Female patients of childbearing potential must: a) have a negative pregnancy test (blood) at screening. b) either commit to true abstinence from heterosexual contact or agree to use, and be able to comply with, effective measures of contraception without interruption, from screening through 1 year following the IMP infusion. A highly effective method of contraception or birth control (failure rate less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly) must be practiced. The patient should be informed of the potential risks associated with becoming pregnant while enrolled in this clinical trial.

Abstinence is only accepted as true abstinence: when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. (Periodic abstinence [e.g. calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods and withdrawal] are not acceptable methods of contraception.)
