  3. Pre-menopausal subjects as well as subjects with ovarian radiation or concomitant treatment with an LH-RH agonist/antagonist must have a negative pregnancy test and agree to use an adequate method of contraception as recommended by their treating physicians
  4. Post-menopausal status is defined either by:

    1. age ≥55 years and one year or more of amenorrhea,
    2. age <55 years and one year or more of amenorrhea with an estradiol assay <20 pg/mL
    3. bilateral oophorectomy
    4. CID CTCAE grade 1 or 2 (not requiring Loperamide or similar)
