* History of malignancy (or current malignancy) of any organ system (other than localized carcinoma of the skin), treated or untreated, within the past 5 years, regardless of whether there is evidence of local recurrence or metastases.
* Creatinine \>=2 x ULN.
* Significant illness within two weeks prior to screening.
* Positive HIV antibody test at screening, or history of HIV infection based on past positive test result, clinical record or current treatment.
* Severe vomiting, defined as more than 3 times in the 24 hours before screening or inability to tolerate oral treatment.
* Severe diarrhoea defined as more than 3 watery stools per day in the 24 hours before screening.
* Known history or evidence (based on clinical examination or investigation) of uncontrolled active cardiovascular disease (including hypertension), respiratory disease (including active tuberculosis even if treatment is ongoing), liver cirrhosis or liver disease (based on prior investigation, clinical signs and/or interpretation of liver enzymes), other active hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, immunological, neurological, endocrine, infectious, or psychiatric disease.
* Anaemia (Hb \<=8.0g/dl) or known clinically important chronic underlying haematological disease such as sickle cell disease at screening.
* Significant chronic medical conditions which in the opinion of the investigator preclude enrolment into the study.

* History of hypersensitivity to the study drug or drug formulation and capsule (Hypromellose (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose)) constituents.
* History of drug or alcohol abuse within 3 months prior to dosing, or clinical evidence of such abuse.
* Participants who in the opinion of the Investigator are unsuitable for participation in the study or cannot be enrolled due to logistical reasons.
* ALT \>2.0 x ULN.
* Total bilirubin \>1.5 x ULN; Participants with Gilbert's syndrome can be included with total bilirubin \>1.5xULN as long as direct bilirubin is \<=1.5xULN.
* Current or chronic history of liver disease or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones).
* Presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) at screening or within 3 months prior to first dose of study intervention.
* Positive hepatitis C antibody test result at screening or within 3 months prior to first dose of study intervention.
Note: Participants with positive hepatitis C antibody due to prior resolved disease can be enrolled, only if a confirmatory negative Hepatitis C RNA test is obtained.
• Positive hepatitis C RNA test result at screening or within 3 months prior to first dose of study intervention.
Note: Test is optional and participants with negative Hepatitis C antibody test are not required to also undergo Hepatitis C RNA testing.
