Any clinically meaningful abnormal finding in physical examination, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), hematology, serum chemistry, or urinalysis, which in the opinion of the Investigator, may put the subject at risk because of his/her participation in the study, or may influence the results of the study, or the subject's ability to complete the entire duration of the study.\n- 22. Cirrhosis (with or without evidence of hepatic dysfunction) or other active or clinically significant liver disease (including aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, or alkaline phosphatase >2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or total bilirubin >1.5 times the ULN) will be excluded.
