Brief summary: The potential for a drug interaction between Darapladib and Rosuvastatin is felt to be low and it would be helpful to quantify this risk in man in order to guide prescribing physicians. The primary aims of this study are to estimate the potential effects of repeat doses of Darapladib on the PK of Rosuvastatin as well as evaluating safety and tolerability. Two part approaches are planned for this study. Part A of the study will examine the effects of repeat doses Darapladib on the PK of Rosuvastatin in healthy volunteers of Caucasian descent. Based on whether a significant increase in Rosuvastatin exposure is observed in Caucasians in Part A, a decision will be made regarding whether to proceed with a conditional Part B to examine this effect in healthy volunteers of Far-East Asian descent.

In both parts, subjects will receive Rosuvastatin 10 milligrams (mg) once daily (QD) for 1 day during the first treatment period (Treatment Period 1), followed by a 4 day PK sampling period/wash-out. Subjects will then receive darapladib 160 mg QD for the next 10 days with 24-hour PK sampling on the last day (Day 14 of the study). Immediately following this, all subjects will then receive the combination of Darapladib 160 mg and Rosuvastatin 10 mg for 1 day and continued Darapladib dosing of 160 mg QD for additional 3 days (Treatment Period 2) while blood samples are collected to assess Rosuvastatin PK. Plasma samples collected on Day 15 will be analyzed for both Rosuvastatin and Darapladib concentrations.

Subjects will be required to return to the unit approximately 10 to 14 days following the last dose of study medication for a clinic visit for assessments and then will return again at 35 ±7 days following the last dose for the final follow-up visit of the study. The duration of each subject's participation in the study from screening to follow-up will be approximately three months.

Approximately 18 evaluable subjects will be enrolled in Part A and another 18 subjects will be enrolled in Part B (if conducted) to complete dosing and all assessments.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Healthy as determined by a responsible and experienced physician, based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and cardiac monitoring.

* Far East Asian subjects must have been born in their native countries and have resided less than 10 years outside their native countries \[for Part B only\].
* Far East Asian subjects must have maintained a lifestyle, including diet, without significant change since leaving his/her native country \[for Part B only\].
* A female subject is eligible to participate if she is of: Non-childbearing potential defined as pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea \[in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone \> 40 milliliter of urine (MlU)/ milliliter (mL) and estradiol \< 40 picogram/mL (\<147 picomoles/liter is confirmatory\] or Child-bearing potential and is abstinent or agrees to use one of the contraception methods for an appropriate period of time (as determined by the product label or investigator) prior to the start of dosing to sufficiently minimize the risk of pregnancy at that point. Female subjects must agree to use contraception until follow-up.
* Body mass index within the range 19 to 37 kilogram/meter\^2 (inclusive)

Exclusion Criteria:
