  8. Healthy as defined by:

  9. Absence of clinically significant illness and surgery within 4 weeks prior to dosing. Subjects vomiting within 24 hours (h) pre-dose will be carefully evaluated for upcoming illness/disease. Inclusion pre-dosing is at the discretion of the PI.

  10. Absence of clinically significant history of neurological, endocrinal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, haematological, immunologic, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic and metabolic disease.

  14. Prescription medication within 14 days prior to dosing;

  15. Non-prescription medication including vitamins, herbal and dietary supplements within 7 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer), and ibuprofen within 48 h prior to the first dose of IMP,

  16. A depot injection or an implant of any drug within 3 months before the first dose of IMP.

  17. Donation of 450 mL or more blood within the 3 months before the first dose of IMP.

  18. Donation of plasma within 7 days prior to dosing.

  19. Receipt of blood products within 2 months prior to admission.

  25. Subjects with any special food restrictions that would hinder ability to consume the high fat breakfast provided during the study; e.g. vegetarian, lactose intolerance, vegan, low-fat, low sodium, and/or restrictions for medical, religious, social or cultural reasons, etc).

  26. Any reason which, in the opinion of the PI, would prevent the subject from participating in the study.
