Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Patient is 18 to 80 years of age, inclusive.
-
Patient is scheduled to undergo open bowel resection.
-
Female patients must be postmenopausal (for at least 1 year), surgically sterile, practicing true sexual abstinence, OR must be using adequate contraception (in the opinion of the investigator) for the duration of the study, including the follow-up period (e.g. contraceptive implants, injectables, oral contraceptives, some intrauterine devices [IUD], and/or barrier method (condom or occlusive cap) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository).
-
Hormonal and IUD methods of contraception must be established for a period of 3 months prior to dosing and, if changed, alternative methods should be used as directed by the investigator throughout the duration of the study.
-
Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and admission
After surgery and prior to administration of the first dose of study drug, the following eligibility criteria must be assessed:
-
Patient underwent open bowel resection.
-
Patient has given written informed consent

-
Patient is anticipated to require prolonged post-operative ventilation.
-
