menses for at least 1 year prior to dosing (without an alternative medical condition); and
FSH levels greater than or equal to 40 mIU/mL at screening; or,
b. If of child-bearing potential, be non-pregnant or lactating and agree to use highly
effective contraception from screening through 30 days post final dose.

measurements, and laboratory safety tests performed at the screening visit and/or
before the first dose of study drug.
- Weigh at least 45kg at the time of screening
- Have a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 18.0 and less than or equal to 32.0 kg/m2 at the time of screening

a. Abnormal systolic blood pressure (<90 or > 150 mmHg)
b. Abnormal diastolic blood pressure (<40 or > 95 mmHg)
c. Abnormal respiratory rate (<10 or > 22 bpm)
The resting time may be extended as needed to accommodate clinical activities and may be repeated twice.
- Has a clinically significant history or presence of electrocardiogram (ECG) findings as
judged by the PI or designee at screening, including:

a. Impaired renal function (serum creatinine levels >106 µmol/L) at screening.
b. Alanine aminotransaminase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransaminase (AST) laboratory
values >1.5X upper normal limits.
c. Subject has an estimated creatinine clearance of <80 mL/min as determined by the
Cockcroft-Gault equation. Laboratory screening can be repeated upon investigator
discretion.
- History of prescription drug abuse or in the opinion of the investigator illicit drug use
within 6 months prior to screening
- Use of any vaccines within 14 days prior to first dose administration on Day 1.

approved therapy for investigational use within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is
longer) prior to dosing; prior participation at any time in non-invasive methodology trials
in which no drugs were given is acceptable.
- Has donated blood or plasma within 30 days prior to screening, or had a loss of whole
blood of more than 500 mL within the 30 days prior to screening, or receipt of a blood
