Hepatitis B or hepatitis C testing indicating active/ongoing infection based on screening labs as defined as: a) Hepatitis B virus (HBV): Patients with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) are excluded. Patients with positive hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) and negative HBsAg require hepatitis B polymerase chain reaction (PCR) evaluation before randomization. Patients who are hepatitis B PCR positive will be excluded. b) Hepatitis C virus (HCV): positive hepatitis C antibody. If positive hepatitis C antibody result, patient will need to have a negative result for hepatitis C ribonucleic acid (RNA) before randomization. Patients who are hepatitis C RNA positive will be excluded. c) For optional crossover, repeat testing is not required. 14. Known active cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. Unknown or negative status eligible. 15.

Clinically significant active malabsorption syndrome or other condition likely to affect gastrointestinal (GI) absorption of the oral administered study treatments. 18.
