Relative Bioavailability Study of Two Montelukast Sodium (GW483100) 5 Milligrams (mg) Chewable Tablets and One Reference Montelukast Sodium 5 mg Chewable Tablet in Healthy Adult Subjects

An Open-label, Randomised, Single Dose, Three-Way Crossover, Six Sequence, Pilot Study to Determine the Relative Bioavailability of Montelukast Sodium 5mg From Two Candidate Chewable Tablet Formulations of GW483100 Relative to One 5mg Chewable Tablet of Reference Montelukast Sodium in Healthy Adult Subjects Under Fasting Conditions

This study is designed to estimate the bioavailability of montelukast from the 5 milligrams (mg) montelukast sodium (GW483100) test formulations relative to 5 mg montelukast sodium reference chewable tablets (innovator product). It is an open-label, randomized, single dose, three-way cross over, six sequence study in 18 healthy human subjects. Each subject will participate in all three treatment periods. Subjects will be randomized to one of six sequences and administered one of the three treatments A, B or C in each treatment period, where Treatment A is 5mg chewable tablet of reference 5 mg montelukast sodium reference chewable tablets (innovator product), Treatment B is test formulation 1: 5mg montelukast sodium (GW483100) chewable tablet and Treatment C is test formulation 2: 5mg montelukast sodium (GW483100) chewable tablet. The treatment periods will be separated by a washout period of 7 to 14 days. Total duration in the study for each subject will be approximately 8 weeks from screening to the follow-up visit.

GSK Modified List of Highly Effective Methods for Avoiding Pregnancy in FRP This list does not apply to FRP with same sex partners, when this is their preferred and usual lifestyle or for subjects who are and will continue to be abstinent from penile-vaginal intercourse on a long term and persistent basis.

• Contraceptive subdermal implant that meets the standard operating procedure (SOP)effectiveness criteria including a <1% rate of failure per year, as stated in the product label

These allowed methods of contraception are only effective when used consistently, correctly and in accordance with the product label. The investigator is responsible for ensuring that subjects understand how to properly use these methods of contraception.
