17. Patients known to be HIV-positive
18. Patients with active, uncontrolled infections (patients successful treated with antimicrobial therapy may be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator).
19. Patient is receiving chronic treatment with systemic steroids or another immuno-suppressive agent at start of study treatment.

24. Patient is a woman of child-bearing potential, UNLESS they are using a double barrier method for birth control throughout the trial.
1. Hormonal contraceptives may be affected by cytochrome P450 interactions, and are therefore considered neither indicated nor effective.
2. Adequate barrier methods of contraception include: diaphragm, condom (by the partner), intrauterine device (copper), sponge or spermicide.
3. Reliable contraception has to be maintained throughout the study and for 12 weeks after study drug discontinuation.
4. Women are considered post-menopausal and not of child bearing potential if they have had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile (e.g., age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms) or six months of spontaneous amenorrhea with serum FSH levels \> 40 mIU/mL or have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) at least six weeks ago. In the case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment is she considered not of child bearing potential
25. Sexually active males unless they agree to use a condom during intercourse while taking the drug. This practice should be continued for another 12 weeks after stopping treatment. Also they should not father a child during the study period or the 12 weeks post study time.
A condom is also required to be used by vasectomized men in order to prevent delivery of the drug via seminal fluid;
26. Medical, psychiatric, cognitive or other conditions that may compromise the patient's ability to understand the patient information, give informed consent, comply with the study protocol or complete the study.
27. Patients taking non-topical medication known to be a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4. However patients who either discontinue their treatment or switch to another medication at least three days prior to registration are eligible.
28. Participation in other clinical trials within 1 month prior to enrolment except patients for supportive care studies and vaccination studies. This does not include long-term follow-up periods without active drug treatment of previous studies during the last 6 months.
29. Patient has other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition that would, in the investigator's judgment contraindicate her participation in the clinical study (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, active chronic hepatitis ).
No subject will be allowed to be enrolled in this trial more than once.
