  • People with significant liver disease shown by abnormal liver function blood test results
  • People who cannot have MRI scans or who cannot receive a particular type of contrast dye used in MRI imaging
  • People whose Alzheimer's medications (such as galantamine, rivastigmine, or donepezil) or blood pressure medications have been changed in the last 28 days, or where a change is planned during the study
  • People with severe breathing disease involving persistently low oxygen levels, known build-up of carbon dioxide in the blood, or a need for home oxygen therapy

  • People currently taking certain medications that strongly or moderately activate the same liver enzyme, including drugs such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampicin, St John's wort, efavirenz, and others — confirm full list with trial site)
  • People currently taking oral contraceptives
  • People who cannot have MRI scans or who cannot receive the contrast dye used in MRI imaging (this criterion applies specifically to healthy volunteers)
  • Women of childbearing potential who are pregnant (this criterion applies specifically to healthy volunteers)
  • People with reduced kidney function below a specific threshold (this criterion applies specifically to healthy volunteers — confirm with trial site)
  • People with severe breathing disease involving persistently low oxygen levels, known build-up of carbon dioxide, or a need for home oxygen therapy (this criterion applies specifically to healthy volunteers)
