Females who are postmenopausal must have documentation of cessation of menses for ≥ 12 months and serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) ≥ 30 mU/mL
Participants receiving allowed concomitant medications need to be on stable therapy for 28 days prior to Baseline.

You may not qualify if…

Serum albumin < 3.5 g/dL
Serum creatinine levels ≥ 1.5 mg/dL for males or ≥ 1.4 mg/dL for females if participant is receiving metformin

Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding
Receiving ongoing therapy with any disallowed medication at Screening
Allergy to the study drug or its components
Any other clinically significant disorders or prior therapy that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for the study or unable to comply with the dosing and protocol requirements.
