17. QTcF interval >450 msec for males and >470 for females or history of prolonged QT syndrome at screening or check-in (Day -1).
18. Calculated creatinine clearance less than 80 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault method) at screening or check-in (Day -1).

19. Subjects who have any clinically significant abnormalities on laboratory values at screening or check-in (Day -1), in particular:

    1. White blood cell count < 3,000/mm3, hemoglobin < 11g/dL.
    2. Absolute neutrophil count < 1,200/mm3 or platelet count < 120,000/mm3.
    3. Liver function abnormalities at screening or check-in (Day -1) (defined by an elevation in bilirubin, AST or ALT 1.5 x ULN of the normal range for subjects based on age and sex).
