   5. Any major illness/condition or evidence of an unstable clinical condition (eg, renal, hepatic, hematologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, pulmonary, psychiatric, neurologic, immunologic, or local active infection/infectious illness) that, in the investigator's judgment or after consultation with the Medical Monitor or designee, will substantially increase the risk to the participant if he or she participates in the study

   6.

   7. Has uncontrolled arterial hypertension characterized by a systolic blood pressure (BP) >160 mm Hg or diastolic BP >100 mm Hg.

      Note: Determined by 2 consecutive elevated readings. If an initial BP reading exceeds this limit, the BP may be repeated once after the participant has rested sitting for ≥10 minutes. If the repeat value is less than the criterion limits, the second value may be accepted.

   8. Class III or IV congestive heart failure by New York Heart Association Criteria

   9.

6. Subjects with a borderline serum pregnancy test at Screening must have absence of clinical suspicion of pregnancy or other pathological causes of borderline results and a serum pregnancy test ≥ 3 days later to document continued lack of a positive result (unless inclusion of subjects with a borderline pregnancy test may be prohibited by local requirements).

7. Subjects with a urine pregnancy test at Baseline that is borderline or ambiguous must have a serum pregnancy test performed. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.

8. Female subjects of childbearing potential who are not able and/or willing to practice at least 1 protocol-specified method of birth control that is highly effective from Study Day 1 through at least 30 days after the last dose of study drug (local practices may require an additional method of contraception). Female subjects of non-childbearing potential do not need to use birth control.
