You may not qualify if…

• Participants have any medical or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could jeopardize or would compromise the participants' ability to participate in this study.
• Participants have a history or presence of cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrinological, hematological, cerebrovascular, neurological, or other major disorders capable of significantly altering the absorption, metabolism, or elimination of drugs; constituting a risk when taking the study intervention; or interfering with the interpretation of data in the opinion of the investigator.
• History of hypertension, hypertensive crisis, hypertensive encephalopathy, or orthostatic hypotension, unless the underlying cause was unequivocally identified and has been removed.
• History of ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, angina, myocardial infarction, any systemic embolism, any clinically significant arrythmia, or congestive heart failure
• Participants have the following liver enzyme test results during the Screening Period or Day -1:
• aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), bilirubin, or alkaline phosphatase (ALP) >1.0x upper limit of normal (ULN), (isolated bilirubin <1.5xULN is acceptable if fractionated and direct bilirubin <35%).
• Tests that result in ALT, AST, bilirubin, or ALP up to 25% above the exclusion limit may be repeated once for confirmation.
• Participants have current or chronic history of liver disease or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of asymptomatic gallstones).
• Participants have 12-lead ECG with changes considered to be clinically significant (eg, QTcF >450 ms in males and >470 ms in females based on average of triplicate ECGs, left bundle branch block, evidence of myocardial ischemia, or second-degree Type II atrioventricular block) during the Screening Period or Day -1.
• Participants have a history of risk factors for torsades de pointes (eg, heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of long QT syndrome).
