Brief summary:
GSK has in-licensed a novel NNRTI-class candidate (GSK2248761, IDX12899) for the treatment of subjects with HIV-1 infection from Idenix Pharmaceuticals. Idenix Pharmaceuticals completed a proof-of-concept study evaluating GSK2248761 monotherapy over seven days in forty treatment-naïve subjects infected with HIV-1. GSK2248761 doses sequentially evaluated were 800 mg QD, 400 mg QD, 200 mg QD and 100mg QD.

This study will evaluate a lower dose, or doses, of GSK2248761 to better characterize the dose-response and concentration-response curves. The results from this study will be used to select doses for future clinical studies in HIV-1 infected subjects.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: In Cohort 1 subjects will receive either GSK2248761 30 mg or placebo once a day for 7 days. On Day 8 subjects will receive either Kaletra or HAART for 28 days. The doctor will choose the most appropriate medications for HAART. arm 2: In Cohort 2 subjects will receive either GSK2248761 in the range of 10 mg - 20 mg or 40 mg - 90 mg or placebo once a day for 7 days. On Day 8 subjects will receive either Kaletra or HAART for 28 days. The doctor will choose the most appropriate medications for HAART. The dose for Cohort 2 will be determined following evaluation of results from Cohort 1. Cohort 2 may not be done.

Interventions: intervention 1: GSK2248761 intervention 2: Lopinavir/ritonavir intervention 3: HAART intervention 4: Placebo intervention 5: GSK2248761
