safety, tolerability and blood sampling of gsk3923868 administered via dry powder inhaler to healthy participants of chinese, japanese and european ancestry

Conditions: Respiratory Tract Infections

Summary: this study is designed to understand how the drug gsk3923868 works in the bodies of healthy people from japanese, chinese, and european ancestries. this is important to meet the rules for including these groups in future worldwide studies. the study is carefully planned to reduce differences that might come from comparing results across different studies and locations, making it easier to compare results between these ethnic groups. the main goal is to check if gsk3923868 is safe and easy to tolerate when given as a single inhaled dose to healthy people from these three ancestries. the study also wants to see how the drug moves in the blood after a single inhaled dose in these groups. on the first day of the study, participants will be randomly chosen to receive either a single dose of gsk3923868 or a placebo. the aim is to have enough people take part so that 10 healthy people from each ancestry group (a total of 30 people) can successfully finish the study. should a participant withdraw from the study before completion, the gsk medical monitor and the investigator may select a replacement. the replacement participant will be assigned the same treatment as the original participant.
