  • Subject is assessed as unsuitable for inclusion by the investigator, for instance, because considered not able to understand and comply with study requirements, or has a condition that would not allow safe participation in the study

In addition, the following trial-specific exclusion criteria apply:

  • Male subject with women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) partner who is unwilling to use male contraception (condom or sexual abstinence) from the first administration of trial medication until 30 days after last administration of trial medication
  • Subjects who, in the investigator's judgement, are perceived as having an increased risk of bleeding, e.g. history of haemorrhagic disorders, clinical relevant petechial bleeding, occult blood in faeces, haematuria in repeated urine tests, trauma or surgery within the last month planned surgery during trial participation, history of arteriovenous malformation or aneurysm, history of gastroduodenal ulcer disease or gastrointestinal haemorrhage, history of intracranial, intraocular, spinal, retroperitoneal, or atraumatic intraarticular bleeding, use of drugs that may interfere with haemostasis during trial conduct (e.g. acetylic salicylic acid or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)
  • Repeated platelet counts below 100 cells/nL at screening
  • Bleeding times (to monitor platelet function) above reference range at screening
  • Repeated absolute B cell (CD19+) counts below 40/μL at screening
  • Serum potassium below normal range at screening
  • A history or current clinical signs of acute pancreatitis
