14. Use of drugs with enzyme-inducing properties such as St John's Wort within 3 weeks prior to the first administration of IMP
15. Use of any prescribed or non-prescribed medication including antacids, analgesics (other than paracetamol/acetaminophen), herbal remedies, vitamins and minerals during the 2 weeks prior to the first administration of IMP or longer if the medication has a long half-life
16. Known or suspected history of alcohol abuse or excessive intake of alcohol as judged by the investigator
17. Involvement of any AstraZeneca or study site employee or their close relatives
18. Judgment by the investigator that the subject should not participate in the study if they have any ongoing or recent (i.e., during the screening period) minor medical complaints that may interfere with the interpretation of study data or are considered unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions and requirements
19. Vulnerable subjects, e.g., kept in detention, protected adults under guardianship, trusteeship, or committed to an institution by governmental or juridical order
