Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Is unable to take oral medication or malabsorption syndromes potentially interfering with medication absorption (e.g., short bowel syndrome or chronic, partial bowel obstruction)
  2. Has history or presence of clinically significant abnormal 12 lead ECG results, in the investigator's opinion
