- Bilirubin >1.5 times ULN (isolated bilirubin >1.5 times ULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin < 35 percent (%)
- Current or chronic history of liver disease, or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones)
- Evidence of renal insufficiency, indicated by estimated creatinine clearance < 60 millilitre/ minute (mL/min)/1.73 m^2 at screening.
