Chest imaging performed 12 weeks prior to Screening showing no active TB will be accepted with a copy of the report available in the source document. NOTE: Participants who have previously been adequately treated for latent or active TB (according to WHO/regional or local country recommendations by appropriately qualified personnel as defined by local practice) may be enrolled. Neither a QFT-G test, nor a TSPOT test nor a PPD test is needed provided the treatment, including details of the previous course of therapy (eg, medication(s) used, dose, and duration) is well documented in the participant's medical records and/or source documentation prior to enrollment in the study. A participant who is currently being treated for latent TB infection can only be enrolled with documentation of an adequate treatment regimen that does not include prohibited medications (such as rifamycins \[eg, Rifabutin, Rifampin, Rifapentine\]), and with prior approval by the sponsor (see Section 8.7). iv.

Note: In case hypovitaminosis D (under LLN) is identified for the first time at Screening, treatment should be started at least 7 days prior to baseline. • History of severe allergic or anaphylactoid reaction to any kinase inhibitor or a known allergy/hypersensitivity to any component (including excipients) of the study intervention. * Have hearing loss with progression over the previous 5 years, sudden hearing loss, or middle or inner ear disease such as otitis media, cholesteatoma, Meniere's disease, labyrinthitis, or other auditory condition that is considered acute, fluctuating or progressive. * Have a history of any lymphoproliferative disorder such as EBV-related lymphoproliferative disorder, history of lymphoma, history of leukemia, or signs and symptoms suggestive of current lymphatic or lymphoid disease. * Abnormal findings on the screening chest imaging (eg, chest x-ray) that may increase the risk associated with study participation including, but not limited to, presence of active TB, general infections, cardiomyopathy, or malignancy.
