5. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and men agree to use a highly effective contraceptive measure (based on the Clinical Trial Facilitation Group [CTFG]) during the duration of the study and for 28 days after the last dose of study drug in the case of women and 90 days after the last dose of study drug in the case of men, as described in Appendix 1.
6. For WOCBP, a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to the first dose of study medication.

3. Subject has a concurrent clinically significant, unstable or uncontrolled cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, hematological, coagulation, immunological, endocrine/metabolic or other medical disorder that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose additional risk to the subject by their participation in the study.

History within 6 months of screening of any of the following: myocardial infarction, unstable angina, transient ischemic attack, decompensated heart failure requiring hospitalization, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class 3 or 4), uncontrolled arrhythmias, cardiac revascularization, stroke, uncontrolled hypertension (resting systolic blood pressure [BP] > 160mmHg or resting diastolic BP > 100mmHg on more than one occasion) or uncontrolled diabetes (Hgb A1c > 9% or > one episode of severe hypoglycemia).

c. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60
d. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) = 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
7. Treatment with hydroxyurea = 24 weeks prior to screening (unless approved by the Medical Monitor).
8. Use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) = 24 weeks prior to screening.

13. Current or recent history of alcohol dependence or illicit drug use within 1 year prior to screening.
14. Subject is mentally or legally incapacitated at the time of screening visit or has a history of clinically significant psychiatric disorders that would impact the subject’s ability to participate in the trial according to the Investigator.
