Type I or Type II diabetes
Malignancy in the last 5 years, with the exception of nonmetastatic basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or localized carcinoma in situ of the cervix
Currently taking prescription (except as listed in Section 7.4.1) or over-the-counter medications including herbal therapies, within 14 days of enrollment into the study.

Received another investigational drug or device within 30 days of enrollment in this study
Previously participated in this study
Psychiatric disease including major depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, or schizophrenia, or other medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with the evaluation of study drug safety
For subjects in lumbar catheter Groups (6 and 7) has a history of excessive bleeding after invasive procedures or surgery or known coagulation or platelet abnormality, or has been on any blood thinner or medication affecting platelet function, such as aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroids (except topical) or warfarin within the 7 days prior to enrollment, or has known allergy to any anesthetic agent that may be used for the lumbar puncture.
For subjects in lumbar catheter Groups (6 and 7) has a history of infection that required IV antibiotics within the 45 days or oral antibiotics within 30 days prior to enrollment, and, at the time of clinic admission, be febrile or have signs/symptoms consistent with an infection.
For subjects in lumbar catheter Groups (6 and 7) has a history of or physical examination evidence of a lumbar spine abnormality that may preclude placement of a spinal catheter, presence of intraspinal shunt devices (e.g. ventriculoperitoneal shunt), or history of elevated intracranial pressure, normal pressure hydrocephalus, or other neurological condition that in the opinion of the Investigator precludes safe study participation.
In the opinion of the Investigator, the Safety Monitor, or the Sponsor Study Monitor, has a history of severe renal or hepatic impairment, severe active hepatic disease, or other clinically significant medical condition that may preclude safe study participation.
