Exclusion Criteria:

* Any clinically relevant abnormality identified on the screening medical assessment, laboratory examination or ECG

* Exposure to more than four new chemical entities within 12 months prior to the first dosing day
* History of sensitivity to any of the study medications, or components thereof or a history of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the physician responsible, contraindicates their participation
