18. Has received another new chemical entity (defined as a compound which has not been approved for marketing) within 3 months of the first administration of IMP in this study. The period of exclusion begins 3 months after the final dose or one month after the last visit whichever is the longest.
19. Positive screen for drugs of abuse or cotinine at Screening or on each admission to the clinical unit or positive screen for alcohol on each admission to the clinical unit.
20. Use of saxagliptin, dapagliflozin and/or metformin within 3 months prior to the first administration of IMP.
21. Use of any prescription drugs or over the counter acid controllers within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of IMP except medication cleared by the medical monitor.
22. Use of drugs with enzyme-inducing properties such as St John's Wort within 3 weeks prior to the first administration of IMP.
