About this trial

This is an interventional prevention trial for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 65 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

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.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Documented history of sensitivity / idiosyncrasy to medicinal products or excipients
  • 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
