3. Has a prescription dry body weight =20 kg and =100 kg.

2. Planned or anticipated to receive a kidney transplant during the study. Note: Being on a kidney transplant list is not an exclusion criterion.
3. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) greater than 2.5 × the reference upper limit of normal (ULN), or bilirubin greater than 4 × the ULN at screening.
4. Subject has known hypersensitivity to the study drug or any components of the difelikefalin formulation.
5. Known history of allergic reaction to opiates such as hives. Note: Side effects related to the use of opioids such as constipation or nausea would not exclude the subjects from the study.
