• Participants must have a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) consistent with normal cardiac conduction and function at screening, including: a) Sinus rhythm (heart rate between 45 and 100 beats per minute (bpm), inclusive); b) QT interval corrected for heart rate according to Fridericia (QTcF) interval between 350 milliseconds (ms) and 430 ms for male participants, and between 350 ms and 450 ms for female participants (inclusive); c) QRS interval of <110 ms; d) PR interval <=200 ms; e) Morphology consistent with healthy cardiac conduction and function

• Participants must be non-smokers for at least 3 months prior to screening

• Participants must be healthy on the basis of a medical evaluation that reveals the absence of any clinically significant abnormality and includes a complete physical examination, medical and surgical history, vital signs, ECGs, and the results of blood biochemistry and hematology tests and a urinalysis performed at screening. If there are abnormalities the participant may be included only if the Investigator judges the abnormalities or deviations from normal to be not clinically significant. This determination must be recorded in the participant's source documents and initialed by the Investigator

• Participants must have normal values for alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (<= 1.0*upper limit of laboratory normal range [ULN])

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participants has a history of current clinically significant medical illness including (but not limited to) cardiac arrhythmias or other cardiac disease, hematologic disease, coagulation disorders (including any abnormal bleeding or blood dyscrasias), lipid abnormalities, significant pulmonary disease, including bronchospastic respiratory disease, diabetes mellitus, hepatic or renal insufficiency, thyroid disease, neurologic or psychiatric disease, infection, or any other illness that the Investigator considers should exclude the participant or that could interfere with the interpretation of the study results
