- Adequate hepatic function as evidenced by: Serum total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL;
Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2X the ULN for the reference lab; SGOT/SGPT ≤ 2X the ULN for
the reference lab.

- Women of childbearing potential must agree to use an effective form of contraception
during the study and for 90 days following treatment (an effective form of
contraception is an oral contraceptive or a double barrier method). Women who are NOT
of childbearing potential are those who have undergone a bilateral oophorectomy or

(investigational therapy is defined as treatment for which there is currently no

(101.3 ºF) within 3 days of the first scheduled day of dosing.
