About this trial
This is an interventional prevention trial for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- at least 18 and no older than 65 on the day of first dosing
- healthy
- Quetelet Index (Body Mass Index) of 18 to 30 kg/m2
- In general, results of haematology and chemistry should be within the laboratory's reference ranges. Determinants of renal and hepatic function should be within twice the upper limit of normal range.

- history of smoking within the past year
- history of or current abuse of drugs, alcohol and/or solvents
- Current use of any (over the counter) medication potentially influencing heme oxygenase or the cardiovascular system
- Inability to understand the nature and extent of the trial and the procedures required
- Participation to a drug trial within 60 days prior to the first dose
- Febrile illness within 3 days before the first dose
- Heterozygosity (LS) or homozygosity (LL) with regard to the number of GT repeats in the HO-1 promoter region
