- Females of reproductive potential (defined as women who have not been postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months [i.e., who have had menses within the preceding 24 months], or women who have not undergone surgical sterilization; specifically hysterectomy, salpingotomy, bilateral oophorectomy, and/or tubal ligation), must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 40 mIU/mL at Screening and prior to drug dosing on Day 1.

Participants who are not of reproductive potential (women who have been postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months or have undergone hysterectomy, salpingotomy, bilateral oophorectomy, and/or tubal ligation or men who have documented azoospermia) are eligible without requiring the use of contraceptives. Acceptable documentation of sterilization, menopause or male partner's azoospermia must be provided; serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) measurement can be used to document menopausal range.
