A helminth parasitic infection diagnosed during a predecessor study that has either required hospitalization, has not been treated, has been incompletely treated or has failed to respond to standard of care therapy. 3. Any clinically significant change in physical examination, vital signs, ECG, hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis during the predecessor study which in the opinion of the investigator may put the patient at risk because of his/her participation in the study, or may influence the results of the study, or interfere with the patient’s ability to complete the entire duration of the study. 4.
