Prohibited Treatment or Therapies
1. Subject has received other investigational treatment within 28 days

3. Subject has received systemic immunosuppressive therapy, including systemic
corticosteroids within 14 days prior to first dose of study treatment. Subject using a physiologic replacement dose of hydrocortisone or its equivalent (defined as up to 30 mg per day of hydrocortisone or up to 10 mg per day of prednisone) or a single dose of systemic corticosteriods is eligible.

? QTc interval > 450 msec for male subjects; QTc interval > 470 msec for female
subjects;
? Cardiac arrhythmias requiring anti-arrhythmic medications (Subjects with rate
controlled atrial fibrillation for > 1 month prior to first dose of study treatment
are eligible.)
