Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria:
A subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if all of the following criteria apply:
1. Male or female of non-childbearing potential, 18 years of age or older at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Non-childbearing potential is defined as pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneuos amenorrhea [in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) >40 MIU/ml and estradiol < 40 pg/ml (<140pmol/L) is confirmatory].
2. Presence of mild-to-moderately active ulcerative colitis spread beyond the rectum (inflammation extending = 15 cm from anal verge) as evidenced by clinical signs and endoscopy.

History of sensitivity to aminosalicylates, macrolides, coricosteroids or any component of study medications, history of hypersensitivity to ACTH, SYNACTHEN or SYNACTHEN DEPOT, or a history of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the Investigator, contraindicates patient’s participation in the study.

3. Presence or a history of asthma or presence or history of other serious allergic disorder that, in the opinion of the Investigator, increases the risk of allergic reaction to SYNACTHEN.
4. Presence or history of chronic liver disease, or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones) as evidenced by medical history or by AST and ALT = 2xULN, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin > 1.5xULN.

6. Presence of significant hematologic disorder as evidenced by neutrophil count <1.5x109/L, platelet count <150x109/L, or significant bleeding or immune system disorder.
7. QTcB or QTcF >450 msec; or QTc >480 msec in patients with Bundle Branch Block, based on an average QTc value of triplicate ECGs, if the first ECG showed an abnormal value.
8. Presence of a significant cardiac, pulmonary, metabolic or infectious disease or mental disorder that, in the opinion of the Investigator, represents an unacceptable safety risk for participation in this trial.
9. History of malignant neoplastic disease within the past 5 years other than localized basal cell skin cancer, squamous cell skin cancer or cancer in situ that has been resected.
10. History of regular alcohol consumption within 6 months of the study defined as an average weekly intake of >14 drinks (one drink is equivalent to 12 ounces [360 mL] of beer, 5 ounces [150 mL] of wine or 1.5 ounces [45 mL] of 80 proof distilled spirits AND a history or presence of recreational drug abuse or dependence.
11. Presence of infectious colitis as evidenced by stool culture positive for enteric pathogens or positive Clostridium difficile cytotoxin assay.
12. Suspicion of Crohn’s disease, indeterminate colitis, microscopic colitis, ischaemic colitis or radiation-induced colitis, based on medical history, endoscopy and/or histological findings.
13. Bowel surgery within last 12 months.
14. Treatment with oral aminosalicylates at dose = 3 g/day or dose modification (except a transient shift lasting up to 3 days) within 4 weeks prior to Day 1 visit or treatment with topical aminosalicylates at any dose within 4 weeks prior to Day 1 visit.
15. Treatment with systemic or topical corticosteroids within 4 weeks prior to Day 1 visit.
16. Treatment with TNF-a inhibitors or other biologics within 2 months prior to Day 1 visit.
17. Treatment with immunosuppressants (azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine), if initiated within 3 months prior to Day 1 visit, or if changed in terms of drug or dose within 3 months prior to Day 1 visit.
18. Regular use of probiotic or prebiotic preparations, if initiated within 4 weeks pr

Primary Outcome(s)

Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are:
• To assess the anti-inflammatory activity of GSK1399686 in patients with active ulcerative colitis using clinical indices of disease activity and fecal markers of intestinal inflammation.
• To assess the systemic exposure after repeated oral dosing of GSK1399686 in patients with active ulcerative colitis.
Exploarory objectives are:
• To explore therapeutic efficacy of GSK1399686 in patients with active ulcerative colitis, including endoscopic and histologic response to therapy.
• To explore the relationship between GSK1399686 concentrations in plasma/rectal mucosa and pharmacodynamic parameters identified to be of interest (e.g., fecal calprotectin, fecal lactoferrin, SCCAI score, UCDAI score), if possible.
• To explore the relationship between fecal markers of intestinal inflammation and clinical presentation of disease and their potential utility for early detection of anti-inflammatory activity in patients with active ulcerative colitis.

Primary end point(s): • Safety and tolerability as determined by:
- Adverse events (AEs);
- Treatment effects on blood pressure, heart rate, electrocardiography (ECG) parameters and haematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis findings;
- Treatment effects on basal morning cortisol and ACTH-stimulated cortisol levels at Week 4 in comparison with baseline.
• Concentration of GSK1399686 in colon biopsy obtained within 24 hours after the last dose.

Main Objective: • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GSK1399686 after repeated oral dosing in patients with active ulcerative colitis.
• To determine GSK1399686 concentrations in rectal mucosa after repeated oral dosing in patients with active ulcerative colitis.
