Exclusion Criteria:

All subjects

1. Female subject who has been pregnant within the 6 months prior to Screening or breastfeeding within the 3 months prior to Screening.
2. Treatment with any antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant medication, except low-dose aspirin.
3. Evidence or history of specific food intolerance. Examples include gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, or dairy food intolerance or any food/ingredient included in the standard breakfast provided at the study site.
4. A positive result, on Screening, for serum hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis A virus antibodies, hepatitis C virus antibodies or antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and/or type 2.
5. Known active infection with COVID-19, or a suspected infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 [SARS-CoV-2]).
6. Chronic alcoholic intoxication that would preclude compliance with the study procedures.
7. Habitual use of nicotine products or smoking within 3 months (>10 cigarettes per day) prior to Screening, and/or unwilling to refrain from smoking during the confinement period. Nicotine replacement therapy is allowed during the study.
8. Drug addiction that would preclude participation and compliance with study procedures.
9. Subject has a pulse rate \<40 or >100 bpm; mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) >150 mmHg; mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) >95 mmHg at Screening. Repeat measurements are allowed at the discretion of the Investigator.
10. Subject has any clinically significant abnormalities at Screening in rhythm, conduction or morphology of the resting ECG and any clinically significant abnormalities in the 12-lead ECG, as considered by the Investigator, that may interfere with the interpretation of QTc interval changes including abnormal ST-T wave morphology.
11. Subject has prolonged QTcF >450 msec for male subjects or >470 msec for female subjects or a family history of prolonged QT syndrome, at Screening.
12. Plasma donation within the 14 days prior to the first dose of IP or any whole blood donation/significant blood loss >500 mL during the 3 months prior to the first dose of IP.
13. Treatment with any investigational drug or device/treatment within the 30 days or 5 half-lives of the drug (whichever is longer) prior to the administration of IP.

15. Evidence or history of clinically significant hematological, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurologic, or allergic disease (including drug allergies, but excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies and childhood asthma) at time of Screening or IP administration, that in the opinion of the Investigator may put the subject at greater safety risk, influence response to study drug, or interfere with study assessments.

18. Subject has any clinically significant abnormalities in hematology, coagulation, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis at Screening as judged by the Investigator, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or ALT >1.5 times above the ULN. Repeat measurements are allowed at the discretion of the Investigator.

Evidence or history of clinically significant hematological, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurologic, or allergic disease (including drug allergies, but excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies and childhood asthma) at time of Screening or IP administration, that in the opinion of the Investigator may put the subject at greater safety risk, influence response to study drug, or interfere with study assessments. NOTE: Subjects with treated diabetes secondary to CP or pancreatectomy are allowed.
21. Subject has any clinically significant abnormalities in hematology, coagulation, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis at Screening as judged by the Investigator, including AST or ALT >1.5 times above the ULN, or cholesterol or triglycerides >400 mg/dL.
