Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Participants are required to meet all the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for participation in the trial:

4. Medically healthy with no clinically significant screening results (e.g., laboratory profiles normal or up to Grade 1 per FDA Toxicity Grading Scale), medical histories, vital signs, ECGs, physical examination findings, as deemed by the Investigator. Lab results within the testing facilities normal range will not be considered AEs when referenced to the FDA (Appendix 2) assessment/grading scale. If exclusionary lab criteria are met, values may be confirmed by repeat evaluation.

5. No use of tobacco or nicotine containing products (including smoking cessation products), for a minimum of 6 months prior to dosing.

6. Females of non-childbearing potential, having undergone one of the following sterilization procedures at least 6 months prior to dosing:

1. Hysteroscopic sterilization

2. Bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral salpingectomy

3. Hysterectomy

4. Bilateral oophorectomy or be postmenopausal with amenorrhea for at least 1 year prior to the first dose with serum

5. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels consistent with postmenopausal status at screening.

7. Non-vasectomized males (or males vasectomized less than 120 days prior to trial start), must agree to the following during trial participation and for 90 days following the last administration of trial drug:

1. Use a condom with spermicide while engaging in sexual activity or be sexually abstinent

2. Not donate sperm during this time.

8. In the event the sexual partner is surgically sterile, use of a condom with spermicide is not necessary.

9. None of the restrictions listed above are required for vasectomized males whose procedure was performed more than 120 days prior to trial start.

10. Willing to answer inclusion and exclusion criteria questionnaire at check-in.

11. Participant understands trial procedures and provides written informed consent for the trial.

12. Be able to comply with the protocol and the assessments therein, including all restrictions.

14. If enrolled in Part 1 and assigned to the fasted/fed cohort, is willing and able to consume the entire high-calorie, high-fat breakfast meal in the timeframe required.

15. Has negative Quantiferon test during the screening. -

Exclusion Criteria:

Participants will be excluded from the trial if there is evidence of any of the following criteria at screening or check-in, as appropriate.

1. History or presence of significant cardiovascular abnormalities, Heart Murmur, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, haematological, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, neurological, or psychiatric disease as determined by the Investigator to be clinically relevant.

2. Any musculoskeletal abnormality (severe tenderness with marked impairment of activity) or musculoskeletal toxicity (frank necrosis).

3. History of any illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might confound the results of the trial or poses an additional risk to the participant by their participation in the trial.

4. Surgery within the past 90 days prior to dosing or other previous surgery as determined by the Investigator to be clinically relevant.

5. History or presence of alcoholism or drug abuse within the past 2 years as determined by the Investigator to be clinically relevant.

6. Female participants who are pregnant or lactating.

7. Positive results for the urine drug/alcohol breath screen at screening or check-in.

8. Positive urine cotinine at screening or check-in.

9. Participants with the following laboratory abnormalities at screening:

1. ALT or AST >1.0 times ULN

2. Creatinine grade 2 or greater (>1.5 times ULN)

3. Total lipase or amylase >1.0 times ULN

4. Total bilirubin grade 1 or greater (>1.0 times ULN)

5. CPK >1.25 times ULN If exclusionary lab criteria are met, values may be confirmed by repeat evaluation.

10. Positive results at screening for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg), or Hepatitis C antibodies (HCV).

11. Positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) results at screening.

12. Seated or supine blood pressure is less than 90/40 mmHg or greater than 150/90 mmHg at screening, Day -2 (check-in), Day -1, or pre-dose. Out of range vital signs may be repeated once for confirmation.

Out of range values will not be considered AEs if the repeat assessment is in range.

13. Heart rate is lower than 40 bpm or higher than 100 bpm at screening, Day -2 (check-in), Day -1, or pre-dose. Out of range vital signs may be repeated once for confirmation. Out of range values will not be considered AE s if the repeat assessment is in range.

14. Any clinically significant electrocardiogram abnormality at Screening (as deemed by decision of the Investigator and the Sponsor's Medical Monitor).

NOTE: The following can be considered not clinically significant without consulting the Sponsor's Medical Monitor:

1. Mild first-degree A-V block (P-R interval <0.23 sec)

2. Right or left axis deviation

3. Incomplete right bundle branch block

4. Isolated left anterior fascicular block (left anterior hemiblock) in younger athletic participants

15. QTcF interval >450 ms for males or >470 ms for females at screening, Day -2, Day -1, or Day 1 (pre-dose), or history of prolonged QT syndrome. For triplicate ECGs taken at screening and Day-2, the average QTcF interval of the three ECG recordings will be used to determine qualification.

16. Family history of Long-QT Syndrome or sudden death without a preceding diagnosis of a condition that could be causative of sudden death (such as known coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure or terminal cancer).

17. Use of any prescription medication within 14 days prior to dosing.

19. Use of any drugs or substances known to be significant inhibitors of Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and/or significant inhibitors or substrates of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and/or Organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATP) within 14 days prior to the first dose of trial drug.

20. Use of any drugs or substances known to be inducers of CYP enzymes and/or P-gp, including St. John's Wort, within 30 days prior to the first dose of trial drug.

21. Blood donation or significant blood loss (volume >500 ml) within 56 days prior to dosing.
