Biological: rVIIa-FP
Recombinant VIIa-FP (rVIIa-FP) is a fusion protein linking coagulation factor VIIa with albumin and will be administered by intravenous infusion in escalating doses up to 1000 mcg/kg. Participants will receive pre-treatment with an oral anticoagulant starting 7 days prior to administration of study product and continuing for 7 days after study product has been administered.

Biological: Placebo (0.9% normal saline)
Placebo will be administered by intravenous infusion. Participants will receive pre-treatment with an oral anticoagulant starting 7 days prior to administration of placebo and continuing for 7 days after placebo has been administered.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The frequency of related Adverse Events (AEs) to rVIIa-FP. [28 days]
- Number of subjects who develop inhibitors against Factor VII (FVII). [28 days]
- Number of subjects who develop antibodies against rVIIa-FP. [28 days]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Area under curve to the last sample with quantifiable drug concentration (AUC0-t) of a single dose of rVIIa-FP [120 hours]
- Half- life (t1/2) of a single dose of rVIIa-FP [120 hours]
- Incremental recovery (IR) of rVIIa-FP [120 hours]
- Clearance (Cl) of a single dose of rVIIa-FP [120 hours]
