14. Received a blood transfusion within 28 days prior to dosing.
15. Received any biologics within 90 days prior to dosing. Previous participation in another study within 30 days or 5 half-lives of the study drug, whichever is longer, prior to screening; prior participation at any time in non-invasive methodology trials in which no drugs were given is acceptable.
16. The PI considers that the volunteer should not participate in the study.

(*) Full COVID-19 vaccination prior to participation is strongly recommended.

(**) In the event a subject chooses to receive one of the two 2-dose approved or emergency-use-authorized COVID 19 vaccines (Comirnaty® [Pfizer], Spikevax™ [Moderna]) in the interval between two CRU stays (Cohort 2A/2B or Cohort 3A/3B), flexibility in timing of the second CRU stay should be applied, to allow appropriate receipt of the second vaccine dosage or booster (based on the respective vaccine label) + 14 days, to minimize risk of confounding findings/observations.
