About this study

Participants will undergo screening evaluations to determine their eligibility within 21 days prior to the study enrollment.

Participants will be admitted to the clinical unit a day before administration (day -1) and will be confined in the clinical unit until 48 hours after last administration (day 18).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

  • Subject has a body mass index (BMI) range of > 19 kg/m^2 and ≤ 24.9 kg/m^2.
  • Subject has a body weight at screening ≥ 45.0 kg.
  • Subject must either:
  • Be of nonchildbearing potential: Postmenopausal (defined as at least 1 year without any menses for which there is no other obvious pathological or physiological cause) prior to screening, or documented surgically sterile (e.g., hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy)

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: Up to day 41

    Adverse events (AEs) will be coded using medical dictionary for regulatory activities (MedDRA). An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study drug and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medical product whether or not considered related to the medical product. An AE is considered "serious" if, in the view of either the investigator or sponsor, the event: results in death, is life-threatening, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, results in congenital anomaly or birth defect, requires hospitalization or prolongation to hospitalization, or other medically important event.
