Inclusion criteria Signed written informed consent
Target population
  • Healthy subjects as determined by no clinically significant deviation from normal in medical history, physical examination, electrocardiograms, and clinical laboratory determinations

  • Body mass index 18–35 kg/m2 (CV181033), 18–32 kg/m2 (CV181053), and 18–30 kg/m2 (CV181005), inclusive

Physical and laboratory test findings
  • Evidence of organ dysfunction or any clinically significant deviation from normal in physical examination, vital signs, electrocardiogram, or clinical laboratory determinations. A clinically significant laboratory abnormality is defined as a value >1.25 × upper limit of normal and < 0.85 × lower limit of normal when low values are clinically significant, eg, calcium

  • Positive urine screen for drugs of abuse either at screening or before dosing

  • Positive blood screen for hepatitis C antibody

  • History or evidence on screening of clinically significant arrhythmias, including but not limited to atrioventricular block, sick sinus syndrome, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, and sinus bradycardia (heart rate <55 beats per minute) (CV181053)

  • Heart rate <55 beats per minute based on screening and day 1 predose evaluations (CV181053)

  • Blood pressure <100/60 mmHg based on screening and day 1 predose evaluations (CV181053)

Allergies and adverse drug reactions
