- Healthy male and/or female subjects between the ages of 18 and 55 years, inclusive
(Healthy is defined as no clinically relevant abnormalities identified by a detailed

of 50 to 100 kg.
- An informed consent document signed and dated by the subject or a legally-acceptable

longer) preceding the first dose of study medication.

may be repeated two more times and the average of the three QTc values should be used
to determine the subject's eligibility.
