• Unwillingness or inability to follow the procedures outlined in the protocol. Rationale: Set to secure study quality
• Subject is mentally or legally incapacitated. Rationale: Set to secure study quality
• Subjects with ECG results considered clinically significant by the investigator. Rationale: To exclude inappropriate subjects for the evaluation of the safety and pharmacokinetics of GSK1550188.
• Subjects with a supine systolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg or greater than140 mmHg and/or a supine diastolic blood pressure less than 55 mmHg or greater than 90 mmHg and/or systolic blood pressure drop from supine to standing of greater than 30 mmHg. Rationale: Set in consideration of subjects' safety related to the IV route of administration.
• Immunoglobulin (M, A, G) level is less than LLN at screening. Rationale: To exclude inappropriate subjects for the evaluation of the safety and pharmacokinetics of GSK1550188.
• History of anaphylactic reaction to any food, drug, or insect bite/sting. Rationale: To exclude inappropriate subjects for the evaluation of the safety and pharmacokinetics of GSK1550188.
