sexual abstinence (defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire
period of risk associated with the trial treatments. The reliability of sexual abstinence
needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred
and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence [calendar, symptothermal,
post-ovulation methods], withdrawal [coitus interruptus], spermicides only, and the
lactational amenorrhea method are not acceptable methods of contraception).

during the treatment period and for at least 28 days after the final dose of trial
treatment to avoid exposing the embryo, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm.
