- Abnormal findings identified on physical examination, ECG, or laboratory testing include, but are not limited to: − ALT or AST ≥ 2 × ULN. − TBL ≥ 1.5 × ULN (unless due to Gilbert's disease). − Evidence of chronic liver disease. − Abnormal vital signs, after 5 minutes of supine or sitting rest (confirmed by one controlled measurement), defined as any of the following: o SBP < 80 mmHg or ≥ 150 mmHg. o DBP < 50 mmHg or ≥ 95 mmHg. o Pulse < 45 or > 100 beats per minute. − Signs of pulmonary oedema or volume overload. − Any clinically significant rhythm, conduction, or morphology abnormalities in the ECG including but not limited to QTcF > 450 ms. Please refer to the protocol for the full list of exclusion criteria
