alkaline phosphatase (ALP) or total bilirubin (Tbil) >2 × ULN at screening
Note: Patients with Gilbert’s Syndrome are eligible to participate if approved by the medical monitor.
Note: Patients with abnormalities in 2 or more of the following clinical laboratory parameters must be approved for enrollment by the medical monitor: AST, ALT, ALP, and Tbil.
p. Patient has evidence of clinically significant renal impairment, indicated by a serum creatinine >1.5 × ULN at screening.
q. Patient has received a monoamine oxidase inhibitor within 14 days of the day 1 visit.
r. Patient has a known allergy to any of the components of the IMP.
s. Patient has participated in an investigational drug or device study (with the exception of Study SD 809 C 17 or Study TV50717-CNS 30046 or Study TV50717-CNS 30060) and received IMP/intervention within 30 days.
t. The patient is a pregnant or lactating female, or has plans to become pregnant during the study.
u. Patient has a history of or acknowledges alcohol-related disorder in the previous 12 months, as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-V™).
