• Use or intend to use slow-release medications/products considered to still be active within 14 days prior to D-1, unless deemed acceptable by the Investigator (or designee).
• Use or intend to use any nonprescription medications/products including vitamins, minerals, and phytotherapeutic/herbal/plant-derived preparations within 7 days prior to D-1, unless deemed acceptable by the Investigator (or designee).
• Participants with a history of infectious diseases (which may affect the ability of the participant to participate in the study at the discretion of the Investigator), severe trauma, or major surgical operation within 4 weeks prior to Screening.

• History of pheochromocytoma or has uncontrolled blood pressure, as defined as systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg.
• Known history or family history of thyroid C-cell tumor/carcinoma, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2), thyroid dysfunction or thyroid hormone abnormality.
• History of acute or chronic pancreatitis, symptomatic gallbladder disease, pancreatic injury and other high-risk factors that may lead to pancreatitis.

• Any of the following:
  • QTcF \> 450 msec regardless of gender , confirmed by repeat measurement.
  • QRS duration \> 110 msec confirmed by repeat measurement.
  • PR interval \> 220 msec confirmed by repeat measurement.
  • Findings which would make QTc measurements difficult or QTc data uninterpretable.
  • History of additional risk factors for torsades de pointes (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of long QT syndrome).
• History of diabetes mellitus Type I or II or clinical evidence of diabetes (e.g., hemoglobin A1c ≥ 6.5%, fasting blood glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL \[7.0 mmol/L\]) at Screening, non-fasting glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) at Screening, or use of any hypoglycemic drugs during Screening or within 3 months prior to Screening
• With any of following laboratory abnormality:
  • Elevation in serum amylase or lipase (\> 1.5 × upper limit of normal \[ULN\]).

  • Have serum TG ≥ 5.65 mmol/L (500 mg/dL) at screening
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 90 mL/min/1.73m2.
• The presence of clinically significant physical examination, vital sign, drug, or ECG findings at Screening or baseline or laboratory findings at Screening that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Medical Monitor, may interfere with any aspect of study conduct or interpretation of results.
