Tubal ligation Hysteroscopic tubal occlusion procedure with follow-up confirmation of bilateral tubal occlusion Hysterectomy Bilateral Oophorectomy

* Postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea (in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone [FSH] and estradiol levels consistent with menopause [refer to laboratory reference ranges for confirmatory levels]). Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the highly effective contraception methods if they wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of post-menopausal status prior to study enrolment.

* Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form and in this protocol.
Minimum age

Key exclusion criteria
* A history of life-threatening asthma, which is defined as an asthma episode that required intubation and/or was associated with hypercapnia, respiratory arrest or hypoxic seizures within the last 5 years
* Other significant pulmonary diseases to include (but not limited to): pneumonia, pneumothorax, atelectasis, pulmonary fibrotic disease, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or other respiratory abnormalities other than asthma.
* Respiratory Infection: Culture-documented or suspected bacterial or viral infection of the upper or lower respiratory tract, sinus or middle ear that is not resolved within 4 weeks of screening that led to a change in asthma management OR in the opinion of the Investigator, is expected to affect the subject's asthma status OR the subject's ability to participate in the study. However, subjects can be rescreened to allow for an adequate time period (of at least 4 weeks) between resolution of the infection and the date of randomisation.
* Asthma Exacerbation: Any asthma exacerbation requiring oral corticosteroids within 12 weeks of screening or that resulted in overnight hospitalization requiring additional treatment for asthma within 6 months prior to screening.
* Pre-defined concomitant medications and restrictions of nitrate-rich foods
* Tobacco Use: Current smokers or a smoking history of >=10 pack years. A subject may not have used any inhaled tobacco products in 12 weeks preceding the screening visit.
* Previous Participation: Exposure to more than four new chemical entities within 12 months prior to the first dosing day.
* Other concurrent Diseases/Abnormalities: A subject has any clinically significant, uncontrolled condition or disease state that, in the opinion of the investigator, would put the safety of the subject at risk through study participation or would confound the interpretation of the study results if the condition/disease exacerbated during the study.
* The list of additional excluded conditions/diseases includes, but is not limited to the following:
* Congestive heart failure-Known aortic aneurysm
* Clinically significant coronary heart disease-Clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia
* Stroke within 3 months of Visit 1-Uncontrolled hypertension
* Recent or poorly controlled peptic ulcer-Haematologic, hepatic, or renal disease
* Immunologic compromise-Current malignancy
* Tuberculosis (current or untreated)-Cushing's disease
* Addison's disease-Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
* Liver cirrhosis-Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
* Uncontrolled thyroid disorder-Recent history of drug or alcohol abuse
* Oropharyngeal examination: A subject will not be eligible if he/she has clinical visual evidence of oral candidiasis at screening.
* Pregnancy and Lactating Females:
* Pregnant females as determined by positive serum hCG test at screening or by positive urine hCG test prior to dosing.
* Lactating females
* Allergies:
* Milk Protein Allergy: History of severe milk protein allergy.
* Drug Allergy: Any adverse reaction including immediate or delayed hypersensitivity to any beta2-agonist, sympathomimetic drug, or any intranasal, inhaled, or systemic corticosteroid therapy. Known or suspected sensitivity to the constituents of the Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) (i.e., lactose or magnesium stearate).
* Historical Allergy: History of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of investigator or GSK Medical Monitor, contraindicates their participation

Summary
Brief summary
For asthmatic subjects, a combination of inhaled corticosteroid (FF) and long-acting beta2 receptor agonist (VI) is recommended for use (once daily) and fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a non-invasive airway inflammation marker.

In this randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled, two-period, crossover repeat dose study, the duration of action of fluticasone furoate (FF) will be determined by monitoring the return of FeNO levels to baseline, following the treatment with FF/vilanetrol (VI) in asthmatic subjects.

Subjects who meet the eligibility criteria will participate in the following two treatment periods: FF/VI 100/25 mcg once-daily and placebo once-daily. Approximately 28 subjects will be enrolled in order to achieve 24 evaluable subjects. A 2-week treatment period will be followed by a 21-day monitoring/washout period before crossing over to the next treatment period. Total duration of each subject will be a maximum of 21 weeks. FeNO will be monitored up to 21 days after treatment with FF/VI together with FEV1 (up to 7 days).
