long QT syndrome, or any of the following:
- Risk factors for Torsades de Pointe (TdP) including uncorrected hypokalemia or
hypomagnesemia, history of cardiac failure, or history of clinically
significant/symptomatic bradycardia.
- - Concomitant use of medication(s) with a known risk to prolong the QT interval
and/or known to cause Torsades de Pointe that cannot be discontinued (within 5

).
- - Child-Pugh score B or C.
- - History of non-compliance to medical regimen.

]
- - Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of
becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception
during dosing and for 3 months after the last dose of study treatment.
Highly
effective contraception methods include:
- - Total abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle
of the subject.
Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal,
post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of
contraception.
- - Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without
hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking study
treatment.
In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of
the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment.
- - Male sterilization (at least 6 months prior to screening) with the appropriate
post-vasectomy documentation of the absence of sperm in the ejaculate.
For
female subjects on the study the vasectomized male partner should be the sole
partner for that subject.
- - Use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception or
placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS), or
other forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure
rate <1%), for example hormone vaginal ring or transdermal hormone
contraception.
- - In case of use of oral contraception, women should have been stable on the same
pill for a minimum of 3 months before taking study treatment.
- - Note: Oral contraceptives are allowed but should be used in conjunction with a
barrier method of contraception due to unknown effect of drug-drug interaction.
- - Women are considered post-menopausal and not of child bearing potential if they have
had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical
profile (e.g. age appropriate history of vasomotor symptoms) or have had surgical
bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six
weeks ago.
In the case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of
the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment is she considered
not of child bearing potential.
- - Sexually active males unless they use a condom during intercourse while taking drug
and for 21 days after stopping treatment and should not father a child in this
period.
A condom is required to be used also by vasectomized men in order to prevent
delivery of the drug via seminal fluid.
