  • Subjects who have participated in an ADME study involving carbon-14 within 12 months of screening.
  • Clinically significant abnormal clinical chemistry, haematology or urinalysis as judged by the investigator. Subjects with Gilbert's Syndrome are not allowed
  • Clinically significant abnormalities on vital signs or ECGs as judged by the investigator at screening or pre-dose
  • Confirmed positive drugs of abuse test result
  • Positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV Ab) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody results
  • Evidence of renal impairment at screening, as indicated by an estimated creatinine clearance (CLcr) of \<80 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation
  • History of clinically significant cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, dermatological, chronic respiratory or gastrointestinal disease or neurological disorder, as judged by the investigator
  • Any history of major depression disorder (MDD) requiring treatment or counselling or any other clinically significant psychiatric history, as judged by the investigator
  • Serious adverse reaction or serious hypersensitivity to any drug or the formulation excipients
  • Presence or history of clinically significant allergy requiring treatment, as judged by the investigator. Hay fever is allowed unless it is active
  • Donation of blood or plasma within the previous 3 months or loss of greater than 400 mL of blood
  • Subjects who are taking, or have taken, any prescribed or over-the-counter drug or herbal remedies (other than up to 4 g of paracetamol per day) in the 14 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before IMP administration. COVID-19 vaccines are accepted concomitant medications. Exceptions may apply on a case by case basis, if considered not to interfere with the objectives of the study, as determined by the investigator.
  • Subject answers "yes" to "Suicidal Ideation" Items 1 or 2 on the C-SSRS at screening
  • Failure to satisfy the investigator of fitness to participate for any other reason.
