Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - GSK3179106
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: Cohort 1 - Subjects will receive 1 placebo and 3 escalating doses in one of the four treatment periods. The planned dose range is 10 mg to 200 mg. A review of safety and tolerability will occur prior to administration of the next dose level and the same procedure will be followed for each escalating dosing period. The actual doses to be administered may be adjusted based on safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic data at previous dose levels; these dose adjustments may involve either an increase or a decrease in the planned dose for both Cohorts 1 and 2

Experimental: Cohort 2 - Cohort 2 will proceed after completion of the treatment periods in Cohort 1. Subjects assigned to Cohort 2 will participate in up to 4 dosing periods which include up to 2 escalating doses and placebo in Periods 1 and 2, and a pilot food effect in Periods 3 and 4. A review of safety and tolerability will occur prior to administration of the next dose level and the same procedure will be followed for each escalating dosing period. The actual doses to be administered may be adjusted based on safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic data at previous dose levels; these dose adjustments may involve either an increase or a decrease in the planned dose for both Cohorts 1 and 2

* Current smoker or use of nicotine containing products within the past 3 months or unable to abstain from smoking tobacco or the use of nicotine-containing products while on study.
* 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 1 day prior to the first dose of study drug on Day 1 of each dosing period, until completion of the last PK blood sample time point for that dose period.
* Corrected QT interval to Fridericia's formula (QTcF) >450 milliseconds (msec)
* 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.
* 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 for each dosing period until Day 4 of each dosing period, unless in the opinion of the Investigator and GSK Medical Monitor the medication will not interfere with the study procedures or compromise subject safety. Paracetamol (<=2 grams per day) is acceptable.
* The subject has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigational product within the following time period prior to the first dosing day in the current study: 30 days, 5 half-lives or twice the duration of the biological effect of the investigational product (whichever is longer).
* Exposure to more than 4 investigational medicinal products within 12 months prior to the first dosing day

Summary
Brief summary
GSK3179106 is a potent and relatively selective inhibitor of RET kinase which has been designed to be a safe and effective therapy for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients .

This is a randomized, double-blind (sponsor unblind), placebo-controlled, dose escalating, four period, single-dose crossover, first time in human study to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of GSK3179106 in normal healthy subjects.

The study will be composed of 2 cohorts, each having screening (21 days prior to first dose of study drug), Treatment, and follow-up periods (7-10 days after their last dose \[Day 1 of dosing period 4\]). The Treatment period will include 4 dosing periods. Subjects will participate in either Cohort 1 or Cohort 2. The total duration of the study for each subject will be approximately 10 weeks. A sufficient number of healthy subjects will be screened to enrol 16 subjects who complete the planned study procedures. Each dosing period will be staggered so that only 2 of the 8 subjects will be administered study drug initially. Once 24 hours (h) have elapsed, and provided there are no safety concerns, the remainder of subjects scheduled for that dosing period may be dosed. A review of safety and tolerability will occur prior to administration of the next dose level. This same procedure will be followed for each escalating dosing period. Subjects assigned to Cohort 1 will participate in 1 placebo and 3 dose escalating periods. Subjects assigned to Cohort 2 will participate in up to 4 dosing periods which include up to 2 escalating doses and placebo in Periods 1 and 2, and a pilot food effect in Periods 3 and 4. Within each cohort, subjects will return for their next scheduled dosing period approximately 14 days after administration of the study drug during the prior dosing period. Cohort 2 will proceed after completion of the treatment periods in Cohort 1. Each subject will be enrolled in only one cohort. The planned dose range is 10 milligram (mg) to 200 mg in Cohort 1. The actual doses to be administered may be adjusted based on safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic data at previous dose levels; these dose adjustments may involve either an increase or a decrease in the planned dose for both Cohorts 1 and 2. There are no formal hypotheses being tested in this study.
