   5. Other latent or chronic infections (e.g., recurrent sinusitis, genital or ocular herpes, urinary tract infection) or at risk of infection (surgery, trauma, or significant infection) within 3 months of Screening, or history of skin abscesses within 3 months of Screening.
   6. Clinically significant lower respiratory tract infection not resolved within 4weeks prior to Screening, as determined by the PI.
   7. Volunteers with active malignancy or neoplastic disease in the previous 5 years other than superficial basal cell carcinoma.
   8. Disease history suggesting abnormal immune function or use of or plans to use systemic immunosuppressive (e.g., corticosteroids, methotrexate, azathioprine, cyclosporine) or immunomodulating medications (e.g., interferon) during the study or within 4 months prior to the first study drug administration.

3. Some subjects lacking functional Dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP1) enzyme have been described to have periodontitis and palmoplantar hyperkeratosis:

   1. Subjects with signs of current gingivitis/periodontitis. Gingival evaluation (by inspection) will be performed by a dental hygienist or trained study physician.
   2. Subjects with a history of hyperkeratosis or erythema in palms or soles.

4. Liver function test results (i.e., aspartate aminotransferase [AST], alanine aminotransferase [ALT], and gamma glutamyl transferase [GGT]) and total bilirubin elevated more than 1.5 fold above the ULN.

5. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C antibody (HCVAb), syphilis antibody and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody test are positive at screening.

6. Presence or having sequelae of gastrointestinal, liver, kidney, or other conditions known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs.

7. History of alcohol abuse within 12 months prior to first study drug administration or positive alcohol breath test. Regular alcohol consumption defined as > 21 alcohol units per week (where 1 unit = 284 mL of beer, 25 mL of 40% spirit or a 125 mL glass of wine).

9. Donation of blood or plasma within 30 days prior to first study drug administration, or loss of whole blood of more than 500 mL within 30 days prior to randomization, or receipt of a blood transfusion within 1 year of first study drug administration.

10. Participation in another investigational clinical trial within 60 days prior to the first study drug administration.

19. Pregnant or lactating at Screening or planning to become pregnant (self or partner) at any time during the study, including the Follow-up period.
