4. Participant is considered to be medically healthy, as determined by a responsible and experienced investigator, based on a clinical evaluation (including medical history, physical examination, clinical laboratory tests, vital sign measurements, and a 12-lead ECG performed, and the results of clinical chemistry, hematology, coagulation, and urinalysis carried out at Screening and Day -1.
5. Participant has alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin levels <1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) at Screening and at Day -1.
6. Participant has normal renal function (creatinine clearance ≥90 mL/min) as evidenced by normal estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) measured by the CKD-EPI equation.
7. Participant agrees to the following during the treatment periods and for at least 7 days after the last dose of study treatment:
   1. Refrain from donating or preserving sperm; PLUS either
   2. Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent.

      OR

   3. Must agree to use a male condom when having sexual intercourse with women of childbearing potential (WOCBP). An additional form of contraception should also be used by the female partner if she is of childbearing potential.
8. Has sufficiently good venous access in at least one arm to confidently enable serial

   blood sampling.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Participant has a history or presence of oncologic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, hematologic, gastrointestinal, ocular, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, musculoskeletal, neurologic, psychiatric, or other disease or condition or laboratory test abnormality that in the investigator's judgment poses a significant risk to the safety of the participant or the achievement of study objectives.
2. Participant has a history or presence of any condition possibly affecting drug absorption (e.g., gastrectomy).
3. Participant has a medical history or abnormal findings at Screening or Day -1 that the investigator judges may put at risk achieving the objectives of the study or protecting the safety of the participant.
4. Participant has an acute illness with symptom or treatment that has started or persisted within 14 days prior to study treatment administration unless mild in severity and enrollment is approved by both investigator and sponsor's medical monitor.

7. Participant has blood pressure (BP) that is ≥140 mmHg systolic or 90 mmHg diastolic following at least 5 minutes of rest in the supine position at Screening and Day -1. Additionally, BP that is <90 mmHg systolic or 45 mmHg diastolic following at least 5 minutes of rest at Screening and Day -1.
8. Participant has heart rate (HR) that is <40 bpm or >100 bpm after resting in a supine position for 5 minutes at Screening and Day -1.

14. Participant has received any vaccine within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment administration on Day 1.
15. Participant has received any CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers within 21 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to Day 1.
16. Participant has had concurrent use of long-acting gastric acid-reducing agents within 21 days of Day 1, including H2 blockers and PPIs, including over-the-counter agents.
17. Participant has received any prescription or non-prescription drugs (including vitamins and dietary or herbal supplements), within 3 weeks or 5 half-lives, if known (whichever is longer) prior to study treatment administration on Day 1.
18. Participant has received an investigational product within 30 days or 5 times the half-lives, if known, of any drug used in the prior study (whichever is longer), or exposure to more than 3 new investigational agents within 12 months prior to study treatment administration on Day 1.
19. Participant has a known hypersensitivity or intolerance to any of the study treatments, or excipients thereof, or a history of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the investigator or sponsor medical monitor, contraindicates their participation.
20. Participant has a history of excessive intake of alcohol, defined as an average daily intake of >3 units, or an average weekly intake of >14 units (1 unit is equivalent to 1 can or bottle [250 mL] of beer, or 1 measure [35 mL] of spirits, or 1 glass [100 mL] of wine) in the last 6 months prior to Screening.
