Subject information and consent documentation include adult ICFs, abbreviated/regained-capacity versions, and legal representative versions (documents exist for Germany and Spain), and other materials addressing determination of emergency situations..
- Pregnancy Exclusion
- Females of childbearing potential who are known to be pregnant or within 12 weeks post-partum and/or lactating at time of enrollment
