Eligibility
Recruits 350 No vulnerable populations selected. Subjects must voluntarily sign and date an informed consent, approved by an Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)/Institutional Review Board (IRB), prior to the initiation of any screening or study specific procedures; consent may be withdrawn at any time without prejudice to future medical care. No assent process for minors is described and subjects under 18 are explicitly excluded..
- Pregnancy Exclusion
- Female subjects must be either postmenopausal for at least 1 year before screening OR permanently surgical sterile (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or hysterectomy) or Women of Childbearing Potential (WOCBP) must agree to practice 1 highly effective method and 1 additional effective (barrier) method of contraception, at the same time, from the time of signing the informed consent through 7 months after the last dose of study drug (female and male condoms should not be used together), or Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence [e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods] withdrawal, spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea are not acceptable methods of contraception). Female subjects of childbearing potential must have negative results for pregnancy test performed and must not be lactating and breastfeeding.
