23. Any other history of clinically significant and ongoing chronic respiratory disease, gastrointestinal disease, liver disease, renal disease, endocrine disorder or any other medical or psychiatric condition that in the opinion of the Investigator will significantly increase the safety risk for the subject or confound the interpretation of the study data.
