- Women must be post-menopausal ≥ 1 year, or surgically sterilized. If not, a negative urine pregnancy test is required within 14 days of receiving her first dose of test medication (placebo/ study drug) along with definite evidence of contraceptive use during the duration of the study. Women of reproductive age should use a method of birth control that is acceptable to the subject and the study doctor. This may include oral contraceptive pills, birth control implants, barrier methods or abstinence. If a subject mentions she suspects she may be pregnant after being enrolled, another pregnancy test will be administered. If the test is positive, she will be discontinued from the study immediately.
