Inclusion
Inclusion Criteria:
Healthy male or female volunteer. Subject must be healthy based on physicalexamination, medical history, vital signs, and 12-lead ECG. Minor abnormalities inECG, which are not considered to be of clinical significance by the investigator,are acceptable.
Subjects must be healthy based on clinical laboratory tests performed at screening.If the results of the serum chemistry panel, hematology, or urinalysis are outsidethe normal reference ranges, the subject may be included only if the investigatorjudges the abnormalities to be not clinically significant. This determination mustbe recorded in the subject's source documents and initialled by the subinvestigator.
Aged 18-60 years inclusive.

Subjects can be included if the repeat value is within range orstill borderline, but deemed not clinically significant by the investigator.
QTcF value at screening of > 450 msec (men) or > 470 msec (women) on 12 lead ECG.Triplicate measurements will be made, and a mean QTcF value higher than 450 msec (men) or 470 msec (women) will lead to exclusion. A repeat (in triplicate) isallowed on one occasion for determination of eligibility.
