Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria

1. Males and females (of childbearing and non-childbearing potential) , between 18 and 55
years of age, inclusive. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must use highly
effective methods of birth control (see Inclusion #3).

2. Females of non-childbearing potential:

1. Natural (spontaneous) post-menopausal defined as being amenorrhoeic for at least
12 months without an alternative medical cause with a screening follicle
stimulating hormone level (FSH) >25 IU/L (or at the local laboratory levels for
post-menopause)

2. Premenopausal with irreversible surgical sterilization by hysterectomy and/or
bilateral oophorectomy or salpingectomy at least 6 months before screening (as
determined by participant medical history)

3. Women of childbearing potential that have or may have male sexual partners during the
course of the study must agree to the use of a double method of contraception of a
highly effective method of birth control combined with a barrier contraceptive
(condom) when appropriate from screening visit to until 60 days after the last dose of
IMP (covering a full menstrual cycle of 30 days starting after 5 half-lives of last
dose of IMP. This duration is based on the predicted half-life of IMP, and may be
amended once the actual half-life is calculated during this study). Note: Highly
effective birth control methods include: combined (oestrogen and progestogen
containing) oral/intravaginal/transdermal hormonal contraception associated with
inhibition of ovulation, progestogen-only oral/injectable/implantable hormonal
contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation, intrauterine device (IUD),
intrauterine hormone-releasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomised
partner, or sexual abstinence or same sex relationship.

4. Male participants who have, or may have female sexual partners during the course of
the study must agree to use a double method of contraception including condom plus
diaphragm, or condom plus stable insertable (implant or IUD), injectable, transdermal
or combination oral contraceptive by the female partner, from the time of informed
consent through to 90 days after the last dose of the IMP (covering a full
spermatogenesis cycle of 60 days starting after 5 half-lives of last dose of IMP. This
duration is based on the predicted half-life of IMP, and may be amended once the
actual half-life is calculated during this study).

Abstinent male participants must agree to start a double method if they begin a sexual
relationship with a female during the trial, and through to 90 days after the last
dose of the IMP. Male participants with female partners that are surgically sterile or
post-menopausal (defined as being amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months without an
alternative medical cause), or male participants who have undergone sterilisation and
have had testing to confirm the success of the sterilisation, may also be included and
will not be required to use above described methods of contraception. Male
participants must also agree not to donate sperm up to 3 months after dosing with the
IMP.

5. Total body weight greater than or equal to 50 kg, and body mass index (BMI) between 18
and 32 kg/m2 inclusive.

6. Certified as healthy by a comprehensive clinical assessment (detailed medical history
and complete physical examination).

7. Normal vital signs after 5 minutes resting in supine position:

- Systolic blood pressure (SBP) - 90-140 mmHg,

- Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) - 40-90 mmHg,

- Heart rate (HR) 40-100 bpm.

8. Standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters after 10 minutes resting in supine
position in the following ranges for both males and females: QT = 500 msec, QTcF =450
msec, QTcB =450 msec, and PR interval =210 msec; and normal ECG tracing unless the
Principal Investigator or delegate considers an ECG tracing abnormality to be not
clinically significant.

visit.

11. In the opinion of the Principal Investigator or delegate, the individual has a high
