A 2-Part Trial in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes and in Healthy Subjects to Evaluate GSK1614235, a New Glucose Lowering Drug to Treat Type 2 Diabetes

Part A is a double-blind, randomized, parallel group, dose-ranging study, in subjects with
type 2 diabetes mellitus to assess safety, tolerability, and to estimate the pharmacodynamic
effects when subjects receive repeated doses of placebo, sitagliptin (Januvia), or
GSK1614235. The target is to explore the best doses of GSK1614235 that provide glucose
control with minimal adverse effects.

There will be at least 4 cohorts of subjects:

- Cohort 1: 8 subjects randomized to receive placebo, 100mg sitagliptin QD, or 1mg
GSK1612435 BID

- Cohort 2: 6 subjects randomized to receive placebo, 100mg sitagliptin QD, or 5mg
GSK1612435 BID.

- Cohort 3: 6 subjects randomized to receive placebo, 100mg sitagliptin QD, or 20mg
GSK1612435 BID.

- Cohort 4: 20-40 subjects randomized to receive placebo, 100mg sitagliptin QD, or
GSK1612435 BID, (potential doses of 0.25 to 40mg BID), depending on safety,
tolerability, and glucose results of Cohorts 1, 2, and 3.

- Cohort 5: 12 subjects randomized to receive placebo or GSK1614235 BID (potential doses
of up to 80mg BID), depending on safety, tolerability, and glucose results of Cohorts
1, 2, 3, and 4.

- Cohort 6: 24 subjects randomized to receive GSK1614235 BID (20BID), or sitagliptin
(100mg QD).

After subjects have successfully completed the screening procedures, they will be asked to
discontinue prior anti-diabetic therapy at least 72 h before admission to the research
facility and remain off of the medications until the completion of the follow-up visit
(total of ~14 days). Subjects will be admitted to the research facility on the evening of
Day -2 in preparation to begin baseline assessments, including PD, on Day -1 (for their
particular cohort). Beginning on Day 1, subjects will receive a single dose of GSK1614235
and undergo PK sampling, and on Day 2 through Day 6, subjects will be dosed on a twice daily
dosing schedule with doses administered immediately before breakfast and the evening meal.
Day 6 includes intensive assessments of PK and PD parameters in addition to routine safety
monitoring.

Part B is a double-blind, randomized, single-dose, 3-way crossover study in 12 subjects. A
well-tolerated dose of GSK1614235 that provides a meaningful pharmacodynamic response based
on data from Part A will be administered in both fed and fasted states. It is not
anticipated that the dose for Part B will exceed single doses of 40mg.

Part B will consist of 3 periods. Period 1 will begin after subjects have successfully
completed screening. They will be admitted to the research facility the evening before
dosing (Day -1) and will dose the following morning after an overnight (at least 12 hour
fast). Safety monitoring and PK and PD sampling will be conducted over a 48 hour period.
Subjects will be discharged from the research facility after the 48 hour PK and PD sample
has been collected. A washout period of ≥ 5 days period will ensue, and subjects will be
admitted to the research facility to begin Period 2. Period 3 will follow the same schedule
as Period 1 and Period 2.

Subjects will be randomized such that, at separate admissions, each subject receives the
selected GSK1614235 dose or matching placebo as follows.

- GSK1614235 before meal and placebo after meal

- GSK1614235 30 min after meal and placebo before meal

- Placebo - both before meal and 30 min after meal
