        Inclusion Criteria:

             scan) within 12 months before screening (subjects with an abnormal CXR within 12
             months, from a temporary process, will be allowed to participate if a repeat CXR is
             normal).

          -  Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) >=80% of the predicted normal value (at
             screening), or documented evidence of FEV1 >=80% within the 6 months before screening.

          -  Score of >=40 millimeters (mm) on the Cough Severity Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at
             Screening.

          -  Body weight >=50 kilogram (kg) and body mass index (BMI) within the range 18 to 40
             kilogram per meter square (kg/m^2) (inclusive) at screening.

             of study treatment, and refrain from donating sperm during this period.

             renal, endocrine, neurologic, hematologic or other condition that is uncontrolled on
             permitted therapies or that would, in the opinion of the investigator or the medical
             monitor, make the subject unsuitable for inclusion in this study.

          -  History or current evidence of chronic productive cough.

          -  History of acute coronary syndromes (including unstable angina), coronary angioplasty,
             or stenting within the 6 months before screening.

             Suicidality Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) in the last 6 months (assessed at
             screening).

          -  Alanine transferase (ALT) > twice the upper limit of normal (ULN) at screening.

          -  Bilirubin >1.5 times ULN (isolated bilirubin >1.5 times ULN is acceptable if bilirubin
             is fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%) at screening.

             (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones).

             dosing day.

          -  Current enrollment or past participation within the 3 months before screening in any
             clinical study involving an investigational study treatment or any other type of
             medical research.

          -  Presence of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) at screening.

          -  Positive Hepatitis C antibody test result at screening or within 3 months prior to
             starting study treatment.

          -  Positive Hepatitis C ribonucleic acid (RNA) test result at screening or within 3
             months prior to first dose of study treatment.

          -  Cardiac troponin at screening > ULN for the assay.

          -  History of alcohol abuse within 6 months of screening, in the opinion of the
