Substance P Challenge in Healthy Participants
Sponsor:

GlaxoSmithKline

Brief Summary:

The objectives of this enabling study are to characterize the wheal and flare responses over time following skin challenges with ascending concentrations of Substance P. This will be a 2-part study: Part 1 will aid in the understanding of the wheal and flare responses following Substance P. Part 2 will investigate the variability of the responses. Participants may be enrolled into Part 1 or Part 2, not both.

Exclusion Criteria

  • * Abnormal blood pressure as determined by the investigator.
  • * Alanine transaminase (ALT) \>1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN).
  • * Total bilirubin \>1.5 times ULN (isolated bilirubin \>1.5 times ULN is acceptable if total bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin \<35%).
  • * Current or chronic history of liver disease, or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones).
  • * QT interval corrected for heart rate according to Fridericia's formula (QTcF) \>450 millisecond (msec), based on the mean of triplicate ECGs.
  • * Use of any form of H1 or H2 antihistamine, tricyclic antidepressants, beta2 agonists, dopamine, or beta blocking agents within 14 days before the first challenge visit through final assessments.
  • * Use of topical medications such as but not limited to retinoids, steroids, and transdermal hormone replacement therapies on or near the intended site of application within 8 weeks prior to dosing through treatment follow up. Use of other topical preparations such as those containing vitamins, supplements or herbal within 2 weeks prior to dosing through treatment follow up.
  • * Past or intended use of any other non-topical over-the-counter or prescription medication, including herbal medications, within 7 days before the first challenge visit, unless, in the opinion of the investigator and GlaxoSmithKline medical monitor, the medication will not constitute a risk when taking the study intervention or interfere with the interpretation of data.
  • * Participation in the study would result in loss of blood or blood products in excess of 500 milliliter (mL) within 3 months.
  • * Current enrolment in any clinical study involving an investigational study intervention or any other type of medical research.
  • * Current enrolment or past participation in this study.
  • * Presence of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B core antibody (HbcAb) at screening or within 3 months before the first challenge day.
  • * Positive Hepatitis C antibody test result at screening or within 3 months before the first challenge day.
  • * Positive Hepatitis C RNA test result at screening or within 3 months before the first challenge day.

  • * Current use of known drugs of abuse.
  • * Participants who present with damaged skin including sunburn, scar tissue, moles, uneven skin tones and dark skin tone (Fitzpatrick\>2), tattoos, body piercings, branding or other skin disfiguration on or near the intended site of application which could interfere with the assessments
  • * Regular alcohol consumption within 6 months before the study defined as an average weekly intake of \>21 units for males or \>14 units for females.
