2. The combined thickness of the distal nail plate at the associated hyperkeratotic nail bed is < 3 mm.
3. Adult male and females, 18 to 65 years of age (inclusive) at the time of screening.

5. Negative urine drug screen/alcohol breath test at screening and Day 1.
6. Voluntary consent to participate in the study.
7. Body Mass Index (BMI) between 17.5 and 35 inclusive.
