significant bleeding after surgery, childbirth, or dental extraction.

12. Patients with documented invasion of adjacent organs by CT scan (e.g. stomach,
duodenum) are not eligible

13. Patients known to have esophageal varicose are not eligible

14. Known history of a congenital coagulation factor deficiency.

15. Known acquired or hereditary platelet disorder.

16. Known history of immunodeficiency.

17. Women of child-bearing potential or sexually active men, unwilling to use adequate
contraceptive protection during the course of the study.

18. Pregnant or lactating women (female patients of childbearing potential must have a

4. Alkaline phosphatase > 5 x ULN.

5. Albumin < 2.0g/dL.

6. Hemoglobin < 9.0 g/dL.

25. QTc prolongation (defined as a QTc ≥ 450 msec) or other significant ECG abnormalities
including 2nd degree AV block type II, 3rd degree AV block, or bradycardia

the ECGs can be submitted for a centralized, cardiologic evaluation and if determined
to be < 450 msec then the patient is eligible.
