A Study to Assess the Effects of GSK573719/VI Combination and GSK573719 Monotherapy in Subjects With Moderate Hepatic Impairment and Matched Healthy Volunteers

An Open-label, Non-randomized, Pharmacokinetic and Safety Study of Single Dose GSK573719 + GW643444 (VI) Combination and Repeat Doses of GSK573719 in Healthy Subjects and in Subjects With Moderate Hepatic Impairment

This study will assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of GSK573719 and GSK573719/vilanterol combination in healthy subjects and subjects with moderate hepatic impairment. The results of this study will provide guidance on the use of the product in patients with hepatic impairment.

GSK573719 is being developed as a monotherapy and in combination with vilanterol for the treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). This study will assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of inhaled GSK573719/ vilanterol (VI) and GSK573719 in healthy subjects and in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment. Nine subjects with moderate hepatic impairment will be recruited, together with nine matched healthy volunteers.

There is a possibility that when used by patients with impaired hepatic function the pharmacokinetics of inhaled GSK573719 or GSK572719/VI may be altered. The results of this study will therefore provide guidance on the use of GSK573719 and GSK573719/VI in moderate hepatically impaired patients.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Exposure to more than four new chemical entities within 12 months prior to the first dosing day.
• History of sensitivity to any of the study medications, or components thereof or a history of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator or GSK Medical Monitor, contraindicates their participation.
• Where participation in the study would result in donation of blood or blood products in excess of 500 mL within a 56 day period.
• Pregnant females as determined by positive serum or urine hCG test at screening or prior to dosing.

• Unwillingness or inability to follow the procedures outlined in the protocol.
• Subject is mentally or legally incapacitated.
• Unable to refrain from consumption of red wine, seville oranges, grapefruit or grapefruit juice and/or pummelos, exotic citrus fruits, grapefruit hybrids or fruit juices from 7 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
• The subject is unable to use the novel dry powder inhaler correctly Healthy Subjects
• Subjects with any predisposing condition that might interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of drugs or any previous gastrointestinal (GI) surgery condition which the investigator considers sufficiently significant to interfere with the conduct, completion, or results of this trial or constitutes an unacceptable risk to the subject.
• A positive pre-study Hepatitis B surface antigen or positive Hepatitis C antibody result within 3 months of screening
• Current or chronic history of liver disease, or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones)
• History of regular alcohol consumption within 6 months of the study defined as: an average weekly intake of greater than 21 units for males or 14 units for females
• Unable to refrain from the use of prescription or non-prescription drugs, including vitamins, herbal and dietary supplements (including St John's Wort) within 7 days (or 14 days if the drug is a potential enzyme inducer) or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study medication

Hepatically impaired subjects:

• If in the opinion of the examining physician, an unstable cardiovascular, renal, pulmonary, endocrine, metabolic, neurological, haematological or gastrointestinal condition is present or any other significant medical condition which the investigator considers sufficiently serious to interfere with the conduct, completion, or results of this trial or constitutes an unacceptable risk to the subject.
• Severe ascities (Child-Pugh ascites score of 3) upon clinical exam, including physical exam and abdominal ultrasound at screening. Subjects identified to have moderate ascities by ultrasound examination may be included at the discretion of the Investigator with prior agreement from the sponsor.
• History of oesophageal bleeding within the last 6 months before dosing.
• Significant hepatic encephalopathy, degree of CNS impairment or other signs of hepatic function deterioration which the investigator considers sufficiently serious to interfere with the informed consent, conduct, completion, or results of this trial or constitutes an unacceptable risk to the subject.

• Evidence of current significant infection
• Subjects who develop symptoms such as infections or haemorrhage between screening and dosing must not be included in the study

• Subjects with a diagnosis of primary biliary disease such as cholestasis or sclerosing cholangitis
• Subjects who need to take any concomitant medication, either prescribed or overthe- counter, which may in the opinion of the Investigator, interfere in any way with the study procedure or be a safety concern. In particular subjects taking medications that significantly inhibit P450 CYP3A4 (e.g. ketoconazole) must not be included in this study
