Positive HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C serological result. 20. Evidence of malignancy, lung infection, or abnormalities suggestive of active TB on chest radiography (x-ray or computed tomography) performed within 12 weeks before the screening visit or during the screening period. 21. Significant medical problems as defined in the protocol. 22. Any history of malignancy or lymphoproliferative disease at any time, except curative treatment for nonmelanoma skin cancer or resected carcinoma in situ of the cervix. 23. Have a transplanted organ/tissue or stem cell transplantation. 24.
