• History of or known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs, excipients or to drugs of similar chemical or pharmacological classes.
• Diagnosis of long QT syndrome or QTc (Fridericia preferred, but Bazett acceptable) ≥ 450 msec for males and ≥ 470 msec for females at screening.
• History of malignancy or neoplastic disease of any organ system (except for localized basal cell skin carcinoma), treated or untreated, within the past 5 years prior to screening, regardless of whether there is evidence of local recurrence or metastases.

• Any evidence of clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, hematological, endocrinological, metabolic, autoimmune, neurological, psychiatric or other diseases at screening.
• Participant has used any medication (including over-the-counter medications) within 2 weeks before first scheduled study drug administration or within < 10 times the elimination halflife of the respective drug (whichever is longer), or is anticipated to require any concomitant medication during that period or at any time throughout the study.
• Participant reports consumption of any drug metabolizing enzyme (e.g. CYP3A4 or other cytochrome P450 enzymes) inducing or inhibiting aliments, beverages or food supplements within two weeks prior to the first scheduled study drug administration, or is anticipated to consume such products during that two-week period or at any time throughout the study.
