2. Agree to use protocol specified method(s) of contraception, if a male participant or a female participant of childbearing potential who engages in heterosexual intercourse;
3. Agree to refrain from egg or sperm donation for the duration of the study;
4. Able and willing to sign the informed consent as approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC);
5. Have a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 32 kg/m2 and a BW greater than or equal to 55 kg;
6. No significant medical history, and in good general health;
7. Have no electrocardiographic abnormalities during a 12-lead ECG screening that, in the opinion of the PI (or delegate), may compromise the participant’s safety in the study;

PR Interval: less than or equal to 190 ms
QRS interval: less than or equal to 105 ms
QTcF duration: less than or equal to 450 ms for males, less than or equal to 460 ms for females
Systolic BP: between 100 and 140 mmHg, inclusive
Diastolic BP: between 60 and 100 mmHg, inclusive
16. Has specific pulmonary parameters related to pulmonary function:

FVC (forced vital capacity): greater than or equal to 80% of normal values
FEF (forced expiratory flow) 25-75%: greater than 75% of predicted.

3. History of heart disease such as, coronary artery disease, MI, cardiac arrhythmias, valvular heart disease and heart failure;
4. Previous invasive cardiac procedures (participants having undergone invasive cardiac procedures which definitively demonstrated no cardiac issues are eligible);
5. Clinically significant family history of cardiac arrhythmias, acquired or congenital (e.g., Brugada and/or long-QT syndromes), unexplained sudden cardiac death, and/or unexplained syncope;
6. Family history of congenital airway lung obstructive disease;
7. Use of prescription medication or over-the-counter products (including other antiarrhythmic drugs, anticoagulants and blood pressure lowering drugs, medications known to prolong the QTc interval, natural food supplements, vitamins, and garlic as a supplement) within 7 days prior to administration of study treatment, except for topical products without systemic absorption, paracetamol, and/or oral contraceptives;
8. Any contraindications to flecainide as per Tambocor™ package insert;
9. Has experienced any symptomatic heart failure (per New York Heart Association [NYHA] guidelines), or history of impaired LVEF;
10. Has human immunodeficiency virus infection, as shown by the presence of anti human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody (sero-positive);
11. Is sero-positive for hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus, and/or a history of delta virus hepatitis;
12. Has uncontrolled hypertension: blood pressure (BP) greater than 150/100 mmHg;
13. Has a history of torsades de pointes, atrial and/or ventricular rhythm disturbances (e.g., atrial or ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation), sinus bradycardia (less than 50 bpm), Cardiac Conduction Disease (AV Nodal Block or PR interval greater than 190 ms), congenital long QT syndrome or new ST segment elevation or depression or new Q wave on ECG;
14. Has had episodes of syncope, including during blood draw;
15. Currently abuses and/or has a history of alcohol and/or drug abuse less than 12 months from screening;
