Patients may be eligible if able to be taken off warfarin and started on an alternative anticoagulant\n- Patients with evidence of any of the following conditions: o New York Heart Association Functional Classification III or IV congestive heart failure o History of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or acute coronary syndrome within 6 months prior to registration o Recent infection requiring systemic treatment; need to have completed anti-biotic therapy > 14 days before the first dose of study drug o Cerebral vascular accident or intracranial bleed within the last 6 months o Known active chronic hepatitis C o Positive serology for hepatitis B defined as a positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg); in addition, if negative for HBsAg but hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) positive (regardless of hepatitis B surface antibody [HBsAb] status), a hepatitis B deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) test will be performed and, if positive the subject will be ineligible; if the hepatitis B DNA test is negative (i.e. viral load undetectable) then the individual is eligible; if a patient who is HBsAg negative, HBcAb positive, and hepatitis B DNA negative is enrolled, they should be considered for either prophylactic anti-viral therapy or careful monitoring for HBV reactivation. Patients who have protective titers of HBsAb after vaccination or prior but cured hepatitis B are eligible."}
