• Previously received any investigational drug within 30 days prior to trial entry.
• Alcohol and/or any other drug abuse in the opinion of the investigator.
• Participants who have any medical (including known history of major hematological, renal, cardiovascular, or hepatic abnormalities) or psychological condition or social circumstances that would impair their ability to participate reliably in the trial, or those who may increase the risk to themselves or others by participating.
