history, physical examination or laboratory evaluations, conducted at the screening
visit or on admission to the clinic.
- Have a normal 12-lead electrocardiogram, without any clinically significant
abnormalities of rate, rhythm or conduction and including normal QTc segment time,

gastrointestinal, hepatic, or central nervous system; or other conditions that may
interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of study drug, or
would place the subject at increased risk.
- The presence of abnormal laboratory values which are considered clinically
significant.
- Positive screen for Hepatitis B (HbsAg, Hepatitis B Surface Antigen), Hepatitis C
(anti HCV, Hepatitis C Antibody), or HIV (anti-HIV 1/2).
- Received an investigational drug within a period of 30 days prior to enrollment in the
study.
- Received any drug therapy within 2 weeks prior to administration of the first dose of
any study-related treatment. This exclusion is extended to 4 weeks for any drugs known
to induce or inhibit hepatic drug metabolism.
- Consumption of alcohol within 48 hours prior to dose administration or during any
in-patient period.
- A positive urine drug screen including ethanol, cocaine, THC, barbiturates,
amphetamines, benzodiazepines, and opiates.
- Any history of alcohol abuse, illicit drug use (use of soft drugs [such as marijuana]
within 3 months prior to screening visit or hard drugs [such as cocaine, phencyclidine
[PCP] and crack] within 1 year prior to the screening visit), significant mental
illness, physical dependence to any opioid, or any history of drug abuse or
addiction.
- A history of difficulty with donating blood.
- Donation of plasma (500 mL) within 7 days prior to drug administration. Donation or
loss of whole blood (excluding the volume of blood that will be drawn during the
screening procedures of this study) prior to administration of the study medication as
follows: 50 mL to 499 mL of whole blood within 30 days, or more than 499 mL of whole
blood within 56 days prior to drug administration.
