Eligibility
Recruits 10 Adults only (At least 18 years of age). isVulnerablePopulationSelected: false. Consent: "Voluntary written informed consent (ICF) of the participant or their legally authorized representative obtained prior to any screening procedures." ICF documents available in Dutch (NL) and French (FR) as per published ICF documents..
- Pregnancy Exclusion
- A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: a. Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP). Or b. Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1% per year), from the Screening Visit through at least 120 days after the last dose of study treatment and agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction during this period.
