Summary

This study will aim to evaluate the effect of therapeutic and supratherapeutic oral doses of GSK3640254 on cardiac conduction compared to placebo and a single oral dose of Moxifloxacin in healthy adult participants. The study has 2 parts: Part 1 will determine the supratherapeutic dose for Part 2, which will be the main corrected QT interval (QTc) study. Part 1 consists of 2 sequential cohorts: Sentinel Cohort 1 will evaluate once daily (QD) dosing of GSK3640254 or placebo for 7 days and Sentinel Cohort 2 will evaluate twice daily (BID) dosing of GSK3640254 or placebo for 7 days. Part 2 will investigate the safety, tolerability and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of GSK3640254 doses on cardiac conduction as compared to placebo and a single oral dose of Moxifloxacin in healthy adult participants. Moxifloxacin will be included as a positive control. All doses of study intervention will be administered under fed conditions and will receive a moderate-fat meal 30 minutes prior to dosing. The total duration of the study is approximately 91 days. Approximately 58 participants will be enrolled in the study.

• History indicative of an increased risk of a cardiac arrhythmia or cardiac disease, including the following:

1. History of symptomatic cardiac arrhythmias or palpitations associated with pre-syncope or syncope, or history of unexplained syncope.

2. History of cardiac arrest.

3. History of clinically relevant cardiac disease including symptomatic or asymptomatic arrhythmias (including but not limited to ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, any degree of atrioventricular block, Brugada syndrome, Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, and sinus bradycardia, defined as HR less than 50 bpm based on vital signs or ECG), presyncope or syncopal episodes, or additional risk factors for torsades de pointes (e.g., heart failure).

• Positive Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 and -2 antigen/antibody immunoassay at Screening.

• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >=1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN). A single repeat of ALT is allowed within a single Screening period to determine eligibility.

Blood pressure may be retested once in the supine position. The blood pressure abnormality is considered sustained if either the systolic or the diastolic pressure values are outside the stated limits after 2 assessments, in which case the participant may not be randomized.

• A resting HR of <50 bpm or >100 bpm when vital signs are measured at Screening or Check-in (Day -2). A HR from 100 to 110 bpm can be rechecked by ECG or vital signs within up to 2 hours to verify eligibility.
