double-barrier contraception or is using an insertable, injectable, transdermal,
or combination oral contraceptive for greater than 2 months prior to screening
visits and commits to the use of an acceptable form of highly effective birth
control for the duration of the study and for 30 days after the last dose study
drug administration.

- BMI within the range of 19-30 kg/m2 (inclusive).

- Deemed able to read and understand English in order to communicate with research staff
and complete protocol required questionnaires and forms.
Minimum age

Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria
- Has a laboratory value at the Screening Visit that is outside the normal range, unless
it is judged by the Investigator as not clinically significant after appropriate
evaluation. One repeat of initial laboratory testing is allowed.

- AST, ALT and ALP tests in excess of 1.5 times the upper limit of normal.

- Any gastrointestinal condition that could affect drug absorption.

- History of any clinically significant condition involving the bladder or urinary
tract, including frequent urinary tract infections (e.g. > 2 per year), or current
symptoms of bladder irritation such as frequent or urgent need to urinate or burning
with urination.

- History (within the last six months) of or current clinically significant psychiatric
disorder including anxiety, psychosis or depression.

- Current inflammatory or ulcerative disease of the oral cavity that could impair the
absorption of sublingual medication.

- History of severe allergic or anaphylactic drug-related reactions.

- History of hypersensitivity to ketamine or any of the excipients of Wafermine™.

- Intake of any prescribed or Over-The-Counter (OTC)/non-prescribed drugs, vitamins,
supplements or herbal medicines, within 2 weeks of administration of investigational
product (or longer if the medication has a half-life long enough to potentially expose
the healthy participant to any significant systemic exposure). Exception: Hormone
replacement therapy and oral contraceptives in female participants is allowed.

- Use of drugs with enzyme-inducing properties, such as rifampicin and St John's Wort,
within 3 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is greater, prior to treatment period 1 and
throughout the study, or any drug known to be a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4 within 5
half-lives of treatment period 1 and throughout the study.

- Participation in another clinical trial of an investigational agent within 30 days of
screening.

- Positive serology for hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis B or human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV).

- Clinically significant, as determined by the Investigator, abnormal ECG (12-lead) or
vital signs at the screening visit or pre-dose on any treatment day.

- Known or suspected drug (including analgesic drugs or tranquilizers) or alcohol abuse
or dependence, as defined by DSM-IV, and not in full remission, as judged by the
Investigator, or history of alcohol abuse or excessive intake of alcohol, defined as
regular weekly intake of >15 units for men and >10 units for women. (1 unit = 25 mL
spirits, 125 mL wine, 250 mL beer or lager.)

- Positive results on the urine drug screen or breath alcohol test at screening and/or
pre-dose. A positive result on the urinary drug screen at screening is allowed at the
discretion of the Investigator provided the result can be reliably explained by recent
medication and/or dietary history.

- Significant history of illicit drug use (as determined by the Investigator).

- Any alcohol use within 24 hours prior to each inpatient treatment period.

- Unwillingness or inability to comply with the requirements of this protocol, including
the presence of any condition (physical, mental, or social) that is likely to affect
the participant returning for subsequent visits on schedule.

- Blood donation (1 unit or more) within 1 month prior to the screening visit and until
the end of study participation.

- Current or previous tobacco user (within 12 months prior to screening).

- Participants who routinely consume more than four standard caffeinated beverages per
24-hour period.
