Exclusion Criteria

• •Asian or Polynesian subjects in Western subject groups.
• •Any condition possibly affecting drug absorption (e.g., gastrectomy, active peptic ulcer within last 3 months).

• •Subjects who, by history, smoke more than 5 cigarettes per day.
• •Treatment with an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) preceding the first dose of study medication.
• •12-lead ECG demonstrating QTc \>450 msec at screening. If QTc exceeds 450 msec, the ECG may be repeated two more times and the average of the three QTc values should be used to determine the subject's eligibility.
• •Pregnant or nursing females; females of childbearing potential who are unwilling or unable to use an acceptable method of nonhormonal contraception as outlined in this protocol from at least 14 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
