     1. The subject or their partner has undergone surgical sterilization
     2. The subject is postmenopausal, defined as 12 consecutive months with no menses without an alternative medical cause and has a documented plasma follicle-stimulating hormone level \>40 IU/mL

3. Subject has received treatment in another clinical study of an investigational drug (or medical device) within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before the first dose of study drug.
4. Subject has a history of relevant drug and/or food allergies (ie, allergy to TPOXX or excipients, or any significant food allergy that could preclude a standard diet in the study site).
5. Subject has any condition possibly affecting drug absorption (eg, previous surgery on the gastrointestinal tract, including removal of parts of the stomach, bowel, liver, gallbladder, or pancreas, with the exception of appendectomy).
6. Subject has evidence or history of clinically significant allergic (except for untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies at time of the first dose of study drug), hematological, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, or neurological disease. Exceptions to these criteria (eg, stable, mild joint disease unassociated with collagen vascular disease) may be made following discussions with the medical monitor.
7. Subject has a history of cardiac disease, symptomatic or asymptomatic arrhythmias, syncopal episodes, or risk factors for torsades de pointes (eg, heart failure, hypokalemia).
8. Subject has a family history of sudden cardiac death not clearly due to acute myocardial infarction.
9. Subject has a seizure disorder or history of seizures (does not include childhood febrile seizures) or a past history that increases seizure risks such as significant head injury that caused loss of consciousness or other changes in the subject's daily function, concussion, stroke, central nervous system infection or disease, or alcohol or drug abuse or family history of idiopathic seizures.
10. Subject has a history of a peptic ulcer or significant gastrointestinal bleeding.
11. Subject has a bleeding disorder diagnosed by a doctor (eg, factor deficiency, coagulopathy, or platelet disorder requiring special precautions) or significant bruising or bleeding difficulties with blood draws.
12. Subject has a malignancy that is active, or treated malignancy for which there is not reasonable assurance of sustained cure, or malignancy that is likely to recur during the period of the study (subject should be in complete remission for at least 5 years).
13. Subject has neutropenia or other blood dyscrasia determined to be clinically significant by the investigator.
14. Subject has used any of the following prohibited medications from within 7 days (or 5 half lives, whichever is longer) before the first dose of study drug: antidiabetic medication; anticoagulants; anticonvulsants; substrates of the breast cancer resistance protein transporter including methotrexate, mitoxantrone, imatinib, irinotecan, lapatinib, rosuvastatin, sulfasalazine, and topotecan; substrates of CYP2C8 including repaglinide, paclitaxel, Montelukast, pioglitazone, rosiglitazone; and substrates of CYP2C19 including S-mephenytoin, clobazam, diazepam, rabeprazole, voriconazole, lansoprazole, and omeprazole. Medications not listed here that are known (or thought) to be CYP3A4 substrates may be allowed at the investigator's discretion, after consultation with the medical monitor, if administration poses little to no risk to the subject.
15. Subject has a history of drug or alcohol abuse or dependency within the last year before screening.
16. Subject has a current or recent (\<30 days before screening) history of clinically significant bacterial, fungal, or mycobacterial infection.

    * Hemoglobin A1c ≥7.0%
    * Cholesterol ≥300 mg/dL and low density lipoprotein ≥190 mg/dL.
29. Subject has a blood pressure considered to be clinically significant by the investigator. Blood pressure may be retested twice in the sitting position at 5 minute intervals.
