Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- A subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if all of the following
criteria are met:

1. Voluntarily signed written informed consent;

2. Ability to comprehend the purpose of the study; ability to co-operate with the
investigator and comply with all study requirements;

3. Adult females aged between 18 and 55 years (inclusive);

4. Body weight between 50 and 100 kg (inclusive) and body mass index (BMI) within
18~32 kg/m2 (inclusive).

5. In good health as determined by screening tests. Good health is defined as having
no clinically relevant abnormalities identified by a detailed medical history,
full physical examination (including measurement of blood pressure and pulse
rate), 12-lead ECG, and clinical laboratory tests:

- Vital signs (measured after resting for 5 minutes seated position) within
normal range, or outside the normal range and not considered clinically
significant by the Investigator;

- Standard 12-lead ECG parameters (recorded after resting for 5 minutes in
supine position) in the following ranges; QTc (Fridericia algorithm
recommended) =470 ms, and normal ECG tracing, or abnormal ECG tracing not
considered clinically relevant by the Investigator;

- Laboratory parameters demonstrating no clinically significant abnormalities,
as determined by the Investigator. A total bilirubin outside the normal
range may be acceptable if total bilirubin does not exceed 1.5 × ULN
conjugated bilirubin (with the exception of a participant with documented
Gilbert syndrome).

6. Self-report regular menstrual cycle (21-35 days), and planned to avoid
menstruation from the first administration until 7 days after the last
administration;

7. Negative human papilloma virus (HPV) test result (at screening or negative HPV
test result performed in study site within 2 months prior to screening;

8. History of sexual life, including vaginal intercourse;

9. Be willing to use vaginal suppositories;

10. Currently in a mutually monogamous sexual relationship or no sexual activity;

11. Sexual abstinence from 72 hours prior to the first drug administration until 7
days after the last administration;

12. Agreement to avoid the use of any other intravaginal products (i.e.,
contraceptive creams, gels, foams, sponges, lubricants, irrigation solutions,
etc.) from screening until 7 days after the last administration;

13. Subjects in a intercourse relationship must agree to use highly effective methods
of contraception (as specified in Section 4.6.3) from informed consent obtained
until 3 months after the last administration, and pregnancy test results must be
negative at screening.

core antibody (HBcAb), hepatitis C virus antibody (HCVAb), HIV antibody (HIVAb),
treponema pallidum antibody (TP-Ab) at screening;

8. History of clinically severe relevant cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, pulmonary,
gastrointestinal, endocrine, or neurological diseases that, in the investigator's
opinion, may interfere with the aim of the study or affect the subject's safety;

9. Uncontrolled or acute illness that may complicate the study evaluation in the
investigator's opinion;

10. History of hysterectomy;

11. Pelvic surgery within 90 days prior to screening;

12. Cervical cryotherapy or cervical laser treatment within 90 days prior to
screening;

13. Intrauterine device insertion or removal within 90 days prior to screening;

14. Any antibiotic or antifungal therapy (intravaginal or systemic) within 30 days
prior to screening;

15. Immunosuppressive therapy within 60 days prior to screening;

16. Ascertained or presumptive hypersensitivity (including allergies) to any
ingredient of the investigational medicinal product (IMP); history of other
significant anaphylaxis to drugs or allergic reactions in general;

17. Pregnant or lactating women, or women within 60 days of the last pregnancy;

18. Subjects who consume or are unable to abstain from products containing
caffeine/xanthine within 24 hours before a visit or admission;

19. History of drug or alcohol abuse within 1year prior to screening, or a positive
result of drug abuse or alcohol breath test at screening or check-in;

20. Previously dosed with an investigational drug within 3 months prior to Day 1 or
still participating in another trial at the time of screening;

21. Any vaccination from the 28 days prior to administration of the first dose until
28 days after the last dose;

22. Those considered by the investigator as inappropriate to participate in the
study.
