Participants aged ≥6 years with a known CD4 count of <200 cells/mm3 and participants aged <6 years with a known CD4 count of <500 cells/mm3 are to not be enrolled.

• The participant has any of the following medical condition that requires medication that may be impacted by inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, such as:

  • Poorly controlled asthma or obstructive pulmonary disease at baseline and, in the opinion of the investigator, not stable on current therapy.
  • Active peptic ulcer disease
  • Juvenile Parkinson disease
  • Juvenile Myasthenia gravis

• The participant has any surgical or medical condition (active or chronic) that may interfere with drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the study intervention (e.g., ileostomy or malabsorption syndrome).

• The participant plans to use any of the prohibited medications or nondrug therapies from the Baseline Visit through Follow-up Visit at 7 ±3 days after the single dose of study intervention.

• The participant has received a prohibited medication within 14 days or 5 half-lives prior to gepotidacin administration, whichever is longer.

• The participant has been previously enrolled in this study or has previously been treated with gepotidacin.

• The participant has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigational product within 30 days or 5 half-lives prior to gepotidacin administration, whichever is longer.

• The participant, in the judgment of the investigator, would not be able or willing to comply with the protocol or complete study follow-up.

• If the child is being breastfed:

  • There is suspicion of current alcohol or substance misuse/abuse in breastfeeding mother.
  • The breastfeeding mother is taking any medication or any substances containing any of the medications included in the prohibited medication list with known or unknown lactation excretion.

• The participant has severe hepatic organ dysfunction.

• The participant has an ALT value >2 × ULN.

• The participant has a total bilirubin >1.5xULN; Participants with Gilbert's syndrome can be included with total bilirubin >1.5xULN as long as direct bilirubin is ≤1.5xULN.

• Cirrhosis or current unstable liver or biliary disease per investigator assessment defined by the presence of ascites, encephalopathy, coagulopathy, hypoalbuminemia, esophageal or gastric varices, persistent jaundice.

• The participant has congenital long QT syndrome or known prolongation of the QTc interval.

• The participant has uncompensated heart failure.

• The participant has severe left ventricular hypertrophy.

• The participant has a family history of QT prolongation or sudden death or history of sudden infant death in a sibling.

• The participant has a recent history of vasovagal syncope or episodes of symptomatic bradycardia or brady arrhythmia within the last 12 months.

• The participant is taking QT-prolonging drugs or drugs known to increase the risk of TdP per the ww.crediblemeds.org. "Known Risk of TdP" category at the time of the Baseline Visit, which cannot be safely discontinued from the Baseline Visit (Day 1) through 7 (+3) days after the single dose of study intervention; or the participant is taking a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor.

• The participant has a mean triplicate QTc >450 msec or a mean triplicate QTc >480 msec for participants with complete bundle branch block.

• The participant has a documented or recent history of uncorrected hypokalemia within the past 3 months.
