13. Received or used an investigational product (including placebo) or device within the following time period prior to the first dosing day in the current study: 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer).

Ltd., or HanAll Pharmaceutical Inc., or by a clinical trial site participating in this study, or a first-degree relative of a NurrOn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. or HanAll Pharmaceutical Inc., or HanAll Biopharma Co. Ltd. employee or of an employee at a participating clinical trial site.

32. Unsatisfactory venous access.

33. Unable to swallow oral capsules.
