Effects of GSK1278863A on Pulmonary Artery Pressure in Healthy Volunteers

Summary

This protocol is designed to explore whether short-term therapy with GSK1278863 affects PASP under normoxic and hypoxic conditions in healthy volunteers. Healthy subjects will be evaluated using echocardiography to estimate PASP based on the velocity of the tricuspid regurgitant jet. Resting PASP will be assessed under normoxic (room air) conditions, as well as after 30 minutes' exposure to 15% O2 before, during, and after short-term treatment with GSK1278863.
