Eligibility

Recruits 32 No vulnerable population selected. Participants must be adults (≥18 years) and must provide signed informed consent as described in Appendix 1. There is no provision for assent (participants must be ≥18). The Investigator is responsible for assessment of participant capacity and review of medical/menstrual/sexual history to reduce inclusion of participants with early undetected pregnancy..

Pregnancy Exclusion
Female participants are eligible to participate if not pregnant or breastfeeding, and 1 of the following conditions applies: • Is of nonchildbearing potential as defined in Appendix 4, OR • Is of CBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1% per year), preferably with low user dependency, as described in Appendix 4 during the trial intervention period and for at least 12 weeks after thelast dose of trial intervention, and agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction during this period. The Investigator should evaluate the potential for contraceptive method failure (e.g., noncompliance, recently initiated) in relationship to the first dose of trial intervention. • A CBP participant must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (serum at screening, urine or serum at baseline) as required by local regulations) within 24 hours before the first dose of trial intervention, see Section 8.3.4.
Vulnerable Population
No vulnerable population selected. Participants must be adults (≥18 years) and must provide signed informed consent as described in Appendix 1.
