• Administration of an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, preceding the first dose of investigational product in the study. Concurrent participation in another interventional clinical trial or administration of any investigational drug during the study is also not permitted.
• A known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction or idiosyncrasy that, in the opinion of the Investigator is due to drugs chemically related to eltrombopag
