Immunization with a Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine in the 14 days prior to the first study drug administration. 10. Scheduled immunization with a COVID-19 vaccine during the study that, in the opinion of an investigator, could potentially interfere with subject participation, subject safety, study results, or any other reason. 11. Any clinically significant illness (including COVID-19 infections) in the 28 days prior to the first study drug administration. 12.

Intake of an investigational product (IP) in the 28 days prior to the first study drug administration. 21. Donation of plasma in the 7 days prior to the first study drug administration. 22.
