Subject has a significant history of renal, neurologic, psychiatric, pulmonary, endocrinologic, metabolic, immunologic, cardiovascular, or hepatic disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would adversely affect his/her participation in this study. Any other medical or social condition deemed by the investigator to be likely to interfere with a subject's ability to participate in the study, place the subject at unacceptable risk or interfere with the interpretation of the results. For subjects who have required surgical intervention for any above diseases within the past 6 months, a discussion with the Investigator and the Medical Monitor is needed. 6.

For any subject with underlying RBBB or LBBB, cardiology review is needed to correct QTcF calculation using Sponsor recommended formula. 7.

A female subject is pregnant or breast-feeding. 10. Subject incapacity to swallow oral medications, with any malabsorption condition, known dysphagia, short-gut syndrome, gastroparesis, or other conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may limit the ingestion or gastrointestinal absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs administered orally. 11.

Subjects who are taking QT-prolonging drugs that are known to cause Torsades de Pointes (TdP) (See Appendix 17 for the list of medications that are associated with TdP). In the event a prohibited medication might cause TdP, the PI must first determine if the risk to benefit is in favor of the subject and then discuss with the Medical Monitor about that particular medication on a case-by-case basis. 14.
