The birth control method must have been applied for at least 1 cycle before and until 3 months after administration of the study medication.

6. Subjects are willing and able (in the opinion of the investigator) to understand and comply with the procedures and evaluations of the study.

7. Subjects must be willing and legally able to give written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Hepatic or renal disease; any other disease, which may influence the clinical trial results or may lead to health worsening during the trial (according to the investigator's opinion);

2. Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities;

3. Use of any medication, including prophylaxis, within 1 month before screening (including herbal preparations and nutritional supplements);

4. Positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or hepatitis B virus HBV at Screening;

5. Irregular sleep (e.g. night work, sleep disturbances, insomnia, returning from another time zone, etc.);

6. History or current evidence of alcohol or drug abuse; alcohol or drug intake within 4 days before Screening;

7. History or current evidence of allergic reactions (including reactions to medications and food);

8. History or current evidence of symptomatic rhinitis within 2 years before Screening (allergic rhinitis, non-allergic rhinitis, or hay fever, excluding short-term viral infection - cold or influenza);

9. Blood or plasma donation, or surgery (in hospital) within 12 weeks of Screening;

10. Lactating or pregnant females; a positive pregnancy test before the first administration of investigational medicinal product or breastfeeding;

11. Current or previous (within 3 months of enrollment) treatment with another investigational drug and/or medical device or participation in another clinical study;

12. Previous enrollment in this clinical study;

13. Inability to understand or follow protocol instructions;

14. Smoking within 3 months before screening or throughout the study;

15. Lactose intolerance;

16. History of allergic reactions to XC-8 or any inactive ingredients of the trial medication;

17. Employees of the sponsor or subjects who are employees or relatives of the investigator;

Verbatim terms will be mapped to preferred terms and organ systems using the current Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities version. For each preferred term, frequency counts and percentages will be calculated by cohort.The nature, severity, seriousness, and relationship to study medication will be summarized for all study subjects	Change from pre-dose up to Day 36
Primary	Laboratory data	Laboratory data (hematology, biochemistry and urinalysis) will be summarized by treatment arm. Changes from pre-dose will be presented using shift tables (employing the categories 'normal', 'abnormal, clinically not significant' and 'abnormal, clinically significant') and absolute changes in laboratory values, if appropriate.
