a first time in human study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of gsk4381406 in healthy participants

Conditions: Colitis, Ulcerative

Summary: this is a 3-part first time in human (ftih) study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (pk) profile of gsk4381406 following administration of single ascending doses (part 1), repeat ascending doses (part 2), and repeat doses with an indomethacin challenge (part 3) in healthy adult participants. part 1 consists of 4 planned cohorts with up to 2 treatment periods in each and is expected to have 6 doses (but can accommodate up to 7 doses). the impact of food on pk of gsk4381406 will also be assessed. part 2 will investigate 14 days of repeat dosing in 3 cohorts with 3 dose levels. part 3 will evaluate the impact of repeat doses of gsk4381406 versus placebo on indomethacin induced changes in small intestinal permeability in healthy participants.

over-the-counter or prescription medication, including herbal medications and vitamins within 7 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to dosing until after follow-up visit, unless in the opinion of the investigator and the gsk medical monitor, the medication will not interfere with the study procedures or compromise participant safety * use of a systemic antimicrobial within 30 days of screening * the use of nsaids, including aspirin, are not permitted throughout the study (except on part 3 indomethacin challenge) and should not have been taken within 14 days immediately preceding the first dose of study intervention. for analgesia, paracetamol (acetaminophen) at doses of less than or equal to (≤)4 gram per day (g/day) is permitted * unable to refrain from consumption of red wine, seville oranges, grapefruit, or grapefruit juice and/or pummelos, exotic citrus fruits, grapefruit hybrids or fruit juices from 7 days prior to first dose of study intervention until completion of the follow up period * live vaccine(s) within 1 month prior to screening or plans to receive such vaccines during the study * participation in the study would result in loss of blood or blood products in excess of 450 millilitre (ml) within the last 3 months prior to the screening visit. blood donation during the study is not permitted * exposure to more than 4 new chemical entities within 12 months prior to the first dosing day * current enrolment or past participation in another investigational study in which an investigational intervention (e.g., drug, vaccine, invasive device) was administered within the last 40 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before the first day of dosing (day 1) * presence of hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag) at screening or within 3 months prior to first dose of study intervention * positive hepatitis c antibody test result at screening or within 3 months prior to first dose of study intervention * positive hepatitis c ribo nucleic acid (rna) test result at screening or within 3 months prior to first dose of study intervention. * positive pre-study drug/alcohol screen * regular use of known drugs of abuse, including tetrahydrocannabinol. * positive human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) antibody test. * evidence of active or latent tuberculosis (tb) as documented by medical history and examination, and tb testing: a positive (not indeterminate) tb test such as quantiferon-tb gold plus test * positive smoke breathalyzer levels indicative of smoking history at screening and each in-house admission to the clinical research unit or regular use of tobacco- or nicotine-containing products (e.g., nicotine patches or vaporizing devices) within 6 months prior to screening. * estimated glomerular filtration rate (egfr) of \ 30 milligram per gram (mg/g) (\>3 milligram per millimoles \[mg/mmol\]) at screening. * electrocardiogram (ecg) evidence of ischemic heart disease as determined by the investigator. * positive test for coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) infection or signs and symptoms suggestive of covid-19 * regular excess alcohol consumption within 6 months prior to the study defined as an average weekly intake of \>14 units for males and females * hypersensitivity to any of the study interventions, or components thereof, or drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator or medical monitor, contraindicates participation in the study additional exclusions for part 3 cohort only - * medical history of nsaids hypersensitivities, bronchial asthma, psychiatric and neurologic disorders, gastrointestinal disorders (including gastroesophageal reflux disease \[gord\], gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and previous gi bleeding), cardiac or renal disease, coagulation
