 was selected based on the review of the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamic (PD) data obtained in the first time in human (FTIH) study.

Group Intervention Description GSK2647544 oral and [18F]GSK2647544 IV bolus GSK2647544 oral All subjects will receive a single oral dose of GSK2647544 100 milligram (mg) approximately 2 hours before administration of \[18F\] GSK2647544 and a dynamic PET scan. \[18F\]-GSK2647544 will be administered to the subject as an IV bolus during the PET scan, which will be conducted for up to 120 minute post the injection of \[18F\]GSK2647544 GSK2647544 oral and [18F]GSK2647544 IV bolus [18F]GSK2647544 IV bolus All subjects will receive a single oral dose of GSK2647544 100 milligram (mg) approximately 2 hours before administration of \[18F\] GSK2647544 and a dynamic PET scan. \[18F\]-GSK2647544 will be administered to the subject as an IV bolus during the PET scan, which will be conducted for up to 120 minute post the injection of \[18F\]GSK2647544
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Whole brain PET VT of [18F]-GSK2647544 At Day 1 The subject will be administered GSK2647544 radiolabelled with fluorine-18 (\[18F\]-GSK2647544) to determine the ratio of the concentration of the compound in tissue to that in plasma at equilibrium, expressed as the PET VT
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Safety and tolerability assessment following oral administration of GSK2647544 Up to Day 14 The safety and tolerability assessment including adverse events assessment; clinical hematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis and renal function tests; single 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) and vital sign measurements including systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), pulse rate and respiratory rate.
GSK2647544 PK assessment Pre dose and at 30minute, 1, 2, 4, 6 hours post dose on Day 1 Blood sample will be collected for PK analysis of GSK2647544 including maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) and time to Cmax (tmax).
