• Subject is in good general health with (in the opinion of the investigator) no clinically significant and relevant abnormalities as assessed by medical history, physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG) and clinical laboratory test results (hematology, biochemistry and urinalysis) are within normal limits.

• If female, subject of childbearing potential is practicing a reliable method of contraception in the opinion of the investigator.

• Subject understands and is willing, able, and likely to comply with all study procedures and restrictions.
