Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subject is able to provide written informed consent before initiation of any study-related procedures.

2. Subject is a healthy male or female adult between 18 and 65 years of age, inclusive.

3. Subject has a body mass index (BMI) < 45 kg/m2.

4. Subject is in good health based on medical history and physical examination findings and has no clinically meaningful safety laboratory abnormalities (CBC, blood chemistry, and urinalysis) or 12-lead ECG results, as assessed by the Principal Investigator (PI).

5. Vital signs (BP, pulse and temperature) measured at screening/baseline must be within the following ranges: SBP ≥90 to ≤150 mm Hg, DBP ≥45 to ≤90 mm Hg; Heart Rate ≥ 45 to ≤90 bpm (taken after resting in a supine position for at least 5 minutes).

6. Female subject is surgically sterile, postmenopausal, or, if of childbearing potential, agrees to use at least 2 acceptable methods of birth control (e.g. prescription oral contraceptives, contraceptive injections, contraceptive patch, intrauterine device, barrier methods, abstinence) or male partner sterilization alone for the duration of the study until 60 days after study drug administration.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Has any condition, including findings in the medical history or in prestudy assessments that constitutes a risk or a contraindication for the participation in the study or completing the study.

2. Any coagulation test results that are outside of the normal range at Screening.

3. Any of the following coagulation tests results that are outside of the normal range at Baseline (Pre-Dose): Prothrombin Time/International Normalized Ratio (PT/INR), Activated clotting time (ACT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT).

4. Positive breath test for alcohol and/or positive urine test for drugs of abuse at Screening.

5. Has a history or presence of alcohol/drug abuse within 2 years. Alcohol abuse is defined as regularly consuming >3 units/day (21 units per week for men), >2 units/day (14 units/week) for women. A unit is defined as a can of 4% beer (330 mL), approximately 190 mL of 6-7% beer (malt liquor), a glass of 40% spirits (30 mL), a glass of wine (100 mL).

6. Blood or plasma donation within past 2 months.

7. History of hypersensitivity to drugs with a similar chemical structure (i.e. glycopeptide antibiotics) to the investigational product or any of its excipients.

8. Participation in other clinical research studies involving the evaluation of other investigational drugs or devices within 90 days prior to enrollment and/or unwilling to allow at least two months before participation in another drug trial following the current trial.

9. Treatment with any prescription or OTC drugs, within 2 weeks or five half-lives, whichever is longer, or herbal nutritional supplements within 2 weeks of screening, with the exception of acetaminophen/paracetamol for minor headache. Subjects will not be allowed to receive medications for the duration of the study (except the abovementioned acetaminophen/paracetamol). Birth control or other hormone replacement is also permitted as long as it has been taken at a stable dose for at least three months before the Screening Visit and remains stable for the duration of the study.

10. Females who are pregnant or nursing or who have a positive pregnancy test result at screening.

11. Males who are unwilling to practice abstinence or use an acceptable method of birth control during the entire study period (i.e. condom with spermicide, where locally available).
