Vitamin K not taken for therapeutic purposes is acceptable, e.g. as part of a multivitamin supplement. 5. The subject has received any prescribed oral, systemic or topical medication, including any vaccinations, within 14 days before Day 1 (with the exception of contraceptives), unless in the opinion of the Principal Investigator and the Medical Monitor the medication will not interfere with the study procedures or compromise safety. 6.

The subject has been administered an investigational drug (new chemical or biological entity) within 4 weeks prior to Day 1 for small molecules or within 12 weeks or 5 halflives, whichever is longer, prior to Day 1 for all other types of investigational drug. 8. The subject has donated ≥500 mL blood, plasma or platelets in the 12 weeks prior to Screening or the subject has donated any blood amount within 30 days prior to Screening. 9. Because of an increased risk of thrombosis, subjects with known diabetes mellitus or a fasted glucose ≥7.0 mmol/l at Screening. 10. The subject has any bleeding diathesis, any increased risk of bleeding or, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, is at increased risk of the consequences of bleeding including but not limited to the following: 1. gastro-intestinal ulceration within the last 12 weeks; 2. known or suspected oesophageal varices; 3. vascular aneurysms or known arteriovenous malformations; 4. history of known major intraspinal or intracerebral vascular abnormalities; 5. history of brain, spinal or ophthalmic surgery within the last year; 6. any intracranial hemorrhage; 7. uncontrolled severe hypertension. 11.

The subject has a significant history of drug allergy, as determined by the Principal Investigator. 13. The subject has, at Screening or on Day -1, a supine blood pressure or supine pulse rate ≥ 150/95 mmHg and \>100 beats per minute (bpm), respectively, or \< 90/40 mmHg and 40 bpm, respectively, confirmed by a repeat assessment. 14.

The subject has a positive Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), Hepatitis C antibody, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody test result at Screening. 20. The subject has an abnormality in the 12-lead ECG at Screening or on Day -1 that, in the judgement of the Principal Investigator may, during the main study, interfere with the interpretation of 12-lead ECG results, including average QTcF interval \>450 msec for men or \>470 msec for women, 2nd or 3rd degree atrioventricular block, complete left bundle branch block, complete right bundle branch block or Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, defined as average PR\<110 msec, confirmed by a triplicate repeat ECG. 21. The subject has any other condition that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, would compromise the safety of the subject or the subject's ability to comply with the protocol and complete the study. 22. The subject has renal insufficiency (serum creatinine level \> 1.25 times upper limit of normal (ULN) or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of \<60 mL/minute\*1.73m2 at Screening or on Day -1. One re-test is allowed). 23. The subject has active liver disease (alanine transaminase \[ALT\]/ aspartate transaminase \[AST\] \>1.5x ULN, or total bilirubin \> 1.5x ULN at Screening or on Day -1.
