15. No clinically significant laboratory abnormalities as determined by the Principal Investigator, in consultation with the Sponsor's Medical Monitor
16. No active infection
17. Have signed written informed consent before undergoing any study related procedures and is willing to comply with all study procedures

Exclusion Criteria:
