Exclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria

  15. Patient has any other medical, psychiatric, or social condition, including substance abuse, that in the opinion of the Investigator would preclude compliance with the requirements of this study.

Patient has a QTcF (QT corrected based on Fridericia's equation) interval > 480 msec (CTCAE = Grade 2) or other factors that increase the risk of QT prolongation or arrhythmic events (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of long QT interval syndrome) at screening. (Patients with bundle branch block and a prolonged QTc interval should be reviewed by the Medical Monitor for potential inclusion.)
  21. Patient has dyspnea at rest (CTCAE ≥ Grade 3) or has required supplemental oxygen within 2 weeks of study enrollment.
