Exclusion Criteria:

Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:

Medical Conditions

1. As judged by the investigator, active gastrointestinal disease or other condition that will interfere significantly with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of oral therapy (eg, ulcerative disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea Grade ≥2, malabsorption syndrome or previous significant bowel resection).

• Unstable angina pectoris

• Congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] ≥Grade 2)

• Stroke or transient ischemic attack

• Uncontrolled hypertension (BP ≥150/95 mmHg despite medical therapy).

• Mean resting correct QT interval (QTcF) >470 msec for women and >450 msec for men at Screening, obtained from 3 ECGs using the screening clinic ECG machine derived QTcF value.

• Any factors that may increase the risk of QTcF prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events such as heart failure, electrolyte abnormalities (including: Serum/plasma potassium < LLN; Serum/plasma magnesium < LLN; Serum/plasma calcium < LLN), congenital or familial long QT syndrome, family history of unexplained sudden death under 40 years of age in first-degree relatives or any concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval and cause Torsade de Pointes.
