prophylactic, or preventive transfusion) or have received an RBC transfusion for any
reason within 60 days of signing the ICF or at any time during the Screening Period
4. Hospitalized for sickle cell crisis or other vaso-occlusive event within 30 days prior
to dosing (ie, a vaso-occlusive event cannot be within 30 days prior to dosing)
5. Screening laboratory test of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 4 × upper level of
normal (ULN)
6. Clinically significant bacterial, fungal, parasitic, or viral infection which requires
therapy, including acute bacterial infection requiring antibiotics
7. Known to be COVID-19 positive from within 3 weeks of screening through Day 1
8. Participants with active hepatitis A, B, or C or who are known to be human

9. Severe renal dysfunction (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 at
the Screening visit; calculated by the local laboratory to assess safety) or is on
chronic dialysis
10. History of malignancy within the past 2 years prior to treatment Day 1 requiring
chemotherapy and/or radiation (with the exception of local therapy for non-melanoma
skin malignancy)
11. History of unstable or deteriorating cardiac or pulmonary disease within 6 months

1. Unstable angina pectoris or myocardial infarction or elective coronary
intervention
2. Congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization
3. Uncontrolled clinically significant arrhythmias
4. Pulmonary hypertension
12. Criteria related to ECG parameters:
1. PR interval > 220 msec in any participant
2. QRS interval > 120 msec or QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula
(QTcF) > 480 msec (both genders) in participants without bundle branch block
3. QRS interval > 120 msec in participants with newly (within 3 months) emerged
bundle branch block
4. A participant with stable bundle branch block with or without stable cardiac
disease may be enrolled; QRS interval > 120 msec and QTcF interval > 480 msec are
acceptable in these participants.
13. Any condition affecting drug absorption, such as major surgery involving the stomach
or small intestine (prior cholecystectomy is acceptable)
14. Participated in another clinical trial of an investigational agent or medical device
within 30 days or 5 half-lives of date of informed consent, whichever is longer, or is
currently participating in another trial of an investigational agent or medical device
15. Inadequate venous access as determined by the Investigator/site staff
16. Medical, psychological, or behavioral conditions, which, in the opinion of the
Investigator, may preclude safe participation, confound study interpretation,
interfere with compliance, or preclude informed consent
