Summary

GSK1070806 is a humanised monoclonal antibody that blocks a protein present in the body called Interleukin-18. The main purpose of this study is to test GSK1070806 in healthy and obese male subjects with normal immune systems to find out how safe this drug is and how long the body takes to get rid of it. The study consists of 2 parts. Part 1 will consist of 6 groups of healthy male subjects and Part 2 will consist of 3 groups of obese male subjects. A total of 89 subjects is planned for this study. Subjects in each group will receive one dose of the study drug or placebo. Dosing in Part 2 will not start until dosing of the first 4 groups is completed in Part 1 and the preliminary safety and pharmacokinetic data from these 4 groups in Part 1 has been reviewed. Both parts will be conducted single-blind and with a placebo control. Within each group, allocation of subjects to placebo or active treatment (GSK1070806) will be randomised.

DRUG

GSK1070806

The study drug, GSK1070806, is a humanised monoclonal antibody. Antibodies are proteins that are made by white blood cells during an immune reaction. They circulate in the blood and attach to foreign proteins called antigens in order to destroy or neutralise them. Humanised monoclonal antibodies are a type of protein that is genetically engineered to resemble a human protein (humanised). GSK1070806 is designed to block a specific protein that exists in the body called Interleukin-18. Interleukin-18 works within the immune system, i.e. the body's defence system, which helps protect it from disease, bacteria and viruses. Interleukin-18 activates the immune system to fight infections and may also occasionally cause inflammation.
