Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin <=1.5xupper limit of normal (ULN) (isolated bilirubin >1.5xULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%).

• Healthy as determined by a responsible and experienced physician, based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and electrocardiogram (ECGs).

• A subject with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameters outside the reference range for the population being studied may be included only if the Investigator and the OWC Medical Monitor agree that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures.

• Subjects with hemoglobin (Hb) values higher than ULN the normal range should always be excluded from enrollment.

• A female subject is eligible to participate if she is of non-childbearing potential (postmenopausal or pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy). Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the contraception methods in the protocol.

• Male subjects with female partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use one of the contraception methods listed in the protocol.

• Agree not to participate in any other interventional clinical trials during the study

• Agree to follow study instructions meticulously

• A positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody.

• The subject has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigational product within the following time period prior to the first dosing day in the current study: 30 days, 5 half-lives (whichever is longer).

• Unable to refrain from the use of prescription or non-prescription drugs, including vitamins, herbal and dietary supplements within 7 days (or 14 days if the drug is a potential enzyme inducer) or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study medication, unless in the opinion of the Investigator and OWC Medical Monitor the medication will not interfere with the study procedures or compromise subject safety.

• History of sensitivity to any of the study medications, or components thereof or a history of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator or OWC Medical Monitor, contraindicates their participation.

• Pregnant females as determined by positive urine human chorionic gonadotropin test at screening or prior to dosing.
