- Adult males/females aged 18 to 55 years inclusive and between 19 and 30 kg/m2 body
mass index (BMI), inclusive at screening.

- Subjects who are healthy as determined by prestudy medical history, physical
examination and 12-lead ECG.

- Subjects of childbearing potential must practice effective contraception during the
study and be willing and able to continue contraception for 1 month (females) or 3
months (males) after their last dose of study treatment.

>450 ms before study treatment administration) at screening, admission or pre-dose on
Day 1.

- Any clinically important abnormalities in resting ECG that may interfere with the
interpretation of QTc interval changes at screening, admission or pre-dose on Day 1.

- Prior exposure to dexpramipexole.

- Treatment with pramipexole or any dopamine agonist within 1 year.

- Treatment with another investigational drug or approved therapy for investigational
use within 30 days, or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer), or in follow up for any
other drug, biologic, or device study.

- Currently active infection or serious infection (e.g., pneumonia, septicemia) within
