    1. PR≥210ms
    2. QRS≥120ms
    3. QT≥500ms
    4. QTcF≥450ms(male) or QTcF≥470ms(female)

13. Positive urine screen for drugs of abuse.

14. Any clinically significant abnormal findings in urinalysis (may repeat once) at screening, as judged by the investigator.

15. Glucosuria at screening.

16. Abnormal liver function tests (alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST], or total bilirubin > 10% above upper limit of normal [ULN]).

17. Elevated serum creatinine (> ULN).

18. Positive blood screen for HIV antibody , Syphilis antibody, hepatitis C antibody , or Hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) or only Hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) in Hepatitis B serologic test.

25. Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to AstraZeneca staff or staff at the study site).

26. Previous enrolled or randomized in the present study.

27. For women only - currently pregnant (confirmed with positive pregnancy test) or breastfeeding.

28. Judgment by the investigator that the participant should not participate in the study if the participant is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions, and requirements.
