Exclusion Criteria:

- Cardiac exclusions; Patients with any preexisting uncontrolled cardiac condition.

permitted during the study. A comprehensive list can be found at http://torsades.org.

- Presence of any chronic medical condition or comorbidity such as pulmonary disease,
active CNS disease, active infection, psychiatric condition, or laboratory
abnormality that may increase the risks associated with study participation/study
drug administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results.
