Subject has a history or family history of QT prolongation, arrhythmia, or uncontrolled hypertension. 8. Subject has a history of seizure, head injury, neurosurgery or brain trauma, or a family history of non-traumatic seizure. 9. Subject is positive for hepatitis C antibodies at screening, or hepatitis B surface antigen or HIV at screening. 10.
