Females of childbearing potential are all those except women who are surgically sterile, who have medically documented ovarian failure, or who are at least 1 year postmenopausal.
  • For female patients:
• Progestin-based hormonal contraception (implant, injection, oral) associated with inhibition of ovulation for ≥ 3 months before screening. Use of a progestin-based implant or injection method requires the additional use of a barrier method (use of condom [male partner] or diaphragm with spermicide or cervical cap with spermicide) from screening. Use of a progestin-only, oral method requires the additional use of double barrier methods (use of condom [male partner] with either diaphragm with spermicide or cervical cap with spermicide) from screening, or
• Intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) in place ≥ 3 months before screening AND a barrier method (use of condom [male partner] or diaphragm with spermicide or cervical cap with spermicide) from screening, or
• Surgical sterilization of the partner (vasectomy ≥ 1 month before screening) AND a barrier method (use of condom [male partner] or diaphragm with spermicide or cervical cap with spermicide) from screening, or
• Double-barrier methods (use of condom [male partner] with either diaphragm with spermicide or cervical cap with spermicide) from screening.
