• The patient has a history of cardiopulmonary, neurological or psychiatric condition that may confound the assessments of efficacy or safety.

• The patient has cirrhosis, moderate or severe hepatic impairment or an alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) value > 3X upper limit of normal (ULN) at Screening.

• The patient has severe renal impairment or a serum creatinine value of > 2x upper limit of normal (ULN) at Screening.

• The patient has potassium, sodium, calcium or magnesium levels outside of the normal range at Screening.
