5. Pregnancy, lactation, or a positive serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) measured during screening
6. Clinically relevant hepatic, neurological, pulmonary, ophthalmological, endocrine, psychiatric or other major systemic disease making implementation or interpretation of the study difficult or that would put the patient at risk
7. Clinically relevant cardiovascular conditions, including history or presence of:
i. Recent (within the last 6 months) occurrence of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, transient ischemic attack, decompensated heart failure requiring hospitalization, Class III/IV heart failure, sick sinus syndrome, or severe untreated sleep apnea
ii. Prolonged QTcF interval (QTcF > 450 msec males, > 470 msec females), or at additional risk for QT prolongation (e.g., hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, congenital long-QT syndrome, concurrent therapy with QT prolonging drugs)
iii. Patients with other pre-existing stable cardiac conditions who have not been cleared for the study by an appropriate cardiac evaluation by a cardiologist
8. Resting HR less than 55 beats per minute (bpm) when taking vitals as part of a physical exam at Screening
9. History of diabetes mellitus type 1, or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus type 2 with hemoglobin A1c > 7%, or diabetic patients with significant co-morbid conditions such as retinopathy or nephropathy
10. History of uveitis
11. Known active bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial infection or other infection (including TB or atypical mycobacterial disease [excluding fungal infection of nail beds]) or any major episode of infection that required hospitalization/treatment with intravenous (IV) antibiotics within 30 days or oral antibiotics within 14 days prior to screening
12. History of recurrent or chronic infection (e.g., hepatitis B or C, human immunodeficiency virus, syphilis, TB); recurring urinary tract infections are allowed
13. History of cancer, including solid tumors and hematological malignancies (except basal cell and in situ squamous cell carcinomas of the skin that have been excised and resolved)
