Exposure to any investigational agent within four (4) weeks prior to Visit 1.\n18. Subjects planning to undergo surgery during the study period or up to 1 month after the study\n19. Any serious psychiatric disease or disorder, which, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude the subject from participating in the study.\n20.
