  • 3.No planned absences from work, other than rest days, for the duration the subject will be in the study.
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • Number of subjects for this age range:
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
  • F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
  • F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no

排除标准

  • 1.Have a clinically significant unstable medical abnormality, chronic disease or history or presence of significant neurological, hepatic, renal, endocrine, cardiovascular, GI, pulmonary, psychiatric, metabolic disease or malignancy or other clinically relevant abnormality which in the opinion of the investigator would preclude successful participation in the study.

  • 7.Subjects with a known history of impaired hepatic or renal function defined as transaminases > 2X the upper limit of normal or creatinine clearance of <35ml/min.
  • 8.Subjects with a known severe allergic or auto-immune disease (e.g. multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, severe asthma and systemic lupus erythematosus).
  • 9.Subjects who have received an experimental drug within the previous 3 months.
