These assessments may be repeated once, after a reasonable time period (but within the Screening period). * Subject has aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≥ 1.5 times the upper limit of the reference range at Screening.

If the ECG is abnormal an additional ECG can be carried out. If this also gives an abnormal result, the subject must be excluded. * Subject has a history of myocardial infarction (within 6 months of Screening), unexplained syncope, cardiac arrest, unexplained cardiac arrhythmias or torsade de pointes, structural heart disease or a family history of Long QT Syndrome. * Subject has evidence of any clinically significant, uncontrolled cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, endocrinologic (low thyroid stimulating hormone \[TSH\], but euthyroid is allowed), hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, infectious, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary (including obstructive sleep apnea not controlled by a continuous positive airway pressure device) neurologic, dermatologic, psychiatric, renal and/or other major disease (exclusive of fibromyalgia). * Subject has planned surgery during the study participation. * Subject has an active malignancy or a history of malignancy (except for treated nonmelanoma skin cancer) within 5 years of Screening. * Subject has a positive drug or alcohol test at Screening, Baseline Diary Run-In or prior to Randomization.
