Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Total Cough Count Over 8 Hours at Visits 1, 2 and 3 (Part A)
Up to 8 hours post-dose at Visits 1, 2 and 3 (Part A)

Total cough count (8 hours \[hr\] of recording) was conducted at Visits 1, 2 and 3. Coughs were counted by a cough monitor fitted to the participants for 8 hr post Dose 1. The cough count was calculated as the sum of two four hour cough count totals, with the first four hours starting from the time of the first dose and the second four hours starting at the time of the second dose. The cough counts were sum-up by the treatments received by the participants. Number of coughs in 8 hr period was loge transformed and used for the analysis. Values were imputed pro-rata if 8 hr epoch was less than 8 hr. Mean of the total cough counts recorded post dose of every treatment i.e. placebo or GSK2339345 1000mcg was reported.

Total Cough Count Excluding Transient Coughs Over 8 Hours at Visits 1, 2 and 3 (Part A)
Up to 8 hours post-dose at Visits 1, 2 and 3 (Part A)

Total cough count (8 hr of recording) was conducted at Visits 1, 2 and 3. Coughs were counted by a cough monitor fitted to the participants for 8 hr post Dose 1. The cough count was calculated as the sum of two four hour cough count totals, with the first 4-hrs starting from the time of the first dose and the second four hours starting at the time of the second dose. The cough counts were sum-up by the treatments received by the participants. Transient cough was the total number of coughs experienced in the two mins from the start of the first inhalation of a dose. Number of coughs excluding transient cough in 8 hr period was loge transformed and used for the analysis. Values were imputed pro-rata if 8 hr epoch was less than 8 hr. Mean of the total cough counts excluding transient cough recorded post dose of every treatment i.e. placebo or GSK2339345 1000 mcg was reported.

ArmTypeDescription
Part AEXPERIMENTALSubjects will receive treatment A (placebo) or treatment B (GSK2339345) in 3 visits of part A (one treatment per visit) in one of the following four sequences: ABA, ABB, BAA, and BAB.
Part BEXPERIMENTALSubjects will receive treatment A or treatment B in 2 visits of part B (one treatment per visit) in one of the following two sequences: AB and BA. Subjects will then orally inhale 10 microliter (mcL) of a capsaicin solution of strength ranging from 0.49 micromolar (mcM) to 1000 mcM, which will be administered using a breath activated dosimeter approximately 5 minutes post-dosing with treatment A or B at Visits 4 and 5.
Part CEXPERIMENTALSubjects will receive treatment A or treatment B in 2 visits of part C (one treatment per visit) in one of the following two sequences: AB and BA. Subjects will then orally inhale 10 mcL of a citric acid solution of strength ranging from 0.03 to 4.0 M, which will be administered using a breath activated dosimeter approximately 5 minutes post-dosing with treatment A or B at Visits 6 and 7.
1. Inhaled GSK2339345/Placebo Single Dose (Cohort 1)EXPERIMENTALadministered three ascending doses of GSK2339345 or placebo as a solution via an aqueous droplet inhaler over four treatment periods, with at least 5 days washout between doses
2. Inhaled GSK2339345/Placebo Repeat Dose (Cohort 2)EXPERIMENTALadministered a dose of GSK2339345 or placebo, four times a day on two consecutive days. Each subject will receive either GSK2339345 or matching placebo as a solution administered via an aqueous droplet inhaler
