Inclusion Criteria

- Participant must be 18 to 80 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the
informed consent.

- Participants who have proven PBC, as demonstrated by having at least 2 of the
following: History of sustained increased ALP levels >ULN first recognized at least 6
months prior to the Screening Visit (Sustained ALP elevations at the time of Screening
is not required, recognizing that the ALP may have decreased after institution of
ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) therapy as described in inclusion number 4). Documented

corticosteroids in the 2 months prior to screening. If a change in dose in any of
these medications is anticipated during the course of the study, the participant
should be excluded.

- Initiation or increase in dose of bezafibrate or fenofibrate at any time during the 3
months prior to screening. Participants may join the study on stable doses of these
medications, but no change or discontinuation is permitted until completion of the
Main Study Period.

- Initiation or increase in dose of any of the following in the 8 weeks prior to
screening: rifampicin, naltrexone, naloxone, nalfurafine, or sertraline. Participants

8 weeks prior to the start of the Initial Study Period and may not restart until after
the end of the study.

in the 3 months prior to screening.

- Current enrolment or participation within the 8 weeks before start of the Initial
Study Period, in any other clinical study involving an investigational study
treatment.

- QT interval corrected for heart rate QTc >480 millisecond (msec).

- History of sensitivity to the study treatment or components thereof or a history of
drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator or GlaxoSmithKline

Summary
Brief summary
This study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of GSK2330672
administration for the treatment of pruritus (itch) in participants with primary biliary
cholangitis (PBC). Participants will receive either placebo or one of the 4 dose regimens of
GSK2330672 (20 milligram [mg], 90 mg or 180 mg taken once daily or 90 mg twice daily).
Participants on GSK2330672 will also receive placebo tablets to maintain blinding. The study
has a prospectively defined adaptive design that will utilize interim data to further inform
and potentially optimize the doses under investigation. Hence, additional dose regimen may be
added during study. The total duration of a participant in the study will be up to 45 days of
screening and 24 weeks of study including follow-up.
