Have received treatment with an experimental drug within 30 days of entering the study.
If on metformin, have a condition that is not recommended to be exposed to metformin, or any condition associated with hypoperfusion, hypoxemia, dehydration, or sepsis.
If on metformin, have had a radiologic contrast study performed within 48 hours of entering the study.
