Inclusion Criteria:

1. Willing and able to give written informed consent for participation in the study.
2. Healthy male or female subject aged 18-65 years inclusive.
3. Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 18.0 and ≤ 32.0 kg/m2.
4. Clinically normal medical history, physical findings, vital signs, and laboratory values at the time of screening, as judged by the Investigator.
5. Female subjects of child bearing potential must practice abstinence (only allowed when this is the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject) or must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception with a failure rate of < 1% to prevent pregnancy (combined [oestrogen and progestogen containing] hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation [oral, intravaginal, transdermal], progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation [oral, injectable, implantable], intrauterine device [IUD]or intrauterine hormone-releasing system [IUS]) from at least 4 weeks prior to dose to 4 weeks after last dose. Female subjects of non-childbearing potential are defined as pre-menopausal females who are sterilised (tubal ligation or permanent bilateral occlusion of fallopian tubes); or post-menopausal defined as 12 months of amenorrhea (in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous detection of follicle stimulating hormone [FSH] 25-140 IE/L is confirmatory).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of or ongoing clinically significant disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the subject at risk because of participation in the study, or influence the results or the subject's ability to participate in the study.
2. Any clinically significant illness, medical/surgical procedure or trauma within 4 weeks of the first administration of the IP.
3. Malignancy within the past 5 years with the exception of in situ removal of basal cell carcinoma.
4. Any planned major surgery within the duration of the study.

Foods that contain microorganisms, live or dead, that do not confer any health benefit on the host, e.g., regular yoghurt, are allowed.
12. Planned treatment or treatment with an investigational drug within 3 months prior to Day 1. Subjects consented and screened but not dosed in previous clinical studies are not excluded.
