Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pharmacokinetic parameter of area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to 4 hours AUC(0-4) and from time zero (pre-dose) to last time of quantifiable concentration AUC(0-t)- Part Apre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 hours post-dose

AUC(0-4) is a measure of the average amount of study drug in the blood plasma over a period of 4 hours after the dose and AUC(0-t) is a measure average amount of study drug in the blood plasma over a period of last time of quantifiable concentration. Both the parameters were calculated by standard non-compartmental analysis. Blood samples for PK analysis were obtained at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 hours post-dose.

Maximum observed concentration (Cmax) following 10 hour sampling of a single dose of SB-705498 - Part Apre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 hours post-dose Day 1

Cmax is defined as the maximum or "peak" concentration of a drug observed after its administration. Cmax is one of the parameters of particular use in estimating the bioavailability of drugs, by measuring the total amount of drug absorbed. It was calculated by standard non-compartmental analysis. Blood samples for PK analysis were obtained at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 hours post-dose.

Time of occurrence of Cmax (Tmax) following 10 hour sampling of a single dose of SB-705498 -Part Apre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 hours post-dose

Tmax is defined as the time of occurrence of Cmax. Blood samples for PK analysis were obtained at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 hours post-dose.

Capsaicin concentration required to achieve Five or more coughs (C5) following a single dose of SB-705498 at Tmax as compared to baseline- Part ADay -1 (baseline) and Day 1 (2 hours post dose

The concentration of capsaicin required to elicit 5 coughs was analyzed. The distributional properties were investigated, and the endpoint was logged (base 2) for analysis and the difference from Day -1 (baseline) was taken (equivalent to ratio on log scale).

Capsaicin concentration required to achieve C5 following a single dose of SB-705498 or placebo- Part BDay -1, Day 1 (2hrs and 24 hrs post dose)

The concentration of capsaicin required to elicit 5 coughs was analyzed. The distributional properties were investigated, and the endpoint was logged (base 2) for analysis and the difference from Day -1 (baseline) was taken (equivalent to ratio on log scale).

Cough Count Per 24 hour following single dose of SB-705498 as compared to placebo- Part BDay -1 and Day 1 (2 and 24 hours)

24 hour cough count (rate/h) following single dose of SB-705498 as compared to placebo were analyzed by first log transforming the cough counts taken on Day -1 and on Day 1 of each period in the 24 hours post dose. The cough count rates were log(10) transformed.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants with ECG findings- Part BUp to Day 42

Single 12-lead ECGs was obtained at each time point during the study using an ECG machine. Participants with abnormal values have been presented.

Capsaicin concentration required to achieve two or more coughs (C2) following a single dose of SB-705498 at Tmax as compared to baseline- Part ADay -1 and Day 1 (2 hours post dose)

The concentration of capsaicin required to elicit 2 coughs was analyzed. The distributional properties were investigated, and the endpoint was logged (base 2) for analysis and the difference from Day -1 (baseline) was taken (equivalent to ratio on log scale).

Capsaicin concentration required to achieve C2 following a single dose of SB-705498 at Tmax as compared to baseline- Part BDay 1 (2 and 24 hours post dose)
Changes in the Cough Quality of Life Questionnaire (CQLQ) following a single dose of SB-705498 compared to placebo- Part BDay -1 and 14

It is a validated, 28-item assessment tool designed to evaluate decrements in quality of life due to chronic cough. This questionnaire measures cough-related symptoms, as well as the social implications and psychological impact. Examples of items include, "I cannot sleep at night" and "I cough and it makes me retch." The final score is obtained by summing the responses to 28 questions, each scored on a 1-4 scale, where 1 is "strongly disagree," and 4 is "strongly agree." The minimum and maximum CQLQ scores are 28 and 112 respectively, with increasing score indicating more severe impairment.

Urge to cough Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) following single dose of SB-705498- Part BDay -1 and Day 1 (pre-dose 2 and 24 hours)

VAS following single dose of SB-705498 was summarized on Day -1, and Day 1 pre-dose, 2 and 24 hours.

The concentration of capsaicin required to elicit 5 coughs was analyzed. The distributional properties were investigated, and the endpoint was logged (base 2) for analysis and the difference from Day -1 (baseline) was taken (equivalent to ratio on log scale).

Capsaicin concentration required to achieve C2 following a single dose of SB-705498 at 24 hours as compared to baseline- Part BDay -1 and Day 1 (2 and 24 hours post dose)

The concentration of capsaicin required to elicit 2 coughs was analyzed. The distributional properties were investigated, and the endpoint was logged (base 2) for analysis and the difference from Day -1 (baseline) was taken (equivalent to ratio on log scale).

The 24-hour cough count (rate) subdivided by day and night cough counts (rates) to give day/night specific values by treatment group-Part BUp to Day 2 (Period 2)

Different cough intervals were investigated, such as a day and night time rate. Participants were treated as a random effect in the model. The mean treatment difference and associated 95% confidence interval was back-transformed to provide a treatment ratio and 95% confidence interval for the ratio.
