Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:

- Participant has normal renal function (creatinine clearance ≥90 mL/min) as evidenced by normal estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) measured by the CKD-EPI equation.
- Participant agrees to the following during the treatment periods and for at least 7 days after the last dose of study treatment:
- Refrain from donating or preserving sperm; PLUS either
- Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent.
- Must agree to use a male condom when having sexual intercourse with women of childbearing potential (WOCBP). An additional form of contraception should also be used by the female partner if she is of childbearing potential.
- Has sufficiently good venous access in at least one arm to confidently enable serial blood sampling.
You may not qualify if:
- Participant has a history or presence of oncologic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, hematologic, gastrointestinal, ocular, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, musculoskeletal, neurologic, psychiatric, or other disease or condition or laboratory test abnormality that in the investigator's judgment poses a significant risk to the safety of the participant or the achievement of study objectives.
- Participant has a history or presence of any condition possibly affecting drug absorption (e.g., gastrectomy).
- Participant has a medical history or abnormal findings at Screening or Day -1 that the investigator judges may put at risk achieving the objectives of the study or protecting the safety of the participant.
- Participant has an acute illness with symptom or treatment that has started or persisted within 14 days prior to study treatment administration unless mild in severity and enrollment is approved by both investigator and sponsor's medical monitor.
- Participant has tested positive for active Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.
- Participant has tested positive for hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or has a clinically significant infection.
- Participant has blood pressure (BP) that is ≥140 mmHg systolic or 90 mmHg diastolic following at least 5 minutes of rest in the supine position at Screening and Day -1. Additionally, BP that is \<90 mmHg systolic or 45 mmHg diastolic following at least 5 minutes of rest at Screening and Day -1.
- Participant has heart rate (HR) that is \<40 bpm or \>100 bpm after resting in a supine position for 5 minutes at Screening and Day -1.

- Participant has family history of long QT syndrome or of unexplained sudden death or drowning in a first-degree relative under age 50.
- Participant has an ECG waveform abnormality that interferes with QT/QTc interval measurement or interpretation. A participant with mild sinus arrhythmia or sparse isolated premature ventricular contractions (PVC) is eligible at the investigator's discretion.
- Participant has a positive alcohol breath test, positive cotinine test, or other positive drug screen test at Screening or Day -1.
- Participant has a positive nasopharyngeal rapid antigen test for SARS-CoV-2 on Day -1 or has had any known close contact with a person who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 or with a COVID-19 patient within 2 weeks prior to admission.
- Participant has received any vaccine within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment administration on Day 1.
- Participant has received any CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers within 21 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to Day 1.
