  • Currently being administered antihypertensive drugs other than ACE inhibitors (e.g., ARBs) that cannot be withheld on the day of apheresis until after the procedure
  • Medical condition or disorder that would limit life expectancy to less than the primary clinical study endpoint or that may cause noncompliance with the study plan or confound the data analysis
