8. Female participants:
1. Must be of nonchildbearing potential, i.e., pre-pubertal\*, surgically sterilised (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy) at least 6 weeks before the screening, or postmenopausal (where postmenopausal is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause and a follicle -stimulating hormone \[FSH\] level consistent with postmenopausal status, per local laboratory guidelines), or
2. If of childbearing potential, must:
i.Have a negative result on a serum (beta human chorionic gonadotropin \[β-hCG\]) at screening and a negative urine β-hCG pregnancy test prior to study drug administration on Day 1 of both treatment periods.

\* Note: Female participants will be considered to be pre-pubertal (and of nonchildbearing potential) if they have not yet started menstruation. This should also be verified by the parent(s)/guardian(s). If a female participant reaches menarche during the study, then she is to be considered as a woman of childbearing potential from that time forwards, and contraceptive requirements will apply.

11. Participant has a diagnosis of significant liver disease or at screening ALT and/or AST \>2× or total bilirubin of \>1.5× of the age- and sex-specific upper limit of normal (ULN) according to the site laboratory and confirmed by repeated tests. Liver function tests can be repeated during screening and if normalised, participant may be eligible for randomisation. Note: Participants with Gilbert's syndrome are allowed to enrol if only total and/or indirect bilirubin are elevated above ULN while ALT, AST, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are within the normal laboratory ranges.

19. An individual who has a history of alcohol, drug, or chemical abuse within 12 months prior to study screening (positive tetrahydrocannabinol is allowed) Note: Abuse is defined according to local, regional and/or country specific guidance. Participants who are tested positive for illicit substances but have a prescription medication to manage their concomitant conditions such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or others are allowed to participate in the study.
20. An individual who has a medical, psychological or social condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with safe and proper completion of the trial.
21. An individual who is an 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. Note: Investigators should ensure that all study inclusion criteria and no study exclusion criteria have been met at screening. If a participant's clinical status changes (including any available laboratory results or receipt of additional medical records) after screening but before the first dose of study drug is given such that he or she no longer meets all eligibility criteria, then the participant should be excluded from participation in the study.
22. An individual who is considered failing to thrive or extremely obese may be excluded based on assessment by the PI or if participation in the study may place the participant at risk.
23. An individual who has been placed in an institution by official or court order.
