Key exclusion criteria
Exclusion Criteria

Participants will be excluded from the study if they meet any of the following criteria:

1. History or presence of other significant disorder that at the discretion of the PI or delegate is considered "serious" classifying the participant as "not a good candidate" for the study.
2. Presence of penetrating brain injury.
3. Treatment with an investigational drug in another clinical trial within 60 days or 5 half-lives of the other investigational drug (whichever is longer) prior to the first administration of study drug in this trial.
4. Any other condition or prior therapy that in the opinion of the Investigator would make the volunteer unsuitable for this study, including inability to cooperate fully with the requirements of the study protocol or likelihood of noncompliance with any study requirements.

7.3 Screen Failures Participants who consent to participate in the study but fail to meet the eligibility criteria at any point during the Screening Period and until randomisation are defined as screening failures. The reason for each screening failure will be recorded on the appropriate screening and enrolment log.

7.4 Re-Screening Participants who fail screening are not permitted to be re-screened. 7.5 Participant Withdrawal Criteria

Participants will be advised that they are free to withdraw from the study at any time for any reason or, if necessary, the PI (or delegate) may discontinue a participant from the study to protect the participant's wellbeing. A participant may voluntarily withdraw or be withdrawn from the study for reasons including, but not limited to, the following:

* The need to take medication which may interfere with study measurements;
* Intolerable/unacceptable AEs;
* Noncompliance of the participant with the protocol;
* Pregnancy, as indicated in Section 12.7;
* Withdrawal of consent; or
* If, in the PI's (or delegate's) judgement, it is in the participant's best interest.

The Sponsor will be notified as soon as possible of any participant withdrawals. The date and reasons for withdrawal will be recorded in the eCRF.

Any participant who prematurely discontinues study drug, should have all scheduled assessments performed and attend all scheduled follow-up visits. If a participant withdraws or is withdrawn from the study, an attempt should be made to perform the Early Termination Visit assessments detailed in the Schedule of Assessments (SoA) in Section 1.3.

7.6 Participant Replacement Final confirmation of eligibility will be conducted prior to administration of the first dose of study drug (Day 1).

Automatic replacement of participants is allowed if a participant withdraws or is withdrawn prior to administration of the first dose of study drug.

Participants who withdraw or are withdrawn from the study after administration of the first dose of study drug for reasons other than occurrence of a treatment-related SAE, may be replaced at the discretion of the PI (or delegate) and following consultation with the Sponsor.

Any participants enrolled as replacements will be allocated to the same study treatment (treatment arm) as the participant replaced.
