- Number of participants with treatment-related and other adverse events as assessed by the Division of Microbiology and Infectious Disease (DMID) Toxicity Table [ Time Frame: Day 1 - Day 4 Post Dose ]Safety assessments will include physical and detailed neurological examinations (including assessments of mental status, cranial nerves, motor system, sensory system, reflexes, coordination and gait), vital signs including heart rate and respiratory rate, ECGs, cardiac monitor (Holter monitoring starting 24 hours prior to dose and continuing for 48 hours post dose), collection of all AEs (including treatment- related AEs and SAEs) and clinical laboratory tests (including hematology, serum chemistry, coagulation, and urinalysis prior to dosing and at protocol defined time points up to 72 hours post dose). Subjects will be called 11 days post dose to query for AEs.
- Noncompartmental pharmacokinetic parameters of TBI-223 and its metabolite M2 after single doses of TBI-223 using AUClast [ Time Frame: Day 1 - Day 2 ]AUClast will be calculated from plasma concentrations of TBI-223 and M2.
