• 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).

(N.B. washout period between trials defined as the period of time elapsed between the last dose of the previous study and the first dose of the next study).
• Donation of 450 mL or more blood within the previous 12 weeks.
