  • Chronic or relevant acute infections (e.g. HIV, Hepatitis)
  • History of relevant allergy/hypersensitivity (including allergy to drug or its excipients)
  • Intake of drugs with a long half-life (> 24 hours) within at least one month or less than 10 half-lives of the respective drug prior to administration or during the trial except allowed co-medication
