Clinically significant abnormal physical and/or laboratory findings at Screening
Abnormal serum chemistry values at screening or admission, that indicate liver or kidney dysfunction or that may be considered clinically significant as determined by the PI, except for bilirubin >24 μmol/L and ALT, AST, GGT and ALP 2-fold above the upper limit of normal. Volunteers with known Gilbert's syndrome will be excluded if total bilirubin is ≥1.5 x ULN.
Evidence of renal impairment at screening, as indicated by an estimated eGFR of <80 mL/min/1.73 m2 using the 2021 CKD-EPI Creatinine Equation (https://www.kidney.org/professionals/kdoqi/gfr_calculator) .
