12. Moderate or severe renal impairment based on the medical records and/or glomerular filtration rate < 50 mL/min determined by Cockroft-Gault formula and/or blood creatinine level > 133 μmol/L at screening.
13. A positive test result for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
