             spermicide, oral contraceptives, or abstinence) from the signing of informed consent
             until 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug or be surgically sterile (ie,
             hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or postmenopausal
             (defined as amenorrhea for 12 consecutive months and documented plasma
             follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] level >40 IU/mL).

          5. Female participants must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and Check-in.

          7. The participant is able to provide written informed consent.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          1. The participant has a history of any clinically significant neurological,
             cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, metabolic, gastrointestinal, urological,
             hematological, or endocrine disease or other abnormality that may affect the ability
             of the subject to participate in the study.

          2. The participant has a positive test result for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19),
             hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C virus antibody, or human immunodeficiency
             virus type 1 or 2 antibodies at Screening.

          3. The participant has alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST)
             >2 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) or total bilirubin >1.5 × ULN (with the exception
             of Gilbert's syndrome) at Screening or Check-in.

          4. The participant has serum creatinine >1.2 mg/dL or blood urea nitrogen >20 mg/dL at
             Screening or Check-in.

          5. The participant has any acute laboratory abnormality at Screening that precludes
             participation in the study, in the opinion of the investigator.

          6. The participant has a current or chronic history of liver disease or known hepatic or
             biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome and asymptomatic

         12. The subject has a positive test result for drugs of abuse, alcohol, or cotinine
