Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Provision of written informed consent prior to conducting any study-related procedures, including withdrawal of medications.
- Male subjects aged 18 to 55 years, inclusive at Screening.
- Body mass index (BMI) calculated as weight in kg/height in m2 from ≥18 to ≤30 kg/m2 and weight ≥50 kg at Screening.
- Healthy, free from any clinically significant disease/ conditions (including all cardiovascular conditions), as determined by medical history, physical examination, clinical laboratory testing, 12-lead ECG findings at Screening and admission to the unit.
- Spirometry readings (FEV1 and Forced Vital Capacity [FVC]) to be ≥80% of predicted value calculated using Quanjer 2012 reference equations (Quanjer et al 2012) at Screening.
- Normal blood pressure (BP) (defined as systolic BP [SBP] ≥90 and ≤140 mmHg, and diastolic BP [DBP] ≥50 and ≤90 mmHg) at Screening and admission to the unit, measured after resting in supine position for at least 10 minutes.
- Normal heart rate (HR) (defined as HR ≥45 and ≤90) measured after resting in supine position for at least 10 minutes at Screening and admission to the unit.
- Negative for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B core (HBc) antibody (IgM), hepatitis C antibody and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) I and II antibodies at Screening.
- Negative for drugs of abuse and alcohol tests at Screening and admission to the unit.
- Normal serum potassium at Screening and at admission to the unit.
- Willing and able to comply with study specific procedures and restrictions
Exclusion Criteria:
- Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both AstraZeneca staff and/or staff at the study site).
- Surgical history clinically relevant for the purpose of the study or any clinically significant illness, medical/surgical procedure or trauma within 4 weeks of Screening.
- History of malignancy of any organ system, treated or untreated within the past 5 years, with the exception of localised basal cell carcinoma of the skin.
- Current smokers, or a smoking history during the last 6 months or total smoking history of more than 10 pack-years. Use of electronic cigarettes or other forms of nicotine, current use or use within the last 6 months.

- PR (PQ) interval shortening <120 ms (PR >110 ms but <120 ms is acceptable if there is no evidence of ventricular pre-excitation) at Screening.
- PR (PQ) interval prolongation (> 240 ms), intermittent second (Wenckebach block while asleep is not exclusive), or third degree atrioventricular block, or atrioventricular dissociation at Screening.
- Persistent or intermittent complete bundle branch block (BBB), incomplete bundle branch block (IBBB), or intraventricular conduction delay (IVCD) with QRS >110 ms.
- Subject who does not agree to follow instructions to avoid partner pregnancy.
- Subject who is not able to adhere to the restrictions on prior and concomitant medications.
- Used any investigational drug within 3 months prior to Screening or within the equivalent time of 5 half-lives of receiving the last administration, whichever is longer, or on an extended follow-up after receiving an IMP.
- Subjects unable to communicate reliably with the Investigator.
- Vulnerable subjects, e.g., kept in detention, protected adults under guardianship, trusteeship, or committed to an institution by governmental or juridical order.
