  6. The participant is considered by the investigator to be in good general health asdetermined by medical history, clinical laboratory test results, vital signmeasurements, 12-lead ECG results, and physical examination findings at Screening.

  7. Participants of childbearing potential must use an acceptable method of birthcontrol (ie, diaphragm with spermicide, intrauterine device, condom with foam orvaginal spermicide, oral contraceptives, or abstinence) or be surgically sterile (ie, hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy).

  5. The participant has undergone surgery (other than cesarean section) within 30 daysbefore the first dose of study drug.

  6. The participant has a positive test result for hepatitis B surface antigen,hepatitis C virus antibody, or human immunodeficiency virus types 1 or 2 antibodiesat Screening.

  7. The participant has any other clinically significant findings on physicalexamination, clinical laboratory abnormalities, or ECG results that precludeparticipation in the study, as deemed by the investigator.

  8. The participant has used any prescription (excluding hormonal birth control) and/orover-the-counter medications (including cytochrome P450 3A4 inducers), includingherbal or nutritional supplements, within 14 days before the first dose of studydrug, and/or is expected to require any such medication during the course of thestudy until end of the Treatment Period. Use of multivitamins and acetaminophen (upto 2 g per day) is permissible.

  11. The participant has a history of alcohol abuse or drug dependency within 12 monthsbefore the first dose of study drug.

  12. The participant has a positive test result for drugs of abuse, alcohol, or cotinine (indicating active current smoking) at Screening, Baseline, or Day 4 (Check-in).

  13. The participant is involved in strenuous activity or contact sports within 24 hoursbefore the first dose of study drug and during the study.

  14. The participant has a history of relevant drug and/or food allergies (ie, anysignificant food allergy that could preclude a standard diet in the clinicalresearch unit).

  15. The participant has received study drug in another investigational study (includingvonoprazan) within 30 days prior to start of the Screening Period.

  16. The participant has a history of hypersensitivity or allergies to vonoprazan or anyof its formulation excipients (D-mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, fumaric acid, ascorbic acid, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate,hypromellose, polyethylene glycol 8000, titanium dioxide, or ferric oxide red).

  17. In the opinion of the investigator, the participant is not suitable for entry intothe study.
