Más betegség

Laborértékek

• Any clinically significant abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of the resting electrocardiogram (ECG) and any clinically significant abnormalities in the 12-lead ECG as considered by the Investigator that may interfere with the interpretation of QTc interval changes.
