  • Exposure to any investigational drug or device ≤30 days prior to Screening or at any time during the study.
  • Patient has alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), or total bilirubin levels ≥2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or has alkaline phosphatase levels ≥3 times the ULN as determined from Screening safety laboratories.
