A Study to Estimate the Effect of Formulation on the Relative Absorption of SB-751689 Administered to Healthy Women

An Open-Label, Randomized, Five Period Crossover Study to Estimate the Relative Bioavailability of Five Formulations of 400mg SB-751689 (a Calcium-Sensing Receptor Antagonist) Administered as a Single Oral Dose to Healthy Postmenopausal Females

This study will examine the effects of formulation on the relative bioavailability of SB-751689 (400 mg) administered to healthy postmenopausal women. Subjects will receive a single oral dose of each formulation, with five formulations of SB-751689 tested in total. Blood samples will be taken up to 24 hours postdose after each dose administration. This study will provide information for future possible formulation development of SB-751689 for Phase III.

Exclusion criteria:

• Any clinically relevant biological or physical abnormality found or reported at screening which, in the opinion of the investigator, is clinically significant and would preclude safe participation in this study

• History of clinically significant cardiovascular disease
• Medical conditions that might alter bone metabolism
• Serum parathyroid hormone (iPTH) test levels outside the reference range at screening
