  • History of weight-loss surgery or current aggressive diet regimen (according to investigator assessment) at Visit 1A and until Visit 2
  • Treatment with systemic corticosteroids for \> 1 week within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1A and up to Visit 2 Inhaled or topical use of corticosteroids (e.g. for asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is acceptable.
  • Change in dose of thyroid hormones within 6 weeks prior to Visit 1A or planned change or initiation of such therapy before Visit 2
