✕. History of lymphoproliferative disease or any known malignancy or history of malignancy of any organ system within the past 5 years (except for basal cell carcinoma or actinic keratosis that have been treated with no evidence of recurrence in the past 3 months, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or non-invasive malignant colon polyps that have been removed).
✕. Participants newly diagnosed with HIV infection on the basis of the trial screening testing or other recent testing (\< 6 months) are excluded. Participants with documented stable HIV infection are allowed to participate in the study. Stable HIV infection is defined as: clinically stable with no signs or symptoms of advanced HIV infection and taking their current anti-retroviral therapy for ≥ 6 months with an undetectable viral load for ≥ 6 months. Participants taking anti-retroviral therapy prohibited in Section 6.9.4 are excluded.
✕. Participants with active infectious conditions, such as tuberculosis, or history or active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are excluded. Active HBV is defined as a positive HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) test, or if standard local practice, a positive HBV core antigen test and all participants with a positive HBV core antibody screening test must have HBsAg measured. Active HCV is defined as having detectable HCV RNA and all participants with a positive HCV antibody test at screening must have HCV RNA measured. Participants taking therapy for HBV or HCV are excluded.
✕. ECG abnormalities, either historic (no longer present) or current which, in the view of the investigator, indicate a significant risk to study participation. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
