4. Have a body mass index (BMI) in the range 18.0 to 32.0 kg/m2 and body weight not less than 40.0 kg
5. Be judged to be in good health, based on the results of medical history, physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, and clinical laboratory findings
6. Not be pregnant and not lactating, with no intention of pregnancy during study treatment
7. Agree to use two acceptable methods of birth control, one of which a barrier method with spermicide for the duration of participation in the study and 30 days after the last dose of study medication
1. Been previously enrolled in this study or any other study with NT-814
2. Have clinically significant findings on physical examination at screening
3. Have any relevant medical history, in particular: liver or renal insufficiency, cholecystectomy, significant cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurologic, haematologic, rheumatologic, psychiatric, or metabolic disturbances, any inflammatory illness or any other condition that the Investigator considers should exclude the subject
4. Undergone bilateral oophorectomy and/or hysterectomy
5. Have positive serology for any of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
6. Have any serum biochemistry and full blood count outside the normal reference ranges and considered by the Investigator to be of clinical significance, assessed at screening and on Cycle 1 Day 21/22. Haemoglobin must not be less than 11.0 g/dL at either screening or Day 21/22
7. Have Stage 2 or higher hypertension (supine/semi-recumbent systolic blood pressure [SBP] >160 mmHg; diastolic blood pressure [DBP] >100 mmHg or Stage 1 hypertension (supine/semi-recumbent SBP 140 160 mmHg; DBP 90 100 mmHg associated with indication for treatment i.e. evidence of end-organ damage, diabetes or a 10 year cardiovascular risk, estimated using a standard calculator, e.g. https://qrisk.org/three/, greater than 20%. Measurements are based on the mean of duplicate values recorded at least 2 minutes apart and are assessed at screening, on Cycle 1 Day 21 or 22 and pre-dose on Cycle 2 Day 1 or 2

16. Have major surgery within 2 calendar months before first dose of study medication,

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method GnRH pathway hormones measured using serum LH, FSH, oestradiol and progesterone concentrations on Days 3/4, 9/10, 15/16 and 21/22 in both Cycle 1 (baseline) and Cycle 2 (treatment)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <br> 1. The safety of NT 814 measured using clinical laboratory assessments (haematology and biochemistry), vital signs (BP and HR), and recording of treatment-emergent adverse events on Days 3/4, 9/10, 15/16 and 21/22 in both Cycle 1 (baseline) and Cycle 2 (treatment)<br> 2. The PK-PD relationship of NT-814 measured using NT-814 plasma concentration levels during Cycle 2 Days 3/4, 9/10, 15/16 and 21/22<br> 3. Menstrual cycle length measured using the difference in cycle length (in days) between Cycle 1 and Cycle 2<br>
