  • Non-smoker (not smoked for 3 months prior to screening)
  • A woman must have a negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test prior to dosing on Day 1
  • A woman must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purposes of assisted reproduction during the study and for at least 1 month after the last study drug administration

  • Positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies at screening visit
  • Drinks, on average, more than 5 cups of tea/coffee/cocoa or 8 cans of cola per day

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants with Vital Sign AbnormalitiesUp to 4 Weeks

Number of participants with vital signs (heart rate \[HR\], systolic blood pressure \[SBP\], diastolic blood pressure \[DBP\]) abnormalities will be reported.
