• Major surgery in the last 6 months
• Psychiatric disorder that could compromise the ability of the patient to cooperate with the study
• Serum bilirubin higher to the upper limit of normal attributable to factors other than hemolysis or Gilbert's Syndrome
• Use of restricted products known to strongly inhibit cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 metabolism within 5 days prior to Prior Day 1 dosing, or to strongly induce cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) metabolism within 28 days prior to Day 1 dosing, or to strongly inhibit P-glycoprotein transporter within 5 days prior to Day 1 dosing, or digoxin within 5 days prior to Day 1 dosing.
• Heart-rate corrected QT interval - Fridericia's method (QTcF) interval ˃ 450 ms in male, QTcF > 470 ms in female, with the exception of patients with a left Bundle Branch Block
• Cardiac arrhythmias that are clinically significant or treated with drugs that are substrates of CYP3A4
• Allergy to sulfonamides if characterized by acute hemolytic anemia, anaphylaxis, rash of erythema multiforme type or Stevens-Johnson Syndrome
• Any other medical or psychological condition deemed by the Investigator to be likely to interfere with a patient's ability to participate in the study
• Patients will not be permitted to enter the Extension Period if: The patient experienced AEs during the Core Period that are considered by the treating Investigator or the Sponsor's designated Medical Monitor to pose a significant safety risk to the patient if treatment were to be extended
