Patients with localized basal cell carcinoma, localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix may be included in the study if they have completed curative treatment at least 12 months prior to Screening. Patients with other malignant tumors may be included if they have completed curative treatment at least 5 years prior to the first dose of study drug. * The patient has a positive test result for hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg), antihepatitis C virus (HCV), a history of active tuberculosis, a positive test result for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or a known history of HIV infection at Screening. * The patient has poor peripheral venous access. * The patient has donated or lost ≥ 450 mL of blood (including plasmapheresis) or had a transfusion of any blood product within 90 days prior to the first dose of study drug. * The patient has an abnormal ECG at Screening or on Day -1. In the case of a corrected QT interval (Fridericia) (QTcF) \> 450 ms or \> 470 ms (patients with bundle branch block) or PR interval outside the range of 115 to 220 ms, assessment may be repeated once for eligibility determination at Screening and/or on Day -1. * The patient has a supine systolic blood pressure \< 90 or \> 144 mm Hg or a supine diastolic blood pressure \< 50 or \> 94 mm Hg at Screening or on Day -1. If out of range, assessment may be repeated once for eligibility determination at Screening and/or on Day -1. * The patient has a resting heart rate \< 40 or \> 90 bpm (not on ECGs) and considered clinically significant by the Investigator at Screening or on Day 1.

Oral antibiotics are permitted. Bleach baths are not permitted. * The patient has a risk of suicide on the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PH 2) or in the judgment of the Investigator, or the patient has made a suicide attempt or has a history of deliberate self-harm in the 6 months prior to Screening. * The patient is compulsorily detained for a medical or psychiatric illness. * The patient or their immediate family are personnel at the clinical site. * The patient is unable to comply with restrictions and prohibited activities/treatments as listed in the study protocol.
