* History of malignancy within the past 2 years.
* A history of glaucoma or any other findings in the baseline eye exam
* Current life-threatening condition other than vascular disease that may prevent a subject from completing the study
* QTc interval ≥450msec at screening or ≥480 msec for subjects with bundle branch block
* History of drug abuse within the past 6 months
* Previous exposure to rilapladib.
* Contraindication to MRI scanning
