Donated more than 500 mL of blood or significant blood loss within 60 days prior to signing the informed consent form;
Any other medical, psychological, or social condition that, in the opinion of an investigator, would prevent the participant from fully participating in the study, would represent a concern for study compliance, or would constitute a safety concern to the participant;
