Subject having C-reactive protein (CRP) levels within the normal range (local laboratory range).

Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant having agreed to use highly effective methods of contraception during dosing and for 6 months after receiving IMP.

Highly effective contraception methods include:

Total abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy), total hysterectomy, or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study treatment. In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment.
Male sterilization (at least 6 months prior to screening). For female patients on the study, the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for that patient, otherwise highly effective methods to be applied.
Use of oral (estrogen and progesterone) hormonal method of contraception, or placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS)
In case of use of oral contraception women should have been stable on the same brand (or generic equivalent) for a minimum of 3 months before taking study treatment.

Women are considered post-menopausal and not of child bearing potential if they have had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile (e.g., age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms) or have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks ago.

Signed informed consent.
