E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |

Participants with other significant disease that may interfere with the interpretation of study data (e.g., other neuromuscular or muscular diseases). 3. Participant with a clinical diagnosis of gout, or with serum uric acid > ULN at screening. 4. Participant with clinically significant electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities at screening including PR interval ≥220 msec, irregular rhythms (other than sinus arrhythmia or occasional, rare supraventricular or rare ventricular ectopic beats) in the judgement of the Investigator, or T-wave configurations are not of sufficient quality for assessing QT interval duration. 5. Participant with any of the following abnormalities in QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia’s correction (QTcF) at screening: a. QTcF >450 msec for male participants without bundle branch block. b. QTcF >470 msec for female participants without bundle branch block. c. QTcF >480 msec in participants with bundle branch block. 6. Participant with any of the following: a. Abnormal liver function test defined as total bilirubin >1.5×ULN (participants with Gilbert's syndrome can be included with total bilirubin >1.5×ULN if direct bilirubin is ≤1.5×ULN and ≤35% of total bilirubin). b. Current or chronic history of liver disease including (but not limited to) hepatitis virus infections, drug- or alcohol-related liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, α-1 antitrypsin deficiency, primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, or any other liver disease considered clinically significant by the Investigator. c. Known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones). 7. Participant with clinically significant laboratory test abnormalities at screening. 8. Participant with breast cancer within the past 10 years or lymphoma, leukaemia, or any malignancy within the past 5 years. An exception of this 5-year requirement is basal cell or squamous epithelial carcinomas of the skin that have been resected with no evidence of metastatic disease. 9. Participants with ongoing significant psychiatric disorder (e.g., uncontrolled depression, anxiety). 10. Participants with positive drug screen (cocaine, heroin, opiates, and ketamine at screening. Participants will not be excluded from the study if they showed a positive drug screen due to medically prescribed opiates or ketamine. 11. Participants with positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody test. 12. Participants with presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) [or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb)] at screening or within 3 months prior to first dose of investigational intervention. 13. Participants with positive hepatitis C antibody or ribonucleic acid (RNA) test result at screening or within 3 months prior to Day 1. NOTE: Participants with hepatitis C with positive hepatitis C antibody could be enrolled, if a negative hepatitis C RNA test is obtained. 14. Participants with a clinically significant history of allergic conditions (including drug allergies and anaphylactic reactions) or hypersensitivity to any component of the study intervention. 15. Participants with evidence of a lens opacity or cataract, or an inability to undergo the ophthalmologic evaluation, at screening. 16. Participants who have received any prohibited medication within 30 days (or 5 half-lives of the medication, whichever is shorter), or are likely to require treatment with prohibited medications during the study. Prohibited medications are listed in Section 6.9 and include drugs affecting neuromuscular transmission (such as anticholinergic drugs), drugs showing relevant effect on ClC-1 channel, drugs with potential drug-drug interactions with NMD670. Other current and recent (within 1 month prior to the screening) treatments will be allowed, if judged by the Investigator to have no clinical relevance. 17. Participants received treatment with an investigational medicinal product (IMP) within 30 days (or 5 half-lives of the medication, whichever is longer) prior to Day 1. 18. Participants unable to perform or tolerate electromyography (EMG), according to medical history or at screening. 19. Participants with history of poor compliance with relevant SMA therapy. |
