The participant has any significant acute or chronic medical illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, would impact the participant's ability to complete all study requirements or that might impact the assessment of study data; or the participant has had a clinically significant illness within 30 days prior to study drug dosing per investigator discretion. 2. The participant has a positive COVID-19 molecular diagnostic test result at screening or prior to study drug dosing; or the participant has known or suspected current sequelae from a prior episode of COVID-19. 3. The participant has had major surgery, as determined by the investigator, within 12 weeks prior to study drug dosing. 4. The participant has any of the following prior to study drug dosing: • Systolic blood pressure \>140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \>90 mmHg. 5. The participant has any of the following on 12-lead ECG prior to study drug dosing, confirmed by repeat: * Heart rate \<40 or \>100 beats per minute. * PR interval \>220 milliseconds (ms). * QRS width \>120 ms. * QTcF \>=450 ms (male) or \>=470 ms (female). 6. The participant has any of the following clinical laboratory results at screening, confirmed by repeat: * WBCs, lymphocytes, or neutrophil counts outside site acceptable ranges per site SOPs. * eGFR \< 60 mL/min/1.73m\^2 (the CKD-EPI formula) * ALT or AST \>2\*ULN * Total bilirubin \>2\*ULN 7. The participant has a positive test result for HBsAg, anti-HBcAb, hepatitis C virus antibody, or HIV types 1 or 2 antibodies at screening. 8. The participant has a history of TB, active TB, or a positive Quantiferon-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) test at screening. 9. The participant has received any vaccine or used any prescription or over the-counter medications (except acetaminophen \[up to 2 g per day\]), including herbal or nutritional supplements, within 14 days prior to study drug dosing. 10. The participant has received biologic agents within the 3 months prior to study drug dosing, or 5 half-lives, whichever is greater. Participants with a prior history of anti-TNFα exposure will be excluded. 11. The participant is a smoker or has regularly used nicotine or nicotine-containing products within 3 months prior to study drug dosing. 12. History of drug abuse within 1 year prior to screening. 13. The participant has a positive test result for drugs of abuse, alcohol, or cotinine (indicating active current smoking) at screening or prior to study drug dosing. 14. The participant has donated blood or blood products \>500 mL within 30 days prior to study drug dosing. 15. The participant has a history of hypersensitivity to vaccines, the study drug, or to drugs of similar chemical classes including allergy to drug or its excipients. 16. Any reason which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would prevent the participant from participating in the study.
