  • Subject currently has, or has a history of, any significant cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal, metabolic, autoimmune, rheumatic, hematological, neurological, or neurodevelopmental disorder
  • Subject has a disease, or is currently undergoing a form of treatment, or was undergoing a form of treatment within 30 days prior to study entry, that could be expected to influence immune response
