* Received an investigational intervention (including investigational vaccines) or used an invasive investigational medical device within 4 weeks before the planned first dose of study intervention or is currently enrolled in an investigational study
* Any condition for which, in the opinion of the investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the participant (eg \[for example\], compromise the wellbeing) or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments
* Employee of the investigator or study site, with direct involvement in the proposed study or other studies under the direction of that investigator or study site, as well as family members of the employees or the investigator
