Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Judged by the investigator to be in good health based on medical history, physical examination, vital sign measurements, and electrocardiogram's (ECG's) performed at screening and/or prior to administration of initial dose of study drug 2.

Testing may be repeated once during the screening period in case the visit 1 levels fall outside of the required range 3.

Non-prescription medications and nutritional supplements are permitted after alignment of investigator and sponsor on their use 6. Using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) or Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) equation, has an estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) of \<60 mL/min/1.73m2 at the screening visit, as defined in the protocol 7. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) with clinically significant abnormality in the opinion of investigator or ≥1.5× Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) range at screening or day -1 visits 8. Is positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or Hepatitis B surface Antigen (HBsAg) at the screening visit. Evidence of prior hepatitis B immunization or prior resolved hepatitis B infection is not an exclusion 9.
