9. For female subjects:

   a. Women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) fulfilling one of the following criteria: i. WOCBP with fertile male partners: they and/or their partner must be willing to use at least an acceptable effective birth control method from the signature of the informed consent and until follow up contact; or ii. WOCBP with non-fertile male partners (contraception is not required in this case); b. Female subjects of non-childbearing potential defined as physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant. Tubal ligation or partial surgical interventions are not acceptable;

   Healthy subjects only:

10. Good mental and physical status, determined on the basis of the medical history and a general clinical examination;
11. Blood pressure within normal limits at screening and prior to study treatment administration: diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 40-89 mmHg and systolic blood pressure (SBP) 90-139 mmHg, extremes included;
12. Serum creatinine within the normal range and an eGFR ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 as determined by the MDRD equation;

13. Matched to at least one renal impaired subject enrolled in the study with respect to age (±10 years), gender, race and body weight (±15%);

    Renal impaired subjects only:

14. Good mental status, determined on the basis of the medical history and a general clinical examination;
15. Blood pressure at screening and prior to study treatment administration: DBP 40 100 mmHg and SBP 90 170 mmHg, extremes included;

16. Subjects must have a chronic stable renal disease based on the medical history, physical examination, and clinical laboratory results:

    1. "Chronic" is defined as > 6 months;
    2. "Stable" is defined as the absence of significant progression and/or deterioration of the renal disease for the past 12 weeks (fluctuations in creatinine levels within ±20% in the last 12 weeks are accepted); Subjects may have concurrent stable medical conditions in addition to renal impairment, but may be included only if the Investigator, in consultation with the Sponsor's Clinical Research Physician, considers that the condition will not introduce an additional risk factor, and will not interfere with the study objectives and procedures (e.g. subjects with stable diabetes or essential hypertension may be included);
17. Subjects with renal impairment must have the following absolute eGFR values as determined by the MDRD equation: mild renal impairment must have an absolute eGFR of ≥ 60 to < 90 mL/min/1.73 m2; moderate renal impairment must have an absolute eGFR of ≥ 30 to < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; severe renal impairment must have an absolute eGFR of < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 not requiring dialysis.
