- {"criterion_text":"- Exclusion Criteria for the EP: 1.Any ongoing, clinically significant (as assessed by the investigator) TEAE (started after intake of IMP) or laboratory abnormality (including blood chemistry and urinalysis) that, upon discretion of the investigator, should prohibit further treatment with study medication in this trial(a). 2.Significant treatment non-compliance (defined as having taken <70% of study medication) or study non-compliance during the MP (as assessed by the investigator, in consultation with the medical monitor), and/or inability or unwillingness to follow instructions by study personnel. 3.Multiple significant protocol deviations during the MP that are assessed by the investigator, in consultation with the medical monitor, to negatively affect further patient cooperation in this study. 4.Use of experimental/investigational drug (with the exception of COVID-19 vaccines approved by emergency use authorization) and/or participation in another clinical trial of an investigational drug throughout the duration of the EP. 5.
