Exclusion Criteria:

• History of, or current, clinically significant arrhythmias as judged by the Investigator, including ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, atrial fibrillation, and Torsades de Pointes. Patients with minor forms of ectopy (eg, premature atrial contractions) are not necessarily excluded.
• Clinically significant bradycardia with a resting heart rate under 50 beats per minute, sinus node dysfunction, or heart block.
• Prolonged heart rate-corrected QT interval using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) (QTcF >450 msec for males or QTcF >470 msec for females) based on the average of triplicate ECGs.
• A personal or family history of long QT syndrome, Torsades de pointes, or other complex ventricular arrhythmias or family history of sudden death.
• Evidence (based on Screening or Baseline assessments) or history of clinically significant immunologic, hematologic, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurologic, or allergic disease (including drug allergies); surgical conditions; cancer (with the exception of basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and cancer that resolved or has been in remission for >5 years prior to the Screening Visit); or any condition that, in the Investigator's opinion, might significantly interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the study drug.

• History or presence of any medical condition or psychiatric disease, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, could interfere with the conduct of the study or would put the patient at unacceptable risk.
