Key exclusion criteria
For Healthy Volunteers and Post-Herpetic Neuralgia Patients

1. Presence or history of carcinoma, hepatic, renal, neurological, pulmonary (except for childhood asthma), endocrine, hematologic, cardiovascular, or genitourinary disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may affect the evaluation of the IP or place the participant at undue risk (except for conditions that are stable on medications).
2. Presence of any underlying physical or psychiatric condition (except for conditions that are stable on medications) that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would undermine participant compliance to protocol requirements.
3. Presence or history of gastrointestinal disease (e.g., peptic ulcer, gastritis, gastric cramp, gastroesophageal reflex disease, Crohn's disease) or history of gastrointestinal surgery (except simple appendectomy or herniorrhaphy) that may affect assessment of safety and PK characteristics of the IP.
4. Presence or history of central nervous system disease that may affect assessment of safety and PK characteristics of the IP.

24. Other severe pain or the presence of other skin diseases or pain at the site of the rash at Screening or randomization unrelated to PHN, that may confound the assessment of PHN.
