Females of childbearing potential must:\n\n   * Have a negative urine or serum pregnancy tests as verified by the investigator prior to starting study therapy.\n   * If sexually active, have used, and agree to use highly effective contraception without interruption during the study (including dose interruptions), and for 16 weeks (112 days) after discontinuation of study treatment.\n   * Refrain from breastfeeding a child or donating blood, eggs, or ovum for the duration of the study and for at least 16 weeks (112 days) after the last dose of study treatment.\n6. Male participants must:\n\n   * Agree to use a condom, defined as a male latex condom or nonlatex condom NOT made out of natural (animal) membrane (e.g., polyurethane), during sexual contact with a pregnant female or a female of childbearing potential while participating in the study, during dose interruptions and for at least 16 weeks (112 days) following investigational product discontinuation, even if he has undergone a successful vasectomy.\n   * Refrain from donating blood or sperm for the duration of the study and for 16 weeks (112 days) after the last dose of study treatment\n7.
