The study will be conducted at a single centre and in 3 Parts. The aim of Part A and B of the study are to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) single and repeat doses of a new formulation of GSK2269557 administered via the ELLIPTA dry powder inhaler (DPI) to healthy subjects. This is the first study in which GSK2269557 will be administered via the ELLIPTA DPI. Part C of the study will investigate the proportion of the systemic exposure that post inhalation is due to the swallowed fraction of the inhaled dose. Part C will also be conducted using the ELLIPTA device and magnesium stearate formulation. Part A will be conducted first. Part B and Part C may be run sequentially or in parallel. Part A is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, single dose, dose escalating incomplete block 2-period crossover study in healthy subjects. Subjects will be randomized to receive either one dose strength of GSK2269557 and placebo utilizing placebo replacement, or will receive both active dose strengths. Part B is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, repeat dose study in healthy Subjects. Subjects will be randomized to receive either repeat doses of GSK2269557 or placebo for 10 days. Part C is a, randomized, open-label, crossover design to assess the systemic exposure of single doses of GSK2269557 administered via the ELLIPTA DPI to healthy subjects, with and without ingestion of activated charcoal.

NCT01899742 ↗	The Purpose of the This Study is to Evaluate the Spirometric Effect (Trough FEV1) of Umeclidinium/Vilanterol 62.5/25 mcg Once Daily Compared With Tiotropium 18mcg Once Daily Over a a 12-week Treatment Period in Subjects With COPD Who Continue to Hav	Completed	GlaxoSmithKline	Phase 3	2014-09-15	The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of UMEC/VI Inhalation Powder (62.5/25 mcg) once-daily with tiotropium (18 mcg) once-daily over 12 weeks for the treatment of subjects with COPD who have received tiotropium and continue to have symptoms while on tiotropium.
NCT02105974 ↗	Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Fluticasone Furoate/Vilanterol Inhalation Powder (FF/VI) Compared With Vilanterol Inhalation Powder (VI) in Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)	Completed	GlaxoSmithKline	Phase 3	2014-04-07	This is a Phase IIIa, multicenter, randomized, stratified (reversibility status), double-blind, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FF/VI 100/25 micrograms (mcg) once daily (QD) compared with VI 25 mcg QD, administered in the morning via the ELLIPTA™ inhaler. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the contribution on lung function (as measured by trough forced expiratory volume in one second [FEV1]) of FF 100 mcg to the FF/VI 100/25 mcg QD combination by comparison of the latter with VI 25 mcg QD and the safety of FF/VI 100/25 mcg over a 12-week treatment period in subjects with COPD. ELLIPTA™ is a registered trademark of GlaxoSmithKline.
NCT02218723 ↗	Pharmacokinetic Profile of Four Formulations of Fluticasone Furoate (FF) Using Unit Dose Dry Powder Inhaler (UD-DPI) Compared With FF ELLIPTA® Presentation	Completed	GlaxoSmithKline	Phase 1	2014-10-28	This is an open-label, five- period, cross-over, randomized, single dose, single centre study in healthy subjects. This is the second clinical study for the UD-DPI. This study will ascertain whether the Pharmacokinetics (PK) systemic exposure [in terms of area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax)] of FF delivered via the UD-DPI is comparable to the systemic exposure of FF delivered via the ELLIPTA Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI). For this reason four treatment doses consisting of three dose strengths and 2 percentage blends will be assessed when delivered via the UD-DPI. This study is designed to compare the pharmacokinetic profile of various doses and blends of FF administered via UD-DPI and relative to FF administered via ELLIPTA DPI. Subjects will be screened 28 days prior to study initiation. During each treatment period, subjects will be at study site from evening prior to dosing until completion of the 48 hour post-dose PK sample collection on Day 3. Minimum 7 days washout will be between treatments after completion of all five treatments and the follow-up visit will be conducted 7-14 days post last dose. Duration of study is 13 weeks.
