hormone [FSH] level indicative of postmenopausal status per local laboratory
definition), OR
2. If of childbearing potential:
- Must have a negative serum pregnancy test at the screening visit and a
negative urine pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to dose administration
on Day 1

- If not exclusively in same-sex relationships, must agree to use adequate
contraception (which is defined as use of a condom by the male partner
combined with the use of a highly effective method of contraception per
APPENDIX 4) from 30 days prior to dosing until at least 190 days after the
last dose of study drug.
- Must agree not to donate ova for at least 190 days after the last dose of
study drug.
8. Male volunteers, must agree not to donate sperm for at least 190 days after the last
dose of study drug, and if engaging in sexual intercourse, must agree to:
1. use a condom, PLUS
2. when engaging in sexual intercourse with a female who may become pregnant, must
agree to have the female use an acceptable form of contraception (refer to
APPENDIX 4) from 30 days prior to dosing until at least 190 days after the last
dose of study drug.
9. Have suitable venous access for blood sampling.
10. Be willing and able to comply with all study assessments and adhere to the protocol
schedule and restrictions.
