Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Healthy male and female subjects aged between 18 and 55 years, inclusive. Body mass index between ≥18.0 and ≤32.0 kg/m2, inclusive, and a minimum body weight of 45 kg.
  • Able to comprehend and willing to sign an ICF and to abide by the study restrictions.
  • In good health, determined by no clinically significant findings from medical history, 12-lead ECG, vital signs measurements, and clinical laboratory evaluations, and from the physical examination at screening or check-in, as assessed by the investigator (or designee).
  • Serum sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium levels are within the normal range at screening and check-in-

Exclusion Criteria:
