1. QTcF >450 ms in men or >460 ms in women

2. PR >220 ms ventricular or atrial premature contractions in couplets or higher in grouping

3. Complete left or right bundle branch block

4. 2nd or 3rd degree atrioventricular block

5. Sustained ventricular or atrial arrhythmia

6. ST elevation consistent with cardiac ischemia

7. Potential subjects with non-clinical sinus arrhythmia could be included in the study

• Subjects in good health as determined by past medical history, medication use, physical examination, vital signs, and 12-lead ECG at Screening
• Females of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception through study duration

1. Reliable methods of contraception include: long acting, reversible contraception (LARC), hormonal birth control* (implantable device, hormonal patch, hormonal vaginal ring, oral contraception, Depo-Provera injection, etc.), surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, tubal ligation, or tubal coil at least 90 days prior to Investigational Product [IP] dosing)

2. Must agree to not donate ova or oocytes during the study

3. Postmenopausal women must have had ≥12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea without an alternative medical cause for amenorrhea, with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) concentration ≥40 mIU/mL at Screening and must have a negative pregnancy test result at Screening and Day-1 (Cohort A) or Day 0 (Cohort B)

4. Surgically sterile women (defined as those who have had a hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, tubal ligation, or an Essure placement with radiological confirmation test at least 90 days after procedure) must have a negative pregnancy test result at Screening and Study Day -1 (Cohort A) or Study Day 0 (Cohort B). *Subjects on hormonal birth control must not be on medications or other agents that decrease the effectiveness of hormonal birth control

• Male subjects having sexual intercourse with biologic females and who are biologically capable of fathering children must agree and commit to use male condoms from Study Day -1 until the follow-up visit on Study Day 155 (± 7). A male subject is considered capable of fathering children even if his sexual partner is sterile or using contraceptives

a. Male subjects must refrain from sperm donation from Study Day -1 until the follow-up visit on Study Day 155 (± 7)

• Received any investigational drug product within that last 28 days of Study Day -1
• Any prohibited medication within the past 28 days or plans to use prohibited medication during the study. Prohibited medications include oral/systemic anti-neoplastic agents, medications/supplements known to alter drug absorption, metabolism, or elimination processes (eg, St. John's wort), immunosuppressive drugs
• Use of any aspirin product in the 7 days prior to Study Day -1 through 14 days post-challenge
• Use of an NSAID from 48 hours prior to challenge through 14 days post-challenge
