5. Subject has a history (or family history) of long QT syndrome.
6. Subject has coronary artery disease with an ischemic event within 6 months prior to screening.
7. Subject has a permanent cardiac pacemaker.

17. Subject has uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, in the judgment of the Investigator.
18. Subject has any other condition or laboratory abnormality or receives any other treatment(s) that may increase the risk associated with study participation or may interfere with the interpretation of study results in the judgment of the Investigator.
