Rationale for Exclusion Criteria The exclusion criteria were established in order to properly assess the safety and efficacy of the study drug. a), b), c), d), e), f), g),n) : Established to ensure the safety of subjects. h), i), j) : Established due to possible pharmacokinetic effects. k), l), o) : Established to exclude the participation of persons who are likely to be unable to complete the study. m) : To prevent transmission of infection to the staff of the institution where the study was conducted and to the person in charge of the measurement.
