• •12. Positive test for HBsAg, hepatitis C virus antibody, or human immunodeficiency virus antibody at Screening.
• •13. Active systemic bacterial, viral, or fungal infection within 14 days prior to dosing on T1, D2 or presence of fever (confirmed body temperature \> 38 ºC) within 14 days prior to dosing on T1, D2.
• •Diagnostic Assessments
• •14. Laboratory parameters outside of the laboratory normal range (hematology, biochemistry, coagulation, urinalysis), unless deemed NCS by the Investigator.
• •15. Has vital signs outside of the following normal range at Screening or Baseline, unless considered NCS by the Investigator: supine SBP 90-140 mmHg, supine DBP 50-90 mmHg, supine PR 40-100 bpm.
• •16. Has any clinically significant abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of resting ECG or clinically important abnormalities that may interfere with the interpretation of QTc interval changes, or values outside of the normal range, unless considered NCS by the Investigator.
• •17. Positive test results for alcohol or drugs of abuse at Screening or Baseline. Prior/Concomitant Therapies
• •18. Has used any prescription medication (excluding hormonal therapy for postmenopausal women or contraception for WOCBP) within 30 days prior to Screening and any medication for the treatment of anxiety within 6 months prior to screening.

• •24. History of significant allergic reactions (anaphylaxis, angioedema) to any product (food, pharmaceutical, etc.).
• •25. Donation of blood or blood products within 90 days, or plasma within 7 days prior to study drug administration on T1, D2.
• •26. Underwent general anesthesia in the 30 days prior to study drug administration on T1, D2.
