in excess of 500 millilitre (mL) within a 56 day period.

- The subject has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigational
product within the following time period prior to the first dosing day in the current
study: 30 days, 5 half-lives or twice the duration of the biological effect of the
investigational product (whichever is longer).

- Exposure to more than four new chemical entities within 12 months prior to the first
dosing day.

- The subject has a history of breathing problems in adult life (e.g. history of
asthmatic symptomatology). Screening lung function tests will be performed to confirm

Summary
Brief summary
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. ELLIPTA is a registered trademark of the GSK group of
companies.
