6. Use of an investigational device or investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half lives (whichever is the longer) preceding the first dose of study medication
7. Patients considered unsuitable to participate by the research team (e.g., due to medical reasons, laboratory abnormalities, or subject’s unwillingness to comply with all study related procedures)
