Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including but not limited to clinically significant cardiac disease (New York Heart Class III or IV); symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, unstable ventricular arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements 14.
