Eligibility
Recruits 175 Adults with mental impairment who cannot give independent informed consent are specifically considered in the criteria and are excluded: "Mentally challenged, adult subject who cannot give independent informed consent." Participants must be willing and able to provide informed consent; no pediatric assent procedures are described..
- Pregnancy Exclusion
- Females who are pregnant, breastfeeding or, if of child-bearing potential, unwilling to practice a highly effective method of contraception (oral, injectable or implanted hormonal methods of contraception, placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS), condom or occlusive cap with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository, male sterilization, or true abstinence*) throughout the study. * True abstinence: When this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence [e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods], declaration of abstinence for the duration of a trial, and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.)
