- A positive pre-study drug/alcohol screen.
- A positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody.
- Where participation in the study would result in donation of blood or blood products in excess of 500 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). Subjects who previously received GSK2881078 are allowed to participate in this trial, with the same timeline restrictions.

Placebo Comparator
Experimental
Part A: GSK2881078
Part A: Placebo
Part B: GSK2881078-Itraconazole
The first cohort subjects will receive GSK2881078 1.5 mg (for males) or 0.75 mg (for females) twice daily for 3 days followed by once daily for 25 days. The subsequent cohort subjects will receive GSK2881078 doses selected after reviewing the unblinded data from at least 2 weeks of dosing of at least 6 subjects in the first cohort. Each cohort subjects will receive GSK2881078 dose twice daily for the first 3 days followed by 25 days of once daily.
Subjects will receive placebo twice daily for 3 days followed by once daily for 25 days.
Subjects will receive GSK2881078 (dose level will be determined based on the results from Part A) on Day 1 of Period-1 and Day 6 of Period-2. Subjects will also receive itraconazole 200 mg twice daily on Day1 of Period-2 and 200 mg once daily on Days 2-34 of Period-2.
