2. Pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy (both men and women) within 9 months of enrolment.
3. Screening laboratory tests:
a) haemoglobin ≤ 8.0 gm/dl
b)white blood cells ≤ 3.0 x103 cells/µl
c)neutrophils ≤ 1.5 x 103 cells/µl

9. Known history or evidence of malignancy, lymphoproliferative or neoplastic disease
10. with the exception of successfully treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.
11. Subjects who have undergone organ transplant (with exception of a corneal transplant more than 3 months prior to screening).
12. Subjects previously enrolled in this study, currently participating in another investigational study or treated with any investigational drug within the previous 3 months or within 5 half-lives, whichever is greater, prior to first study dose.
13. Any other clinically significant disease or disorder or factors such as substance abuse which in the opinion of the investigator make the subject ineligible for participation in this study.
