7. Participants who have taken any other investigational product, participated in any other clinical trial, or participated in other medical research activities within 30 days or 5 half-lives whichever is longer prior to first dose and are unsuitable for participating in this study as judged by the PI or delegate.
8. Ascertained or presumptive hypersensitivity (including allergies) to any ingredient of the IP; history of other significant allergies or anaphylaxis, as determined by the PI or delegate.
9. Participants who have lost or donated more than 400 mL of blood (excluding menstrual blood loss in females) within 3 months prior to first dose, or plan to donate blood during the study or within 1 month after the end of the study.
10. Participants who drink excessive tea, coffee or caffeinated beverages (over 8 cups per day on average, 250 mL per cup) within 6 months prior to Screening, or those who cannot abstain from them on Day -1 and during confinement study in the CRU.

14. Participants with clinically significant abnormal 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) results as judged by the PI or delegate or with a corrected QTc (formula: QTcF = QT/RR1/3) interval ≤ 350 msec or greater than 450 msec in males and 470 msec in females.
15. Participants with positive test results for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV Ab), treponema pallidum antibody (Syphilis TP Ab) or human immunodeficiency virus antibody (HIV Ab) at Screening.
16. Participants with positive result for quantiFERON gold at Screening.
