  • History of ischemic optic neuropathy (eye damage from poor blood flow).
  • Diagnosis of sleep apnea. Diagnostic Tests
  • Positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
  • Positive test for hepatitis B or C (exceptions apply for prior vaccination or resolved infection).
  • Abnormal vital signs: average blood pressure > 140/90 mmHg or < 90/50 mmHg, or heart rate > 110 or < 40 bpm.
  • Abnormal ECG findings at screening or check-in, including:
  • QTcF > 450 ms (males) or > 470 ms (females).
  • QRS > 120 ms, PR > 220 ms, AV block (2nd or 3rd degree).
  • Findings that make QTc measurement unreliable.
  • Risk factors for dangerous arrhythmias (eg, heart failure, low potassium, long QT syndrome).
  • Clinically significant arrhythmias. Medications
  • Use of drugs that affect absorption, metabolism, or elimination within 30 days of dosing.
  • Use of drugs known to prolong QT/QTc within 30 days of dosing.
  • Use of prescription drugs (other than hormone replacement or contraception) within 14 days of dosing.
  • Use of long-acting/slow-release medicines still active within 14 days of dosing.
  • Use of non-prescription products (vitamins, supplements, herbal products) within 7 days of dosing.
  • Use of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) or glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists/antagonists within 3 months of check-in.

Other Clinical Trial Experience

  • Participation in another investigational drug trial within 30 days or 5 drug half-lives (whichever is longer).
