Summary:

      This study is the first administration of GSK2890457 in humans. The study will be conducted
      in 3 parts: - Part A (conducted at a single investigative site) will determine the safety and
      tolerability of GSK2890457 alone in healthy subjects during six weeks of dosing, as well as
      evaluating the potential for a pharmacokinetic interaction with metformin. Part A consists of
      Screening, Treatment (6 weeks) and Follow-up periods. - Part B (conducted at multiple sites)
      will determine safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics (PD) in subjects with Type 2
      diabetes (T2D) when co-dosed for six weeks with liraglutide (Victoza). Part B consists of
      Screening, Run-in (1 week), Stabilization (12 weeks), Treatment (6 weeks) and Follow-up
      periods. - Part C (conducted at multiple sites) will determine safety, tolerability, and PD
      in subjects with T2D when co-dosed for 6 weeks with metformin. Part C consists of Screening,
      Run-in (1 week), Stabilization (12 weeks), Treatment (6 weeks) and Follow-up periods.
