Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Participants must satisfy the following criteria to be enrolled in the study: 1. Must be male or female (according to their reproductive organs and functions assigned by chromosomal complement). 2. Must be 18 to 55 years of age, inclusive. 3. Must have a body mass index (BMI; weight [kg]/height^2 [m]^2) between 18.5 and 30.0 kg/m^2 (inclusive), and body weight not less than 50.0 kg. 4. Must be healthy on the basis of physical examination, medical history, vital signs, and 12-lead ECG performed at screening (results must be available on Day -1). If there are abnormalities, participants may be included only if the investigator judges the abnormalities or the deviations from normal to be not clinically significant. This determination must be recorded in the participant's source documents and initialed by the investigator. 5. Must be healthy on the basis of clinical laboratory tests performed at screening (results must be available on Day -1). If the results of the serum chemistry panel, hematology, or urinalysis are outside the normal reference ranges, the participant may be included only if the investigator judges the abnormalities or deviations from normal to be not clinically significant. This determination must be recorded in the participant's source documents and initialed by the investigator. 6. Must sign an ICF indicating that he or she understands the purpose of, and procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate in the study, before any study-related procedures take place. 7. Non-postmenopausal women must have a negative highly sensitive serum ß-human chorionic gonadotropin (ß-hCG) 4 days or less before dosing of the first treatment period. 8. Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the use of contraceptive methods for participants participating in clinical studies. Before randomization, a woman must be either: • Not of childbearing potential defined as: a. premenarchal A premenarchal state is one in which menarche has not yet occurred. b. postmenopausal A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high-follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level (>40.0 IU/L or mIU/mL) in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. In the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient to establish menopausal status. If there is a question about menopausal status in women on hormone-replacement therapy (HRT), the woman will be required to use one of the non-estrogen-containing hormonal highly effective contraceptive methods if she wishes to continue HRT during the study. c. permanently sterile Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral tubal occlusion/ligation procedures, and bilateral oophorectomy. • Of childbearing potential and d. be not heterosexually active, or have a vasectomized partner for the duration of the study and for at least 90 days after receiving the last dose of study drug, OR e. practicing a highly effective method of contraception before entry and agree to continue to use a highly effective method of contraception throughout the study, and for at least 90 days after receiving the last dose of study drug. Women with tubal ligation are required to use one additional contraceptive method. Note: Estrogen-based hormonal contraception may

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Any potential participants who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from participating in the study: 1. Has a history of or current clinically significant medical illness including (but not limited to) cardiac arrhythmias or other cardiac disease, hematologic disease, coagulation disorders (including any abnormal bleeding or blood dyscrasias), lipid abnormalities, significant pulmonary disease (including bronchospastic respiratory disease), diabetes mellitus, hepatic or renal insufficiency, gastrointestinal disease (such as significant diarrhea, gastric stasis, or constipation that in the investigator’s opinion could influence drug absorption or bioavailability), thyroid disease, neurologic or psychiatric disease, infection, or any other illness that the investigator considers should exclude the participant or that could interfere with the interpretation of the study results. 2. Has one or more of the following laboratory abnormalities at screening or at Day -1 (grading as defined by the Division of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [DAIDS] Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events): • Serum creatinine Grade 1 or greater (=1.1 x upper limit of laboratory normal range [ULN]) or estimated GFR (using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration [CKD-EPI] formula) <90 mL/min/1.73 m^2 • Lipase Grade 1 or greater (=1.1 x ULN), and/or total amylase Grade 2 or greater (=1.5 x ULN). • Hemoglobin (Hb) Grade 1 or greater (female: =6.5 mmol/L or =10.4 g/dL and male: =6.8 mmol/L or =10.9 g/dL). • Platelet count Grade 1 or greater (<125.000 x 10^9/L). • Absolute neutrophil count Grade 1 or greater (=1.0 x 10^9/L). • Aspartate aminotransferase or ALT Grade 1 or greater (=1.25 x ULN). • Total bilirubin Grade 2 or greater (=1.6 x ULN). Note: Participants with documented Gilbert’s syndrome could have total bilirubin up to 5 x ULN. • For proteinuria (spot urine) =2+. • Microscopic hematuria (=6 red blood cells [RBCs]/ high power field [hpf]); if a female participant is menstruating at the time of screening, a urine retest is to be performed after the menstrual period. • Any other laboratory abnormality of grade 2 or greater. For low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol values corresponding to DAIDS grade 2 or greater, participants will not to be excluded as long as the value is not higher than ULN of the local lab. 3. Clinically significant abnormalities during physical examination, vital signs, or 12-lead ECG at screening or at admission to the study site as deemed appropriate by the investigator. 4. With a clinically significant skin disease such as, but not limited to, dermatitis, eczema, drug rash, psoriasis, food allergy, or urticaria. 5. Has a history of malignancy within 5 years before screening (exceptions are squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or malignancy, which is considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence). 6. Has taken any disallowed therapies before the planned first dose of study drug. 7. Has a history of drug or alcohol abuse according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th edition) (DSM-V) criteria within 1 year before screening or positive test result(s) for alcohol and/or drugs of abuse (such as hallucinogens, barbiturates, opiates, opioids, cocaine, cannabinoids, amphetamines, and benzodiazepines) at screening. 8. With a history of clinically significant drug allergy such as, but not limited to, sulfonam
