Study summary

Rilapladib is a potent and selective inhibitor of lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), which was previously under development for the treatment of atherosclerosis and is currently being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

This study is a single-center, open-label, two-part study. The two study parts will run independently. Subjects dosed in one part of this study will not be permitted to participate in the other part.

Part A will investigate the pharmacokinetic profile of rilapladib and its metabolites, SB-664601 and GSK1174379, after single dose and steady state dosing of rilapladib 250 milligram (mg) along with the biliary and urinary elimination pathways of rilapladib 250 mg. Part B will determine the effect of repeat administration of itraconazole on the PK of a single oral dose of rilapladib 25 mg.

Healthy male and female subjects, aged 18-65 years, will be recruited for this study. Ten subjects will be recruited for Part A and 20 subjects will be recruited for Part B.
