Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Adverse events. Effects on laboratory, ECG parameters and vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, temperature). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Plasma concentrations of GSK2330811 and derived PK parameters. Serum levels of total and free OSM. Incidence of anti-GSK2330811 antibodies. Additional exploratory endpoints are included to explore pharmacology and effect on selected clinical endpoints and biomarkers of fibrosis, inflammation and vasculopathy in blood and skin. | — |
