* Is he unable to refrain from the use of all concomitant medications during the study?
* Has he donated or lost blood, or participated in a clinical study which involved the withdrawal of a large volume of blood (480 mL or more), during the six week period preceding study initiation?
* Has he donated plasma during the two week period preceding study initiation?
* Has he received an investigational drug during the 30 day period preceding study initiation? A yes answer to any of the above questions indicates that the individual is ineligible for enrollment
