3. A body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 34.9 kg/m2, inclusive extremes.

4. Judged to be in age-appropriate good health by the investigator based upon the results of a medical history, physical examination, vital signs and 12-lead ECG, and fasting clinical laboratory profile.

5. Subjects with a stable chronic illness at least 3 months will be accepted subject to the investigator's judgment.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Administration of intraarticular glucocorticoid injections or hyaluronan injections in the last 3 months prior to study screening.

2. Subjects who underwent or are on a waiting list for total hip or knee replacement and any other surgery planned during the study (up to Day 50).

5. History of or a current immunosuppressive condition.

6. Clinically significant serious, per investigator's discretion, and/or unstable illness in the 3 months before screening

8. Use of verapamil, diltiazem, amitriptyline, warfarin, acenocoumarol, phenobarbital and phenytoin, within 4 weeks before first study drug administration

10. History of solid organ or hematopoietic cell transplantation.

11. History of malignancy within the past 5 years.

12. Clinically significant abnormalities detected on 12-lead ECG of either rhythm or conduction (e.g., QTcF ≥ 450 ms for males and QTcF ≥ 470 ms for females, or a known long QT syndrome).

13. Significant blood loss (including blood donation [> 450 mL]), or transfusion of any blood product within 12 weeks prior to screening
