Found it:
    ffmpeg -y                               \
           -ss ${startTime} -to ${endTime}  \
           -i ${inputFile}                  \
           -map_metadata -1                 \
           -map_chapters -1                 \
           -acodec copy -vcodec copy        \
           -avoid_negative_ts 1             \
           ${outputFile}
