Skin Irritation Study of GSK2894512 Cream

Skin Irritation Study of GSK2894512 Cream-An Evaluator-Blinded Study to Evaluate the Skin Irritation of GSK2894512 Cream and Placebo Following Single Application by Simple-Patch Test and Photo-Patch Test, and Repeat Application Under Non-occlusive Condition in Healthy Japanese Subjects

GSK2894512 is a novel anti-inflammatory agent that is currently under development for the topical treatment of atopic dermatitis and chronic plaque psoriasis. This study will be a Phase I, single-center, randomized, partial-blinded (evaluator blinded) study which consists of two parts (Part 1 and 2). Part 1 of this study will assess skin irritation following a single application of GSK2894512 cream at 2 concentrations (e.g. 0.5% and 1%) and placebo by simple-patch test and photo-patch test under semi-occlusive conditions in 20 healthy Japanese volunteers. Part 2 of this study will assess skin irritation following repeat application at 0.5% and 1% of GSK2894512 cream and placebo for 7 days under non-occlusive condition in 6 healthy Japanese volunteers. The study will have Screening visit which will occur within 30 days from the Day 1 visit of each part. Eligible subjects will be able to participate either of Part 1 or Part 2. Subjects will visit the site on Day -1, and hospitalized until the end of all assessments on Day 4 (Part 1) or Day 7 (Part 2). Subjects will re-visit the site on Day 8 (Part 1) or Day 15 (Part 2) for follow-up assessments. This study will be the first to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of GSK2894512 cream after single and repeat application in Japanese subjects. Results from this study will enable further clinical investigation in the Japanese population.

• Clinically-relevant skin disease, including psoriasis, eczema, atopic dermatitis, acne, dysplastic nevi, or other skin pathologies, or a history of skin cancer, that may, in the opinion of the investigator, contraindicate participation or interfere with test site evaluations.
• Considered immunocompromised, or has a clinically-relevant history of or currently suffering from any disease or condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might affect the evaluation of the study product or place the subject at undue risk.
• A positive pre-study syphilis, Hepatitis B surface antigen, Hepatitis C antibody, Human Immunodeficiency Virus antigen antibody or Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus-1 result of screening.

• Exposure to more than four new chemical entities within 12 months prior to the first dosing day.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Part 1 (Single Application); All subjects will have two sets (left and right) of 4 semi-occlusive test patches applied to randomized test sites on their upper backs on Day 1. Test patches on left back will be for simple-patch test and those on right back will be for photo-patch test. Each set will consist of approximately 150 micro liter (0.15 mL) of the following study treatments: GSK2894512 0.5% cream, GSK2894512 1% cream, placebo (cream vehicle without the active ingredient) and an empty patch. The test patches will be applied for 24 hrs (photo-patch test) or 48 hrs (simple-patch test).	Drug: GSK2894512 Cream; GSK2894512 cream supplied will be white to off-white cream packaged in 28-gram laminate tubes of 2 concentrations: 0.5% and 1%, to be applied topically.; Drug: Vehicle Cream; Vehicle Cream (placebo cream without active ingredient) supplied will be white to off-white cream packaged in 28-gram laminate tubes, to be applied topically.; Drug: Empty Patch; Empty patches without any ingredients will be used as negative control.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Part 1-Positive rate of skin irritability as assessed by simple-patch test following single application of GSK2894512 cream	Each test site for the simple-patch test will be evaluated at 30 minutes (min) and 24 hours (hrs) after removal of medication (48.5 hr and 72 hrs after application, respectively) based on the following criteria proposed by the patch test study group in Japan: no reaction (-); weak erythema (+-); erythema (+); erythema + edema (++); erythema + edema + papules, or vesicles (+++); bullae (++++). Except no reaction (-) and weak erythema (+-), rest all findings from simple-patch test will be considered as positive.	Up to Day 4
Part 1-Positive rate of photo-urticaria reaction as assessed by photo patch test following single application of GSK2894512 cream	For the photo-patch test, 4 test patches (right back) will be removed 24 hrs after application and the test sites will be exposed to 6.0 joule per square centimeter of ultraviolet A. Each test site will be evaluated at 30 minutes from the irradiation to determine whether there is photo-urticaria or not (i.e positive or negative).	Day 2
Part 1-Positive rate of photo-toxicity as assessed by photo patch test following single application of GSK2894512 cream	Post photo-urticaria evaluation, the test sites will be re-covered with empty patches, that will be removed at 24 hrs after removal of medication. The test sites will be evaluated at 30 min and 24 hrs after empty patches removal (48.5 and 72 hrs after application, respectively). Assessment Criteria includes: no reaction or similar to the non irradiation site (-); Slightly stronger than the non irradiation site (+-);Definitely stronger than the non irradiation site (+); 2 ranks stronger than the non irradiation site according to the criteria in Japan (++); 3 ranks stronger than the non irradiation site according to the criteria in Japan (+++). Test results of more than or equal to +- will be considered as positive.	Up to Day 4
Part 2- Positive rate of Skin irritability following repeat application of GSK2894512 cream	Each test site will be evaluated at 30 min after removal of medication based on the following criteria proposed by the patch test study group in Japan: no reaction (-); weak erythema (+-); erythema (+); erythema + edema (++); erythema + edema + papules, or vesicles (+++); bullae (++++). Except no reaction (-) and weak erythema (+-), rest all findings from simple-patch test will be considered as positive.	Day 1 to Day 8
Part 2- Skin observation (subjective symptom)	At each application site 2 hours following application of study drugs, skin observation (subjective symptom) from application to judgement (2 hours) will be heard from subjects. Symptoms will be recorded as a score ranging from 0-4, where 0=Normal, no discomfort; 1=an awareness, but no discomfort and no intervention required; 2=a noticeable discomfort that causes intermittent awareness; 3=a noticeable discomfort that causes intermittent awareness and interferes occasionally with normal daily activities; 4=a definite continuous discomfort that interferes with normal daily activities.	Day 1 to Day 7
