  • Untreated hypertension with a blood pressure of > 160/95 mmHg.
  • History of neoplastic disease within the past 5 years.
  • History of hypersensitivity to vildagliptin or other DPP4 inhibitors.
  • Had major surgery, or donated or lost 1 unit (500 mL) of blood, or participated in another investigational study within 4 weeks prior to screen.
