Study start date: September 9, 2015

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This will be a single center, open-label, single dose, randomized and 2-way crossover study in healthy Japanese male subjects under fasting conditions. The study will be conducted to determine the bioequivalence between dutasteride capsules manufactured at GSK (test product) and dutasteride capsule manufactured at Catalent (reference product) in healthy Japanese male subjects. Subjects will have a screening visit within 30 days prior to the first dose of study treatment, two treatment periods separated by 28-days washout period, a re-visit 10-14 days after the second dose for the first follow-up and a second follow up via telephone 50-54 days after the second dose. The total duration of the study will be approximately 15 weeks from screening to the second follow up.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Between 20 and 64 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent. * Healthy as determined by the investigator or medically qualified designee based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and cardiac monitoring. A subject with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameter(s) which is/are not specifically listed in the inclusion or exclusion criteria, outside the reference range for the population being studied may be included only if the investigator in consultation with the Medical Monitor if required agree that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures. * Body weight \>=50 kilograms (kg) and body mass index (BMI) within the range 18.5-24.9 kg/meter squared at screening. * Japanese male. * Male subjects with female partners of child bearing potential must comply with the contraception requirements from the time of first dose of study medication until the second follow-up. * Capable of giving signed informed consent as described in which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form and in this protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * ALT and bilirubin \>1.5xupper limit of normal (ULN) (isolated bilirubin \>1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin \<35%). * Corrected QT interval (QTc) \>450 milliseconds (msec). * Current or chronic history of liver disease, or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones). * History of myocardial infarction, coronary bypass surgery, unstable angina, cardiac arrhythmias, clinically evident congestive heart failure, or cerebrovascular accident. * History of diabetes or peptic ulcer disease which is uncontrolled by medical management. * History of breast cancer or clinical breast examination finding suggestive of malignancy. * History of malignancy within the past five years, except for basal cell carcinoma of the skin. Subjects with a prior malignancy who have had no evidence of disease for at least the past 5 years are eligible. * Prior medical history or evidence of prostate cancer (e.g., positive biopsy, or suspicious ultrasound, or suspicious digital rectal examination (DRE)). Patients with suspicious ultrasound or DRE who have had a negative biopsy within the preceding 6 months and stable prostate specific antigen (PSA) are eligible for the study. * Creatinine \>1.5xULN. * History or current conditions of drug abuse or alcoholism. * Unable to refrain from the use of prescription drugs, non- prescription drugs, vitamins, herbal and dietary supplements (including St John's Wort) within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study medication. * 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 350 milliliter (mL) of beer, 150 mL of wine or 45 mL of 80 proof distilled spirits. * History or regular use of tobacco- or nicotine-containing products within 6 months prior to screening. * History of sensitivity to any of the study medications, or components thereof or a history of drug or other allergy. * The subject is positive Serological test for syphilis (Rapid plasma reagin test and Treponema pallidum), Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Antigen/Antibody, Hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg), Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody, or Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) antibody at screening. * A positive pre-study drug screen. * Where participation in the study would result in donation of blood or blood products \>=400 mL within 4 months or \>=200 mL within 1 month. * Exposure to more than four new chemical entities within 12 months prior to the first dosing day. * The subject has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigational product within 4 months prior to the first dosing day in the current study. * The subject is currently participating in another clinical study or post-marketing study in which the subject is or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational drug or device.
