20. Consumption of food or drink containing licorice, oranges, or grapefruit from 7 days prior to dosing with IMP.

21. Subjects who are not willing to abstain from the consumption of caffeine and methylxanthine (e.g., coffee, tea, cola, energy drinks, or chocolates) in the 48 hours before Day -1 until completion of the post-treatment assessments on Day 2.

22. Donation of 1 or more units of blood (=450 milliliters) in the 3 months prior to Screening, or plasma in the 7 days prior to Screening, or platelets in the 6 weeks prior to Screening, or intention to donate blood within 3 months after the last scheduled visit.

23. Heavy physical training, excessive exercise or heavy labor (e.g., long-distance running, weightlifting, or any physical activity to which the subject is not accustomed) from 3 days before the administration of the study drug.

24. Participation in any study* involving administration of an IMP within 8 weeks (or, if relevant, 5 half-lives, whichever is the longer) prior to the first dose. (*Disregarding any study Follow-up Periods).
