b. monogamous relationship with a male partner of confirmed sterility, or
c. practice complete abstinence
5. Females of non-childbearing potential may be enrolled if it is documented that they are postmenopausal or have undergone surgical sterilization
6. Subject is free from clinically significant illness or disease as determined by medical and surgical history, physical examination, 12-lead ECG, vital signs, and clinical laboratory assessments conducted at Screening
7. Able to speak, read and understand English
8. Able to understand and sign the written informed consent form (ICF)
9. Willing to follow the protocol requirements and comply with protocol restrictions

6. A positive test for drugs of abuse or alcohol during Screening.
7. Unwilling or unable to abstain from alcohol from 2 days prior to Day 1 until end-of-study assessments.
