Laboratory parameters within the normal range, unless the Investigator considers an abnormality to be clinically irrelevant for healthy subjects. Females of childbearing potential (pre-menopausal female biologically capable of becoming pregnant) or not documented post-menopausal (menopause is defined as being amenorrheic for at least 1 year with plasma FSH level more than 30 UI/L) who are sexually active with a male partner must be willing to use one of the following acceptable contraceptive method throughout the study and for 30 days after the last IMP (Investigational Medicinal Product) administration: Intra-uterine contraceptive device placed at least 4 weeks prior to IMP administration. Male condom with intravaginally applied spermicide starting at least 21 days prior to IMP administration. Hormonal contraceptives starting at least 4 weeks prior to IMP administration and must agree to use the same hormonal contraceptive throughout the study. Sterile male partner (vasectomized since at least 6 months). Male subject, whose partners are of childbearing potential (including lactating women), must accept to use, during sexual intercourse, an adequate contraception for study period duration.
