Female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to and submit a negative urine pregnancy test before any study-specific procedures are performed. The subjects must be using and continue to use a suitable method of contraception for the duration of the study: spermicide with barrier, oral contraceptive, transdermal contraceptive, injectable or implantable contraceptive, intrauterine device (IUD), abstinence or surgical sterilization of a partner. If a subject is not of childbearing potential (e.g., has been postmenopausal for at least 12 months or is premenarchal, or has undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or a bilateral tubal ligation), a urine pregnancy test and use of a suitable method of contraception for the duration of the study will not be required.
