Brief summary
The proposed study will examine the effect of pre-treatment with inhaled GSK256066 using a lung inflammation model induced by bronchoscopic instillation of bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) in healthy volunteers.Data from this study will be used to support GSK256066 dose selection for future studies in COPD patients.
Interventions
GSK256066 will be available as dry powder inhaler with dosing strengths of 12.5, 37.5, 50 micrograms per inhalation.
Subjects will receive placebo inhaler.
