15. Subject has any clinically significant ECG or clinically significant laboratory abnormality

16. Subject has abnormal thyroid function

18. History of alcohol or other substance abuse within the last year. Subjects with a lifetime history of amphetamine, cocaine, or other stimulant abuse and/or dependence will be excluded.

19. Use Within 30 days prior to the first dose of investigational product:

• have used an investigational product
• have been enrolled in a clinical study (including vaccine)

20. A positive screen for alcohol or drugs of abuse. A positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg); hepatitis C virus (HCV); or HIV antibody screen.

21. Use of tobacco in any form in the last 30 days

Secondary	Number of Participants With Suicidal Behavior and / or Ideation ("Yes" Response) on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)	C-SSRS is a clinician rated assessment of suicidal behavior and / or intent categorized as: Suicidal behavior=a "yes" response to any of 5 suicidal behavior questions (preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt, and completed suicide); Suicidal ideation=a "yes" response to any one of 5 suicidal ideation questions which includes wish to be dead, and 4 different categories of active suicidal ideation (thought, thought with method, thought with intent, thought with plan and intent).
