• Subject has any clinically significant abnormality following the investigator's review of the physical examination, ECG and protocol defined clinical laboratory tests at screening or day -1.
• Subject uses any inducer of metabolism (e.g., barbiturates, rifampin) in the 3 months prior to admission to the clinical unit.
