Subjects with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in whom sinus rhythm is restored may be re-screened at a later date. 8) Known or suspected infiltrative myocardial disease or glycogen storage disorder 9) Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 36 kg/m2 10) Severe renal impairment at Screening (defined as an estimated GFR < 30 mL/min/1.73m2 as calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] equation by the central laboratory) 11) Abnormal liver function tests at Screening, defined as ALT or AST > 2xULN, or total bilirubin > 1.5xULN 12) Known or suspected history of seizures or epilepsy 13) Use of Class I antiarrhythmic drugs, including disopyramide, within 7 days prior to Screening 14) Use of ranolazine within 7 days prior to Screening 15) Use of concomitant treatment with drugs or products that are strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A within 5- half-lives prior to Screening 16) Known hypersensitivity to study drug (GS-6615 or placebo), its metabolites, or formulation excipient 17) Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Lactating females must agree to discontinue nursing before the study drug is administered. A negative serum pregnancy test at Screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at Randomization visit are required for female subjects of childbearing potential. 18) In the judgment of the investigator, any clinically significant ongoing medical condition that might jeopardize the subject’s safety or interfere with the study, including participation in another investigational drug or investigational device study within the 30 days prior to Screening with potential residual effects that might confound the results of this study 19) Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude compliance with the study protocol |
