5. Impaired hepatic function (as indicated by any of the following):

   1. Serum total bilirubin \> 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
   2. Alanine amino transferase and/or aspartate amino transferase \> 2.5 x ULN
   3. Alkaline phosphatase \> 2.5 x ULN

9. Known history of drug-specific hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis to study drug (including active product or excipient components).
10. Active bleeding, history of bleeding diathesis (eg, hemophilia or von Willebrand disease).
11. Uncontrolled AIHA (autoimmune hemolytic anemia) or ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura).

19. Known history of infection with HIV or any active uncontrolled systemic infection
20. Hepatitis B or C serologic status: subjects who are hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) positive and who are surface antigen negative will need to have a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Those who are hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) positive or hepatitis B PCR positive will be excluded.
