please see appendix 6 for a list. 14.are currently enrolled in, or discontinued from, a clinical trial involving an investigational product or non-approved drug within the last 4 weeks or at least 5 half-lives of the last dosing, if the half-life of the investigational product or non-approved drug is greater than 5 days; or concurrently enrolled in any other types of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study. 15.live vaccination during the course of the study, or have participated in a vaccine clinical trial within 12 weeks prior to randomization. investigators should review the vaccination status of the subjects and follow the local guidelines for adult vaccination with non-live vaccines intended to prevent infectious disease prior to administration of study drug. 16.co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus (hiv), hepatitis c virus (hcv) or hepatitis d virus (hdv). • subjects who are hcv ab positive, but have a documented negative hcv rna, are eligible. 17.abnormal clinical laboratory values at screening that, in the opinion of the investigator, pose an unacceptable risk to the subject or of interfering with the interpretation of study results if participating in the study. 18.pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive human chorionic gonadotropin laboratory test at screening or at days -7 to -4. 19.have any other condition that precludes the subject from following and completing the protocol in the opinion of the investigator. 20.significant history or clinical manifestation of any metabolic, allergic, dermatologic, hepatic, renal, hematologic, pulmonary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, respiratory, endocrine, retinal, or psychiatric disorder, as determined by the investigator (or designee). 21.history of stomach or intestinal surgery or resection that would potentially alter absorption and/or excretion of orally administered drugs (uncomplicated appendectomy and hernia repair will be allowed). 22.use or intend to use any nonprescription medications or products including vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements (ie, traditional chinese medicine), protein powders or fish oils preparations within 7 days prior to screening, considered to potentially impact subject safety or the objectives of the study, as determined by the investigator (or designee). 23.alcohol consumption of \>21 units per week for males and \>14 units for females. one unit of alcohol equals 12 oz (360 ml) beer, 1½ oz (45 ml) liquor, or 5 oz (150 ml) wine. 24.ingestion of seville orange or grapefruit-containing foods or beverages within 7 days prior to screening.
