• Females are eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP); is a WOCBP and using an acceptable contraceptive method, or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle; a WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (\[urine or serum\] as required by local regulations) within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention; if a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (e.g. an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive
