- Females must have a negative serum β human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) test at screening and a negative urinary pregnancy test at Day -1.
- Subject must be willing and able to adhere to the restrictions and prohibitions required by this protocol.
- Each subject must sign an informed consent form (ICF) indicating that he or she understands the purpose and requirements of the study and that they are willing to participate.

- Average QTcF <450 msec at screening and pre-dose.
- Vital signs assessments within normal ranges at screening and pre-dose.
Healthy Subjects (Cohorts 1, 2 & 3)
- Healthy as determined by a physician based on a full medical examination including medical history, physical examination and laboratory tests performed at screening and pre-dose.
- Spirometry readings (FEV1 and FVC) to be ≥ 80% of predicted value and FEV1/FVC ratio > 0.7 at screening
Subjects with Asthma (Cohort 4)
- Documented diagnosis of asthma, first diagnosed at least 12 months prior to the screening visit.
- Subject must demonstrate a PC20 methacholine ≤ 8 mg/mL at the screening visit.
- Have an FEV1 >60% of predicted normal value at least 6 h after the last use of a short acting β-agonist (SABA).
- Have stable asthma based on physician assessment at screening and prior to randomisation
- Subject must be otherwise healthy on the basis of a full medical examination including medical history, physical examination and laboratory tests performed at screening.
Exclusion Criteria
All subjects (Cohorts 1, 2, 3 & 4)

- Received an experimental drug or used an experimental medical device within 3 months before the first dose of the study drug is scheduled.
- Allergy to any of the active or inactive ingredients in the study medication.
- History of drug, or other allergy that would contraindicate participation.
- Donation of blood in excess of 500 mL within a 3 month period prior to dosing

- Unable or unwilling to undergo multiple venepuncture procedures
- Pregnant or lactating female
- Any other reason that the Investigator considers makes the subject unsuitable to participate.
Healthy Subjects (Cohorts 1, 2 & 3)
- Any chronic illness or clinically relevant abnormality identified on the screening medical assessment, laboratory tests or ECG
Subjects with Asthma (Cohort 4)
- Has ever had an episode of life-threatening asthma defined as respiratory arrest, intubation for asthma, or ICU admission for asthma.
- Presence of clinically significant diseases other than asthma, hyper-responsive airways, seasonal allergic rhinitis or atopic diseases
- Has experienced an acute asthma exacerbation in the 12 months prior to screening requiring hospitalisation or accident and emergency treatment or management with systemic or injectable steroids.
- Has uncontrolled, or moderate to severe asthma based on PI assessment and/or use of prohibited medications, or has required treatment with these therapies in the previous 12 weeks.
- History or presence of any known conditions contraindicated for methacholine challenge
