A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of Repeat Doses of GSK2330672 Administration in Subjects With Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC) and Symptoms of Pruritus

A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Repeat Doses of GSK2330672 Administration in Patients With Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC) and Symptoms of Pruritus

This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess safety and tolerability of GSK2330672 administration in subjects with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and symptoms of pruritus. It is a double-blind, crossover study with subjects receiving placebo or GSK23306772 in random order during two 14-day treatment periods. Additionally, the study will determine GSK2330672 exposure and interactions with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). The total duration of subject participation will be 14 weeks for screening (45 days) and the treatment period. Subjects who are eligible for enrolment will participate in a 2-week placebo run-in period. Subjects will be randomized in a crossover fashion (Sequence 1 / Sequence 2) to receive placebo or GSK2330672 treatment during two consecutive 2-week study periods. Subjects will then participate in a 2-week placebo dosing follow-up period ending in final follow-up assessments. Study results will be utilized to form a benefit: risk profile for GSK2330672 in PBC that will determine plans for progression to exploratory efficacy trials

Molar Ratio of AUC(0-24) between metabolites (TUDCA and GUDCA) and parent (UDCA)	Approximately 2 mL of whole blood was collected for UDCA and it's metabolites PK analysis at Pre-dose (0.0, of first dose of the day), 6.0, 12.0 (Pre-dose of second dose of the day), 12.5, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 17.0, 19.0, 21.0 and 24.0 hr on Day 14 (end of Run-in period), 28 (end of Period 1), and 42 (end of Period 2). Blood sampling for UDCA and it's metabolites PK analysis was only performed in participants who were administering UDCA.	Pre-dose (0.0, of first dose of the day), 6.0, 12.0 (Pre-dose of second dose of the day), 12.5, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 17.0, 19.0, 21.0 and 24.0 hr on Day 14 (end of Run-in period), 28 (end of Period 1), and 42 (end of Period 2).
