6 week treatment period. The study will consist of screening, treatment, and end of study
visits.

to at least 14 days after the last dose of study drug has been taken.

- Subject must be in general good health (defined as the absence of any clinically

values (hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis). Note: If any of the hematology,
chemistry, or urinalysis results are not within the laboratory's reference range,
then the subject may be included only if the investigator determines the deviations
to be not clinically relevant.
