9. Evidence of post-menopausal status, permanent or surgically sterile, or negative serum pregnancy test for female patients of child-bearing potential. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they are over 50 years old and have been amenorrhoeic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments. Permanent sterilization includes hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy and/or bilateral salpingectomy but excludes bilateral tubal occlusion. Tubal occlusion is considered a highly effective method of birth control but does not absolutely exclude the possibility of pregnancy. (The term occlusion refers to both occluding and ligating techniques that do not physically remove the oviducts). Women who have undergone tubal occlusion should be managed as if they are of child-bearing potential (e.g., undergo pregnancy testing as required by the study). Females of reproductive potential are required to use reliable contraception
