The caregiver needs to be able to complete the caregiver assessments defined for the entire study. Every attempt should be made to have the same evaluator complete the assessments for the duration of the study.
Exclusion criteria
- Participant has a history of lymphoma, leukemia, or any malignancy within the past 5 years except for basal cell or squamous epithelial carcinomas of the skin that have been resected with no evidence of metastatic disease for 3 years. - Participant has clinically significant abnormality in vital signs according to the Investigator - Participant has an exclusionary cardiovascular or cardiopulmonary abnormality based on echocardiogram (ECHO), electrocardiogram (ECG), or physical examination, and is not approved for entry by the central cardiac reader. Exclusionary abnormalities include, but are not limited to: a. Greater than trace aortic valve regurgitation. b. Greater than mild mitral valve regurgitation. c. Possible signs of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) with abnormal pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) or PASP ≥35 mmHg. d. Evidence of left ventricular dysfunction (systolic or diastolic). e. Clinically significant structural cardiac abnormality, including but not limited to mitral valve prolapse, atrial or ventricular septal defects, or patent ductus arteriosus with reversal of shunt (right to left shunt). Note: Patent foramen ovale without a reversal of shunt or a bicuspid aortic valve is not considered exclusionary - Participant has a clinically significant medical condition, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, portal hypertension, or need for invasive mechanical ventilation (eg, via tracheostomy), or has had clinically relevant symptoms or a clinically significant illness currently or in the 4 weeks prior to the Screening Visit that would negatively impact study participation, collection of study data, or pose a risk to the participant - Participant is taking >4 concomitant antiseizure medications (ASMs). Rescue medications are not included in the count
