• Severe autoimmune diseases, myeloproliferative disorders, leukemia or lymphoma, malignant tumors, fractures, or severe scoliosis at screening, which the investigator considers would affect study evaluation.
• Positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) with HBV-DNA > upper limit of normal (if HBsAg is negative, HBV-DNA testing is not required); positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody with HCV-RNA > upper limit of normal (if anti-HCV is negative, HCV-RNA testing is not required); positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody; or positive Treponema pallidum test.

Laborértékek
