Eligibility

Recruits 46 The trial marks vulnerable population selection as true. Exclusion criterion explicitly excludes subjects deprived of liberty by a judicial or administrative decision, subjects admitted to a social institution or who are under a measure of legal protection, subjects hospitalized without consent or who are in an emergency situation. Written informed consent must be provided by the subject before any study procedures. Subject information and informed consent documents (PICDs and ICFs) and translations/patient-facing documents are provided in multiple languages; no paediatric consent/assent procedures are specified (study is restricted to adults ≥18)..

Pregnancy Exclusion
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant or breastfeed, oocyte or sperm donation and cryopreservation during the study and 7 months after EOT. For the purposes of detecting pregnancy occurrence after EOT, the Sponsor will provide urine pregnancy test to subjects to perform at home at monthly intervals after the end of the study last follow-up visit for up until 7 months post last administration of the study drug. The subjects will be advised to report to the sponsor any pregnancies occurring in that time.

Inclusion criteria

As highly effective contraceptive measures are considered: -\tcombined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation : \toral \tintravaginal \ttransdermal -\tprogestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: \toral \tinjectable \timplantable -\tintrauterine device -\tintrauterine hormone-releasing system -\tbilateral tubal occlusion -\tvasectomised partner** -\tsexual abstinence*** •\tMan who agrees to use double barrier contraception (condoms - or diaphragm/ cervical cap used by their female partner- plus spermicidal agent: foam, gel, film etc.) to avoid fathering a child from Screening until 100 days after EOT, or is surgically sterilized. *A woman is considered of childbearing potential i.e. fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a post-menopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. However in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient. **Vasectomised partner is a highly effective birth control method provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the WOCBP trial participant and that the vasectomised partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success. ***Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatments. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject.\n- Capable of understanding and complying with protocol requirements\n- Written informed consent given by the subject before the initiation of any study procedures Note: A witnessed consent is not all"}
