          5. All females, regardless of childbearing potential, must have a negative serum beta
             human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test at Screening and on admission.

          6. In good health, determined by no clinically significant or relevant abnormalities
             identified by a detailed medical history & full physical examination.

          7. No known history of hypersensitivity or previous intolerance to lomitapide.

          8. Subjects must be capable of understanding and complying with the requirements of the
             protocol and must have signed the informed consent form prior to undergoing any

        Exclusion Criteria:

          1. Subject has a clinically significant disease or any condition or disease that might
             affect drug absorption, distribution or excretion.

          2. History of stomach or intestinal surgery or resection that would potentially alter
             absorption and/or excretion of orally administered drugs.

          3. Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory, vital signs or other safety findings
             as determined by medical history, physical examination or other evaluations.

          9. Use of any drugs of abuse within 6 months prior to admission.

         10. Confirmed positive results from urine drug screen (amphetamines, benzodiazepines,
             cocaine, cannabinoids, opiates, barbiturates and methadone) or from the alcohol breath
             test at screening and on admission (Day -1).

             admission.

         12. Mentally handicapped.

         13. Participation in a drug trial within 90 days prior to first drug administration.

             the exception of the oral contraceptive pill.

         15. Use of any substance inducing or inhibiting CYP3A4 enzymes within 30 days prior to
