• −Known New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or Class IV heart failure.
• −Diagnosed reduced lung function with either diffusion capacity (corrected for hemoglobin) or forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) ≤65% of predicted value, or oxygen (O2) saturation ≤82% on room air.

• −Previous participation in any study using an investigational drug within 5 half-lives of the drug, or intention to use investigational drug before completion of the Day 56 Safety Follow-Up. Concurrent participation in another trial may be allowed (e.g., interventional trialInterventional studyA study where participants are given something to see what happens.Read more → with a previously approved study drug\[s\] or observational trialObservational studyA study that watches what happens without assigning any treatment.Read more →). In such cases, the Medical Monitor should be consulted prior to enrolling a potential participant.
• −Prior recipient of orthotopic lung transplant.
• −Imminent transition to hospice or withdrawn care such as with refractory malignancy or multiorgan failure.
• −The Principal Investigator (PI) determines the participant should not participate in the study.
