Evidence of serious lung conditions other than TB or uncontrolled obstructive bronchial disease.~19. The patient has clinically relevant changes in the ECG such as atrioventricular (AV) block, prolongation of the QRS complex over 120 milliseconds, or of either the QTcF or QTcB interval over 450 milliseconds on the screening ECG.~20. There is any evidence showing that the patient has renal impairment, including but not limited to serum creatinine levels above the upper limit of the laboratory reference range.~21. The patient has abnormal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspertate transferase (AST) levels \> 1 times the upper limit of the laboratory reference range (at Visit 1).~22. There is evidence showing the patient has clinically significant metabolic, gastrointestinal, neurological, psychiatric or endocrine diseases, malignancy, or other abnormalities (other than the indication being studied).~23. The patient has any disease or condition in which any of the medicinal products listed in the section pertaining to prohibited medication is used.~24. The patient has a known or suspected, current or history of drug or amphetamine abuse, within the past 2 years, that is, in the opinion of the Investigator, sufficient to compromise the safety or cooperation of the patient.~25.
