Medications which have a known and clinically significant risk of QT prolongation may be allowed per investigator discretion. 9. Patients who have had a history of acute diverticulitis, intra-abdominal abscess, GI obstruction and abdominal carcinomatosis which are known risk factors for bowel perforation, and in the judgment of the investigator still pose an active risk.
