    7. Conjugated bilirubin < 1.5 × ULN
    8. AST <3 × ULN I. ALT <3 × ULN NOTE: Laboratory results obtained during screening should be used to determine eligibility criteria. In situations where laboratory results are outside the permitted range, the investigator may retest the subject and the subsequent within range screening result may be used to determine the subject's eligibility

11. Subjects with a history of Hepatitis B or C are eligible on the condition that subjects have adequate liver function as defined the protocol and are hepatitis B surface antigen negative and/or have undectable HCV RNA.

12. Has a QT interval corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) ≤480 msec

13. Subject must have regular bowel movements (minimum of 1 bowel movement every day or every other day; no more than 3 bowel movements per day) for the past 2 weeks without diarrhea (>4 bowel movements per day) or constipation (fewer than 3 bowel movements in 1 week). No known medical history of a disease or syndrome that affects bowel function (e.g., irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, etc.), fecal incontinence, and no history of significant opioid induced constipation within the past 3 months

14. Subject must have the ability to regularly void urine with no current evidence of urinary incontinence, urinary retention, uncorrected congenital defects that interfere with normal urinary system function, chronic urinary tract infections, or other conditions that may interfere with normal urinary bladder emptying.

Subjects with solitary kidney are excluded from the study

15. Male subjects must refrain from donating sperm starting at the planned first dose of study drug until 30 days following the last dose of study drug. Male subjects with a female partner of childbearing potential must be vasectomized, or remain abstinent or use a condom as defined in Section 8.3.8, starting at the planned first dose of study drug until 30 days following the last dose of study drug. The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female partners of male subjects who are of childbearing potential must also adhere to one of the following:

    • Placement of an intrauterine device or intrauterine system.
    • Established use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception.
    • Progesterone only oral contraception, where inhibition of ovulation is not the primary mode of action.
