             which had to be obtained prior to any trial-related procedures being completed;

          2. Healthy male and female subjects of any ethnic origin, aged between 18 and 45 years
             (inclusive) assessed as healthy based on a pre-trial examination including medical
             history, physical examination, blood pressure, pulse rate, electrocardiogram (ECG)
             assessment, and clinical laboratory results.

          3. Female subjects of non-childbearing potential had to be either surgically sterile
             (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, salpingectomy, and/or bilateral oophorectomy
             at least 26 weeks prior to Screening) or postmenopausal, defined as spontaneous
             amenorrhea for at least 2 years, with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in the
