  5. Presence of any clinically significant, uncontrolled endocrine disease
  6. Any clinically significant abnormality identified at the time of screening that, in the judgment of the investigator or any sub-investigator, would preclude safe completion of the study or constrain endpoints assessment
  7. Systolic blood pressure >160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >100 mmHg
  8. History of heart failure
  9. Within 3 months of screening, a history of myocardial infarction (MI), unstable angina leading to hospitalization, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, carotid surgery or stenting, stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), carotid revascularization, endovascular procedure, or surgical intervention for peripheral vascular disease
  10. Significant concomitant illness including, but not limited to: cardiac, renal, neurological, endocrinological, hepatic, metabolic, or lymphatic disease, that would adversely affect the patient's participation in the study
