Investigators were to have also obtained assent of patients according to local, regional or national guidelines.
Key Exclusion for subjects:
The exclusion criteria followed those described for the core protocol CICl670F2201, which were as follows:
- Creatinine clearance below the contraindication limit in the locally approved prescribing information.
- Serum creatinine > 1.5 × upper limit of normal range (ULN) at Screening
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) > 5 × ULN,
- Significant proteinuria
- Patients with significant impaired gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal disease
- Clinical or laboratory evidence of active Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C
- Patients with psychiatric or addictive disorders
- Patients with a known history of HIV seropositivity (Elisa or Western blot).

- Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the study drug or excipients.
- Patients with significant medical condition that could interfere with the ability to participate in this study
- Patients who were participating in another clinical trial or receiving an investigational drug.
