This study investigates the safety, pharmacokinetics and effects of GSK1292263 when taken
alone or when co-dosed with atorvastatin to subjects with dyslipidemia.

This compound has been studied in healthy subjects and subjects with type II diabetes and is
now being studied in subjects with dyslipidemia. Because many patients with dyslipidemia are
on statins, it is important to study how GSK1292263 behaves when taken with a potent statin,
atorvastatin. The cholesterol lowering drug, ezetimibe, is included for comparison.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Healthy adult males and females of non-child-bearing-potential, aged 18-75 years who
is capable of giving informed consent.

- A female subject is eligible to participate if she is of:

- Non-childbearing potential defined as pre-menopausal females with a documented
tubal ligation or hysterectomy; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of
spontaneous amenorrhea. In questionable cases, a blood sample with simultaneous
follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) > 40 MlU/ml and estradiol <40 pg/ml (<140
pmol/L) is confirmatory in the absence of a clear post-menopausal history.

- Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) must discontinue HRT to allow
confirmation of post-menopausal status prior to study enrollment. For most forms
of HRT, at least 2-4 weeks will elapse between the cessation of therapy and the
blood draw; this interval depends on the type and dosage of HRT. Following
confirmation of their post-menopausal status, they can resume use of HRT during
the study.

- Male subjects must agree to use one of the contraception methods listed in the
protocol. This criterion must be followed from the time of the first dose of study
medication until seven days following the last dose.

- Body weight > 50 kg (110 pounds) and body mass index (BMI) between 19.0 and 39.0
(inclusive).

- Part A: (i) Subjects who are on 80mg or 40mg atorvastatin for >= 4 weeks and are
tolerating the drug well, or (ii) Subjects not on lipid-modifying therapy who have a
fasting low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc) >= 130mg/dL.

- In Part B at Screening: Subjects who are on statins or Vytorin treatment for >= 4
weeks.

- Part B at the end of the 4 week washout: Subjects who have a fasting LDL cholesterol
of >=120mg/dL and <=180mg/dL and fasting triglycerides of >=100mg/dL and <=400mg/dL.

- Part B at the end of the 4 week run-in on atorvastatin: Subjects who are tolerating
well atorvastatin 10mg or 80mg (as determined by the Investigator).

- Part B: Subjects must be willing to discontinue statins or Vytorin for the duration of
the study.

- Liver enzymes, AST and ALT < 2x upper limit of normal (ULN); alkaline phosphatase and
bilirubin =< 1.5xULN (isolated bilirubin >1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is
fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%). Subjects with Gilbert's syndrome are allowed
to participate in the study.

- Average QTcB or QTcF < 450msec; or QTc < 480msec in subjects with right bundle branch
block.

Exclusion Criteria:

- A medical history of the following:

- Clinical or angiographic cardiovascular disease, including history or current
evidence of coronary heart disease, heart failure, cerebrovascular disease
(including stroke and transient ischemic attack [mini-stroke]), peripheral
vascular disease. Subjects pending diagnostic procedures for any of those
conditions at the time of screening will not be eligible for participation.

- Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia or family history of familial
hypercholesterolemia (Part B only). Note: Subjects with heterozygous familial
hypercholesterolemia on 80mg atorvastatin who are tolerating this drug well and
fulfill the other eligibility criteria may participate in Part A only.

- History of recurrent or unexplained muscle aches (e.g., fibromyalgia), myopathy
or myositis, whether or not it is related to treatment with statins or other
lipid modifying drugs.

- Renal impairment as defined by a calculated glomerular filtration rate < 60
mL/min

- History of diabetes mellitus, or history of post-prandial and/or random blood
glucose > 200 mg/dl or fasting glucose > 125 mg/dL or currently taking diabetes
medications to manage fasting glucose levels (e.g., thiazolidinediones,
sulfonylureas, insulin, metformin).

- History of pancreatitis within 10 years of screening.

- Any concurrent serious illness (e.g., severe chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease, sleep apnea, history of malignancy other than skin cancer within 5 years
of initial diagnosis or with evidence of recurrence) that may interfere with a
subject from completing the study.

- Current or chronic history of liver disease, or known hepatic or biliary
abnormalities.

- Active peptic ulcer disease and/or history of peptic ulcer disease or
gastrointestinal bleeding within 12 months prior to screening.

- History of kidney stones within 10 years of screening.

- History of uncorrected thyroid dysfunction or an abnormal thyroid function test
assessed by thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) at Screening. (NOTE: subjects with
hypothyroidism on a stable dose of thyroid replacement therapy for at least 3
months prior to screening and who have a screening TSH within the normal range
may participate.)

- Symptomatic cholelithiasis or obstructive or inflammatory gallbladder disease
within 3 months prior to screening.

- Gastrointestinal disease that could affect fat or bile acid absorption, or the
pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of the study drugs, including inflammatory
bowel disease, chronic diarrhea, Crohn's disease or malabsorption syndromes
within the past year.

of the study drugs.

Note: Subjects may be enrolled in the study if they have had a cholecystectomy three or
more months before the time of screening and are stable and asymptomatic.
