Pregnancy Exclusion
Female subjects of childbearing potential must not be pregnant at screening. Female subjects are considered to be of childbearing potential unless one of the following criteria is met: permanent sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy) or documented postmenopausal status (defined as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman over 45 years-of-age in the absence of other biological or physiological causes. In addition, females under 55 yearsof-age must have a serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level > 40 mIU/mL to confirm menopause). Note: Documentation may include review of medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview by study site staff.
Vulnerable Population
Study selects vulnerable population: minors are considered (isVulnerablePopulationSelected = true). Inclusion criterion: "Capable of understanding and complying with the protocol requirements and signed informed consent (or informed assent and parental/guardian consent for subjects < 18 years of age)" — i.e. subjects <18 require informed assent plus parental/guardian consent.
