E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Healthy, based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and ECG. A subject with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameters outside the reference range for the population being studied may be included only if the Investigator determines that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures. 2.

A minimum list of drugs that will be screened for include amphetamines, barbiturates, cocaine, opiates, cannabinoids and benzodiazepines. 2. A positive history pre-study Hepatitis B surface antigen or positive Hepatitis C antibody result within 3 months of screening. 3. QTc interval >450 ms, and/or a PR interval outside the range 120 to 200 msec or an ECG that is not suitable for QT measurements (e.g. poorly defined termination of the T-wave). 4. The subject has a sustained resting pulse rate <40 or >100 bpm OR a systolic blood pressure >140 or <90 OR a diastolic blood pressure >90 or <50. 5. The subject has a significant cardiac disease or cardiac conduction disorder. 6. Consumption of poppy-seed-containing food, or any other food or drink containing quinine, grapefruit or grapefruit juice [and/or pummelos, exotic citrus fruits, grapefruit hybrids or fruit juices], red wine, Seville oranges, apple juice, vegetables from the mustard green family (e.g., kale, broccoli, watercress, collard greens, kohlrabi, brussels sprouts, mustard) from 7 days prior to the first dose of study medication until the last dose. 7. During each dosing session, subjects will not abstain from ingesting caffeine- or xanthine-containing products (e.g. coffee, tea, cola drinks, chocolate) for 24 hours prior to and after dosing during each session. 8. During each dosing session, subjects will not abstain from alcohol for 24 hours prior to dosing until discharge from the Unit. 9. History of regular alcohol consumption within 6 months of the study defined as: An average weekly intake of greater than 21 units or an average daily intake of greater than 3 units. One unit is equivalent to a half-pint (220mL) of beer or 1 (25mL) measure of spirits or 1 glass (125mL) of wine. 10. The subject has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigational product within 6 month period prior to the first dosing day in the current study. 11. Use of prescription or non-prescription drugs, including vitamins, herbal and dietary supplements (including St John s Wort) within 7 days (or 14 days if the drug is a potential enzyme inducer) or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study medication until the discharge at the second study occasion, unless in the opinion of the Investigator the medication will not interfere with the study. 12. History of sensitivity to any of the study medications or components thereof, or a history of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator contraindicates their participation. 13. A female childbearing potential, defined as: - Subjects not postmenopausal (defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea) who not using the contraception methods or stopping their oral contraceptive during the study or without a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy. - An unwillingness of pre-menopausal female subject to use contraception methods. 14. Unwillingness or inability to follow the procedures outlined in the protocol. 15. History of or suffers from claustrophobia or feels that they will be unable to lie in the MRI. 16. History or presence of neurological or psychiatric conditions (e.g., stroke, significant traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, space occupying lesions, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson`s disease, vascular dementia, transient ischemic attack, any unexplained loss of consciousness, schizophrenia, major depression etc) that may influence the outcome or analysis of the scan results. 17. Presence of electronic device or ferromagnetic metal foreign bodies in vulnerable positions as assessed by a standard pre-MRI questionnaire that contraindicates the MRI performance. 18. The subject smokes > 10 cigarettes a day in the last three months. 19. History or presence of glaucoma, angle-closure 20.Family medical |
