8. documented history of drug abuse within 12 months prior to screening or a positive urine drug screen evaluated at screening or prior to study treatment administration; 9. intake of non-permitted concomitant medications in the predefined period prior to screening or prior to study treatment administration, or the subject is expected to take non-permitted concomitant medications during the study 10. unsuitable veins for repeated venepuncture; 11. participation in another clinical study where an investigational treatment was received, and last investigations were performed less than 8 weeks prior to screening; 12. presence of any current infection, or previous infection that resolved less than 7 days prior to screening or to study treatment administration; 13. known intolerance and/or hypersensitivity to any of the excipients contained in the formulation used in the study; 14. heavy caffeine drinker (average of \> 5 cups or glasses per day of caffeinated beverages e.g. coffee, tea, cola, calculated by number of standard espresso portions); 15. positive urine test for cotinine at screening or prior to study treatment administration; 16. contra-indications/warnings/precaution for use: contra-indications to the investigational medicinal product constitute an exclusion criterion. for warnings/precaution for use, eligibility will be judged by the investigator; 17. the use of any kind of smoking electronic devices within 6 months before screening and before study treatment administration; 18. clinically relevant and/or uncontrolled cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal, haematological, endocrine, metabolic, respiratory, neurologic, neoplastic or psychiatric disorder that, based on the investigator's judgment, may interfere with successful completion of this study. healthy subjects only: 19. any hepatic disorder that, based on the investigator's medical judgment, may interfere with successful completion of this study; 20. positive results from the hepatitis serology which indicate acute or chronic hepatitis b or hepatitis c (e.g. positive hepatitis b surface antigen \[hbsag\], hepatitis b core antibody \[immunoglobulin m antibody to hepatitis b core antigen; igm anti-hbc\], hepatitis c virus \[hcv\] antibody); note: subjects with an isolated antibody to hbsag (anti-hbs) positive result, immune due to a medical history of vaccination, are permitted; 21. abnormal liver enzymes at screening or prior to study treatment administration (alanine aminotransferase \[alt\], aspartate aminotransferase \[ast\], gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase or total bilirubin;
