• Volunteers with body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 19 and below 30 kg/m2.

• Any clinically significant illness in the previous 28 days before day 1 of this study.

• Volunteers who took an Investigational Product (in another clinical trial) or donated 50 mL or more of blood in the previous 28 days before day 1 of this study.

• Poor motivation, intellectual problems likely to limit the validity of consent to participate in the study or limit the ability to comply with the protocol requirements or inability to cooperate adequately, inability to understand and to observe the instructions of the physician.

• Donation of 500 mL or more of blood (Canadian Blood Services, Hema-Quebec, clinical studies, etc.) in the previous 56 days before day 1 of this study.

• Positive urine screening of ethyl alcohol or drugs of abuse at admission to the treatment period.

• Any history of tuberculosis and/or prophylaxis for tuberculosis.

• Positive results to HIV, HBsAg or anti-HCV tests.

• Participation in any previous clinical study with BIA 9-1067 within 84 days before day 1 of the study.

• Females who were pregnant according to a positive serum pregnancy test or were lactating.

• Females of childbearing potential who refused to use an acceptable contraceptive regimen throughout the study.
