- Patient has had prior treatment with a known poly polymerase inhibitor
- Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- Pregnant, breast feeding or expecting to conceive children while receiving study treatment and for 180 days after the last dose of study treatment. There is a potential for congenital abnormalities and for this regimen to harm breast feeding infants.
