Note: If the study candidate is considered a child under local regulation, a parent or legal guardian must provide written consent prior to initiation of study screening procedures and the study candidate may be required to provide written assent. The rules of the responsible institutional review board/independent ethics committee (IRB/IEC) regarding whether one or both parents must provide consent and the appropriate ages for obtaining consent and assent from the participant should be followed.

Female participants of childbearing potential are eligible for the study but must be willing to use adequate (at least 1 form of) contraceptive methods as described below during the study treatment period (starting from the day of first dose of study drug and ending 60 days after the last dose of study drug). Childbearing potential is defined as participants who have experienced menarche and who are neither postmenopausal or have been permanently sterilized.

   • Hormonal methods of contraception (including oral and transdermal contraceptives, injectable progesterone, progestin subdermal implants, progesterone-releasing intrauterine contraceptive devices [IUDs]) initiated at least 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug
   • Abstinence
   • Placement of a copper-containing IUD
   • Condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository
   • Postmenopausal at least 12 months prior to first dose of study drug or permanently sterilized (for example, tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy)
   • Male partner who has had a vasectomy for at least 3 months prior to the first dose of study drug

8. Male participants with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use the following adequate (at least 1 form of) contraception during the study treatment period (starting from the day of first dose of study drug and ending 60 days after the last dose of study drug):

   • Abstinence
   • Vasectomy for at least 3 months prior to first dose of study drug or surgically sterile
   • Without a vasectomy, must use a condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream suppository
