Double method:

• Hormone contraception A) estrogen and / or progesterone oral contraceptives, B) transdermal patch, C) vaginal ring, D) injection in combination with one of the following: a) vaginal cap with spermicide, b) vaginal sponge (only for women who have never given birth), c) condom, d) female condom

• Participant is of non-childbearing potential, if she is either surgically sterilized (ie, by tubal ligation or removal of ovaries), has undergone complete hysterectomy, or is in a menopausal state (i.e., at least one year without menses).

  • A male subject who is sexually active and has a female partner who is of childbearing potential, must use a condom throughout the entire duration of the trial from screening and until the last follow-up visit.

Condoms MUST be combined with one of the following methods:

• IUD,
• hormone rod inserted under the skin,
• vaginal cap with spermicide,
• vaginal sponge (only for women who have never given birth),

• hormone contraception A) estrogen and / or progesterone oral contraceptives, B) transdermal patch, C) vaginal ring or D) injection

  • Total heterosexual sexual abstinence can be used as a method of contraception if this is the participant's preferred lifestyle and the method is established. Periodic sexual abstinence is not an acceptable method of contraception.
