Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.

20. Administration of systemic immunoglobulins and/or any blood products or plasma derivatives during the period starting 3 months before the administration of the first dose of study interventions or planned administration during the study period.

21. Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the participant has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non investigational intervention.

22. History of /current chronic alcohol consumption and/or drug abuse.
