• Subject with no clinically significant abnormal serum biochemistry, haematology and urine examination values at the Screening Visit.

• Subject with a negative urinary drugs of abuse screen (a positive alcohol result could have been repeated at the discretion of the Investigator).

• Subject with negative human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Hepatitis B (Hep B) and Hepatitis C (Hep C) results.

• Subject with no clinically significant abnormalities in 12-lead ECG at the Screening Visit.

• Subject was available to complete the study (including all Follow-up Visits).

• Subject satisfied a medical examiner about their fitness to participate in the study.

• Subjects were non-smokers and non-alcohol drinkers or drank alcohol in moderation (e.g. = 14 units/week).

Exclusion Criteria:

• A clinically significant history of gastrointestinal disorder likely to influence drug absorption.

• Receipt of regular medication at the Screening Visit that may have had an impact on the safety and objectives of the study (at the Investigator's discretion).

• Evidence of renal, hepatic, central nervous system, respiratory, cardiovascular or metabolic dysfunction.

• A clinically significant history of previous allergy/sensitivity to GMC-252.

• A clinically significant history of drug or alcohol abuse.

• Inability to communicate well with the Investigator (i.e., language problem, poor mental development or impaired cerebral function).

• Participation in a New Chemical Entity clinical study within the previous 16 weeks or a marketed drug clinical study within the previous 12 weeks.
