• Receipt of live vaccination within 30 days of dosing or plan to receive live vaccination during the study.
• Use of prescription drugs or non-prescription drugs, including non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug (NSAIDs), within 7 days prior to dosing, if in the opinion of the Investigator (in consultation with the GlaxoSmithKline [GSK] Medical Monitor if required) the medication will interfere with the study procedures or compromise participant safety.
• The participant has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigational product within the following time period prior to the first dosing day of the current study: 30 days, 5 half-lives or twice the duration of the biological effect of the investigational product (whichever is longer).

• Presence of tattoos, naevi or other skin abnormalities on the volar forearm Fitzpatrick skin color grades V in the opinion of the investigator, interfere with study assessments
