Inclusion criteria

Male or female adults, 18-55 years of age, inclusive.
Body mass index (BMI) is 18.5 to 29.9 kg/m^2.

A female participant is eligible to participate if she is of:
1. Non-childbearing potential defined as pre-menopausal females with a documented bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries) or hysterectomy; hysteroscopic sterilization, or post-menopausal defined as ≥12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea (in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone [FSH] in the post-menopausal range is confirmatory). Documented verbal history from the participant is acceptable for all of the criteria stipulated above.
2. Child-bearing potential and agrees to use effective contraception methods from the signing of informed consent until 120 days after the last dose of study treatment.
3. Lactating but willing to stop breast feeding prior to the first dose of study treatment until 120 days after the last dose of study treatment.
Female participants must agree not to donate ova starting at Screening and for 120 days after the final study drug administration.
Male participants must agree to use highly effective contraception methods. This criterion must be followed from the time of the first dose of study treatment until 120 days after the last dose of study treatment.
Male participants must agree not to donate sperm starting from the time of the first dose of study treatment and for 120 days after the final study drug administration
Judged by the Investigator to be otherwise fit for the study, based on medical history, physical examination, and clinical laboratory assessments. Participants with clinical laboratory values that are outside of normal limits (other than those specified in the Exclusion Criteria) and/or with other abnormal clinical findings that are judged by the Investigator not to compromise participant participation in the study, may be entered into the study
Willing and able to provide written Informed Consent and to comply with the requirements of the study protocol.

Exclusion criteria

Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a positive serum pregnancy test at Screening or on Study Day -1 or women who desire to begin a family or breastfeed during the full length of the study.
Expected requirement for use of any medication (with the exception of continued use by female participants of hormonal contraceptives in accordance with a regimen that has been stable for at least the three months prior to Screening and post-menopausal females using estrogen replacement therapy) from Screening through the end of the study.

History or presence of any form of cancer within the 5 years prior to screening, with the exception of excised basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ such as cervical or breast carcinoma in situ that has been excised or resected completely and is without evidence of local recurrence or metastasis.
History or presence of any medical condition or disease or laboratory abnormality which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may place the participant at unacceptable risk for study participation.
