Exclusion Criteria
- History of or current clinically significant medical illness including (but not limited to) cardiac arrhythmias or other cardiac disease, hematologic (blood) disease, coagulation disorders (including any abnormal bleeding), lipid abnormalities, significant lung disease (including bronchospastic respiratory disease), diabetes mellitus, kidney or liver insufficiency, thyroid disease, neurologic or psychiatric disease, infection, or any other illness that the investigator considers should exclude the participant or that could interfere with the interpretation of the study results
- Clinically significant abnormal values for hematology, clinical chemistry or urinalysis at screening or at admission to the study center as deemed appropriate by the investigator
- Clinically significant abnormal physical examination, vital signs or 12-lead ECG at screening (or at admission to the study center) as deemed appropriate by the investigator
- Use of any prescription or nonprescription medication (including vitamins and herbal supplements), except for oral contraceptives and hormonal replacement therapy within 14 days before the first dose of the study drug is scheduled
