Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Subject is able to read, write, and comprehend English at a sufficient level to understand study-related materials
• Subject is able to provide written informed consent and to comply with all study requirements and restrictions
• Subject is male or female and aged 18 to 65 years, inclusive, at the time of informed consent
• Subject is in good health as determined by the PI based on detailed medical history, physical examination, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, ECGs, and other pre-dose evaluations
• Subject agrees to use a medically acceptable form of birth control from CRU admission until at least 30 days (female subject) or 90 days (male subject) after the last dose of study drug. Males will also not donate sperm from CRU admission until at least 90 days after the last dose of study drug. If a subject is not sexually active but becomes active during study participation, the subject agrees they and their partner will use a medically accepted form of contraception for the time specified. Medically acceptable forms of contraception are:

• FDA-approved female hormonal contraceptives used consistently for 2 or more cycles before Screening, including oral contraceptives, intrauterine device (IUD), medroxyprogesterone acetate injection (Depo Provera®), hormonal implant (Norplant®, Implanon®, Nexplanon®), and vaginal ring (NuvaRing®)
• Male condom plus spermicide
• Male condom plus contraceptive sponge, foam, or jelly
• Female condom plus spermicide
• Diaphragm with spermicide plus male condom
• Cervical cap with spermicide plus male condom
• Surgical sterilization of the subject or partner (vasectomy for males, hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy for females)
• Abstinence
• If female, subject agrees that a serum pregnancy test ([β hCG] beta human chorionic gonadotropin ) will be performed at Screening, on Day 2 (CRU admission), and at the last study visit and negative test results at Screening and CRU admission are required to be considered for study participation
• Subject has a body mass index (BMI) of 20 to 35 kg/m2, inclusive, and body weight < 120 kg at Screening

Exclusion Criteria

• Subject currently uses tobacco or nicotine-containing products or has used such products within 6 months before CRU admission
• Subject has history or current evidence of any clinically significant cardiac, endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatobiliary, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary, neurologic, dermatologic, psychiatric, renal, or other major disease, as determined by the PI
• Subject has a history of cancer within 5 years before CRU admission (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer)
• Subject has a history of autonomic dysfunction (eg, history of repeated dizziness, fainting, or symptomatic orthostatic hypotension)
• Subject has a history of risk factors for torsades de pointes, including unexplained syncope, known long QT syndrome, heart failure, myocardial infarction, angina, OR clinically significant abnormal laboratory assessments including hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, or hypercalcemia OR has a family history of long QT syndrome or Brugada syndrome
• Subject has 1 or more clinically significant abnormal laboratory test values (as determined by the PI)
• Subject has an uninterpretable or abnormal screening ECG indicating a second- or third-degree atrioventricular block, or 1 or more of the following: QRS interval (ventricular depolarization) > 110 msec; a PR interval (atrioventricular conduction) > 220 msec, or QTc (corrected QT interval) of ≥ 450 msec (for male) or ≥ 470 msec (for female) or any rhythm other than sinus rhythm that is interpreted by the PI or a qualified designee to be clinically significant
• Subject has a resting heart rate (HR) of < 40 beats/min or > 90 beats/min at Screening or on CRU admission
• Subject has a sustained supine systolic blood pressure (BP) > 155 or < 90 mm Hg or a supine diastolic BP > 95 or < 50 mm Hg at Screening or upon CRU admission. Blood pressure in the supine position may be retested once and 'sustained' is defined as the parameter (either systolic or diastolic BP) being outside the stated limits at both assessments.
• Subject participates in another clinical trial or treatment with an investigational agent within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before CRU admission
• Subject has a history of alcohol or drug abuse or dependence within 12 months before CRU admission, as determined by the PI
• Subject has a clinically significant infection within 3 months before CRU admission, as determined by the PI
• Subject has any condition that, in the opinion of the PI, would make the subject unsuitable for enrollment or could interfere with the subject's participation in or completion of the study
• Subject has a positive urine screen for prohibited drugs (cocaine, cannabinoids, nicotine [urine cotinine is the detection mechanism for nicotine], opiates, barbiturates, amphetamines, and benzodiazepines) or positive urine test for alcohol
• Subject has a positive blood screen for human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B surface antigen, or hepatitis C virus antibody at the Screening Visit
• Subject has had a known or suspected hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reaction to the cellulose used in the placebo to be used in this study
• Subject has donated blood or any blood products within 3 months before Screening or plans to donate blood during or within 3 months after study completion
