  • Indicate non-child bearing status by one of the following criteria:

Indication of successful hysterectomy. No spontaneous menses for al least 1 year, must have luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) levels within postmenopausal range.

Indication of successful bilateral oophorectomy.

  • Body weight within 20% of the appropriate weight for the subject's height and frame (as published in the 1983 Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Scale, Statistical Bureau)

Serum HCG consistent with pregnancy.

  • No significant disease or clinically significant findings in a physical examination.
  • No clinically significant findings in vital signs measurements and a 12-lead electrocardiogram(ECG)
  • Subjects who have received leflunomide within 4 months must have an A77-1726(Metabolite) level below 0.01ug/ml and no subsequent administration of leflunomide since that test. Note: The 30 day screening limit does not apply to this inclusion criterion.
