Inclusion Criteria:
All volunteers must satisfy the following criteria to be considered for study
participation:
1. Understands study procedures and voluntarily provides written informed consent prior
to the start of any study-specific procedures.
2. Is a healthy adult male or a healthy adult female of non-childbearing potential, 19 to
50 years of age (inclusive) at the time of screening.
3. Has a body mass index (BMI) ≥18.5 and ≤32.0 (kg/m2) and a body weight of no less than
50.0 kg.
4. Is medically healthy with no clinically significant screening results, as determined
by the Principal Investigator (e.g., laboratory profiles are normal up to and
including Grade 1 per DMID toxicity tables; Appendix 3), medical history, vital signs,
ECG, or physical/neurological examination findings. Note: If exclusionary lab criteria
are met, values may be confirmed by repeat evaluation.
5. Has not used tobacco- or nicotine-containing products (including smoking cessation
products), for a minimum of 6 months before dosing.
6. If female, she has undergone one of the following sterilization procedures at least 6
months before dosing:
- Hysteroscopic sterilization;
- Bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral salpingectomy;
- Hysterectomy; or
- Bilateral oophorectomy;
- Or is postmenopausal with amenorrhea for at least 1 year before the first dose
with serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels consistent with
postmenopausal status (i.e., greater than 40 mIU/mL) at screening.
- Or, if female of childbearing potential, must agree to use an allowable form of
birth control from screening until 14 days after study completion. The following
are allowed birth control methods for this study:
- Vasectomized partner (at least 6 months before dosing);
- Non-surgical permanent sterilization (e.g., Essure procedure) at least 3 months
before dosing;
- Double barrier method (e.g., diaphragm with spermicide; condoms with spermicide);
- Intrauterine device (IUD);
- Abstinence (and must agree to use a double barrier method if they become sexually
active during the study);
- Implanted or intrauterine hormonal contraceptives in use for at least 6
consecutive months before study dosing; and/or

7. If a non-vasectomized male (or male vasectomized less than 120 days prior to study
start) he must agree to the following during study participation and for 90 days after
the last administration of study drug:
- Use a condom with spermicide while engaging in sexual activity or be sexually
abstinent,
- Not donate sperm during this time. In the event the sexual partner is surgically
sterile or postmenopausal, use of a condom with spermicide is not necessary. None
of the birth control restrictions listed above are required for vasectomized
males whose procedure was performed more than 120 days before study start.
8. Is willing to answer inclusion and exclusion criteria questionnaire at check-in.
9. Is able to comply with the protocol and the assessments therein, including all
restrictions.
10. Is willing and able to remain in the study unit for the entire duration of the
assigned confinement period(s), return for outpatient visit(s), and receive a phone
call for follow-up questioning about AEs.
11. If enrolled in the food-effect cohort, is willing and able to consume the entire
high-calorie, high-fat breakfast meal in the timeframe required.
Exclusion Criteria:
Volunteers will be excluded from study participation for any of the following:
1. History or presence of clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic,
renal, hematological, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic,
neurological (including epilepsy), oncologic, or psychiatric disease or any other
condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the
subject or the validity of the study results.
2. Evidence on physical exam and targeted neurologic exam of specific findings such as
resting or intention tremor, dysmetria, nystagmus or ataxia, or abnormal deep tendon
reflexes (either zero or hyper-reflexia).
3. History of any illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might confound the
results of the study or pose an additional risk to the subject by their participation
in the study.
4. Surgery within the past 90 days prior to dosing as determined by the Investigator to
be clinically relevant, or any history of cholecystectomy.
5. History or presence of alcoholism or drug abuse within the past 2 years as determined
by the Investigator to be clinically relevant.
6. History of sensitivity or contraindication to use of linezolid, sulfa drugs, or any
study investigational products.
7. Participation in another clinical trial within 30 days prior to dosing.
8. Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating.
9. Positive result on a urine drug/alcohol/cotinine screen at Baseline or check-in.
10. Seated blood pressure is less than 90/40 mmHg or greater than 140/90 mmHg at
screening. Out-of-range vital signs may be repeated once for confirmation.
11. Seated heart rate is lower than 40 bpm or higher than 99 bpm at screening.
Out-of-range vital signs may be repeated once for confirmation.
12. Any clinically significant ECG abnormality at Screening (as deemed by decision of the
Investigator and the Sponsor's Medical Monitor). NOTE: The following may be considered
not clinically significant without consulting the Sponsor's Medical Monitor:
- Mild first degree A-V block (P-R interval <0.23 sec)
- Right or left axis deviation
- Incomplete right bundle branch block
- Isolated left anterior fascicular block (left anterior hemiblock) in younger
athletic subjects
- Early repolarization
- Tall T waves
- RSR in V1/V2 consistent with right ventricular conduction delay (with acceptable
QRS)
- Sinus rhythm or sinus bradycardia with sinus arrhythmia
- Minimal or moderate voltage criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).
13. QTcF interval >450 msec for males or >470 msec for females at screening, Day -1, or
Day 1 (pre-dose), or history of prolonged QT syndrome. For the triplicate ECGs taken
at screening and on Day -1, the average QTcF interval of the three ECG recordings will
be used to determine qualification.
14. Family history of long-QT syndrome or sudden death without a preceding diagnosis of a
condition that could be causative of sudden death (such as known coronary artery
disease, congestive heart failure, or terminal cancer).
