Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the participant has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study.
- Participants who are willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.
- Healthy men and women aged 18 to 55 years of age, and in good health as determined by past medical history, physical examination, vital signs, electrocardiogram, and laboratory tests at screening.
At screening, and all other visits, vital signs (systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate) will be assessed in the sitting position and again (when required) in the standing position. Sitting vital signs should be within the following ranges:
I. axillary body temperature between 35.5-37.0 °C II. systolic blood pressure, 90-139 mmHg III. diastolic blood pressure, 50-89 mmHg IV. Pulse rate, 50-90 bpm. If pulse rate is between 40 and 50 bpm, the Investigator may decide to enroll the subject if he/she has history of athletic practice or other regular high cardio-vascular activity and ECG assessment is within normal range.
Subjects should be excluded if their standing vital signs (relative to sitting) show findings which, in the opinion of the Investigator, are associated with clinical manifestation of postural hypotension (i.e. absence of any other cause). The Investigator should carefully consider enrolling subjects with either a > 20 mmHg decrease in systolic or a >10 mm Hg decrease in diastolic blood pressure, accompanied by a > 20 bpm increase in heart-rate (from sitting to standing).
- Subjects must weigh at least 40 kg to participate in the study and must have a body mass index (BMI) within the range 18-30 Kg/m2. BMI= Body weight (kg) / [Height (m)]2
- HIV antibody negative at screening.
- Women of childbearing potential must be willing to use a highly effective contraception method (eg. IUD or hormonal contraceptive implant, complete abstinence (if genuinely followed)) or consistent use of a barrier method such as male or female condoms plus oral progestin contraceptives for the duration of the study. Non-surgically sterilized men must agree to abstain from sexual intercourse for the duration of the study or use condoms for contraception for the duration of the study.
- Hemoglobin concentration equal or greater than 10 g/dL
Exclusion Criteria:
- Significant disease affecting cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal or neurological symptoms which in the clinician's medical judgment could be worsened by participating in this study or the presence of medical or surgical conditions which could prevent the subject from complying with study procedures.
- Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) levels above 2x upper limit of normal (ULN) or total bilirubin > 1.3x ULN
- Serum creatinine levels above 1.5x upper limit of normal
- Evidence of QT prolongation on electrocardiogram (ECG) QTc (Rate adjusted QT interval) > 450ms (men) or 460ms (women)
- Pregnant women or female subjects who are unwilling to use a suitable contraceptive method for the duration of the study (IUD or contraceptive implant)
- Likely to be poorly adherent based on clinician's medical judgement
- Known to be current injection drug user
