Laborértékek

• Medical Comorbidities: Presence of severe medical illnesses, such as:
  • Cardiac insufficiency Class II or higher (NYHA criteria);
  • Ischemic heart disease (e.g., myocardial infarction or angina pectoris);
  • Clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias;
  • Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) \<50% as determined by echocardiogram;
  • QTc interval \>450 msec for males or \>470 msec for females;
  • Abnormal Electrocardiogram(ECG) findings that the Investigator considers to pose an additional risk for the investigational drug.
