  • Renal impairment [GFR < 60mL/min].
  • Sjogren's syndrome.
  • A history of or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the patient's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the patient to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.
