• •11. Patient has had major surgery within 14 days prior to starting study treatment or has not recovered from major side effects
• •12. Patient is currently receiving or has received systemic corticosteroids ≤2 weeks prior to starting study treatment, or has not fully recovered from side effects of such treatment
• •13. Patients with an established diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type I or not controlled type II, or documented steroid induced diabetes mellitus
