• Subject has history of malignancy within the past 2 years prior to the Screening Visit, with the exception of basal cell carcinoma.
• Subjects with other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition that could compromise participation in the study (i.e. active infection, uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure, unstable angina, ventricular arrhythmias, active ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction within six months, uncompensated cirrhosis, active upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract ulceration).
• Subject is currently enrolled in, or has not yet completed a period of at least 30 days or five half-lives of the investigational drug whichever is longer, since ending other investigational device or drug trial(s) prior to Screening Phase.
