Current enrollment or past participation in another investigational study in which an investigational intervention was administered within the last 30 days, 5 half-lives or twice the duration of the biological effect of the investigational product before signing of consent (OR screening) any other clinical study.

20. Participation in the study would result in loss of blood in excess of 500 mL over a 56-day period.

21. Current enrollment or past participation in this clinical study, with the exception of participants who previously completed the Oral Lead In (OLI) but for operational or logistic reasons did not progress to CRU admission and receipt of injectable suspension for injection (SFI) or powder for suspension for injection (PFS) study medication or placebo, or prior participation in study 218803.
