Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Subject is able to read, write, and comprehend English at a sufficient level to understand study-related materials
Subject is able to provide written informed consent and to comply with all study requirements and restrictions
Subject is male or female and aged 18 to 65 years, inclusive, at the time of informed consent
Subject is in good health as determined by the PI based on detailed medical history, physical examination, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, ECGs, and other pre-dose evaluations

Subject agrees to use a medically acceptable form of birth control from CRU admission until at least 30 days (female subject) or 90 days (male subject) after the last dose of study drug. Males will also not donate sperm from CRU admission until at least 90 days after the last dose of study drug. If a subject is not sexually active but becomes active during study participation, the subject agrees they and their partner will use a medically accepted form of contraception for the time specified. Medically acceptable forms of contraception are:

FDA-approved female hormonal contraceptives used consistently for 2 or more cycles before Screening, including oral contraceptives, intrauterine device (IUD), medroxyprogesterone acetate injection (Depo Provera®), hormonal implant (Norplant®, Implanon®, Nexplanon®), and vaginal ring (NuvaRing®)
Male condom plus spermicide
Male condom plus contraceptive sponge, foam, or jelly
Female condom plus spermicide
Diaphragm with spermicide plus male condom
Cervical cap with spermicide plus male condom
Surgical sterilization of the subject or partner (vasectomy for males, hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy for females)
Abstinence
If female, subject agrees that a serum pregnancy test ([β hCG] beta human chorionic gonadotropin ) will be performed at Screening, on Day 2 (CRU admission), and at the last study visit and negative test results at Screening and CRU admission are required to be considered for study participation
Subject has a body mass index (BMI) of 20 to 35 kg/m2, inclusive, and body weight < 120 kg at Screening

Exclusion Criteria:

Subject currently uses tobacco or nicotine-containing products or has used such products within 6 months before CRU admission
Subject has history or current evidence of any clinically significant cardiac, endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatobiliary, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary, neurologic, dermatologic, psychiatric, renal, or other major disease, as determined by the PI
Subject has a history of cancer within 5 years before CRU admission (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer)
Subject has a history of autonomic dysfunction (eg, history of repeated dizziness, fainting, or symptomatic orthostatic hypotension)
Subject has a history of risk factors for torsades de pointes, including unexplained syncope, known long QT syndrome, heart failure, myocardial infarction, angina, OR clinically significant abnormal laboratory assessments including hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, or hypercalcemia OR has a family history of long QT syndrome or Brugada syndrome
Subject has 1 or more clinically significant abnormal laboratory test values (as determined by the PI)
Subject has an uninterpretable or abnormal screening ECG indicating a second- or third-degree atrioventricular block, or 1 or more of the following: QRS interval (ventricular depolarization) > 110 msec; a PR interval (atrioventricular conduction) > 220 msec, or QTc (corrected QT interval) of ≥ 450 msec (for male) or ≥ 470 msec (for female) or any rhythm other than sinus rhythm that is interpreted by the PI or a qualified designee to be clinically significant
Subject has a resting heart rate (HR) of < 40 beats/min or > 90 beats/min at Screening or on CRU admission
Subject has a sustained supine systolic blood pressure (BP) > 155 or < 90 mm Hg or a supine diastolic BP > 95 or < 50 mm Hg at Screening or upon CRU admission. Blood pressure in the supine position may be retested once and 'sustained' is defined as the parameter (either systolic or diastolic BP) being outside the stated limits at both assessments.
Subject participates in another clinical trial or treatment with an investigational agent within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before CRU admission
Subject has a history of alcohol or drug abuse or dependence within 12 months before CRU admission, as determined by the PI
Subject has a clinically significant infection within 3 months before CRU admission, as determined by the PI
Subject has any condition that, in the opinion of the PI, would make the subject unsuitable for enrollment or could interfere with the subject's participation in or completion of the study
Subject has a positive urine screen for prohibited drugs (cocaine, cannabinoids, nicotine [urine cotinine is the detection mechanism for nicotine], opiates, barbiturates, amphetamines, and benzodiazepines) or positive urine test for alcohol
Subject has a positive blood screen for human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B surface antigen, or hepatitis C virus antibody at the Screening Visit
Subject has had a known or suspected hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reaction to the cellulose used in the placebo to be used in this study
Subject has donated blood or any blood products within 3 months before Screening or plans to donate blood during or within 3 months after study completion
Subject consumes an excessive amount of caffeine daily, defined as > 4 cups of coffee or equivalent per day. Subjects will abstain from caffeine consumption for 48 hours before dosing and while confined to the CRU.
Subject has consumed or will consume any concomitant therapy; prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medication; or nutritional, herbal, or vitamin supplements other than contraceptives (eg, oral, systemic) and ibuprofen (only if needed, maximum 2.4 g/day) from 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before dosing and while confined to the CRU
For Part 2 only: Subject has consumed any food, juice, beverage, or medication (prescription or non-prescription) containing acetaminophen, alcohol, avocado, banana, caffeine, eggplant, kiwi fruit, nut (hickory nut, pecan, walnut), pineapple, plum, or tomato products within 48 hours before CRU admission
