  • Ulcerative colitis, or other gastrointestinal conditions with increased risk of perforation
  • History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra abdominal abscess within 28 days prior to beginning study treatment.

  • Prolongation of corrected QT interval (QTc) \> 500 milliseconds (msecs).
  • Severally impaired lung function as defined as spirometry and DLCO that is 50% of the normal predicted value and/or 0\^2 saturation that is 88% or less at rest on room air.
  • Poorly controlled diabetes as defined by fasting serum glucose \>2.0 x ULN.
  • Any active (acute or chronic) or uncontrolled infection/disorders that impair the ability to evaluate the patient or for the patient to complete the study.
