  • Reasonable expectation of availability to receive the full 9 day course of therapy and be available for follow up evaluations
  • Female patient is either:
  • Not of childbearing potential, defined as postmenopausal for at least 1 year or surgically sterile (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy) or
  • If of childbearing potential, would agree to use two of the following reliable methods of birth control throughout the study, including the follow-up visits:

时间窗: 6 months

The primary endpoint for this study is safety. The following safety endpoints will be assessed: * Type, incidence, severity, timing, seriousness, and relatedness of adverse events. * Lower extremity deep vein ultrasound will be performed to identify and localize deep or superficial venous thrombosis. * Vital signs * Laboratory assessments. Particular attention will be paid to serial hemoglobin and hematocrit measurements. * DVT, PE, thromboembolism, MI and stroke.
