Inclusion Criteria

1. Completed study TIRCON2012V1
2. Sexually active females of childbearing potential, including those who are perimenopausal (defined as less than 2 years since last menstrual period) must have a negative pregnancy test result at Visit 1 (if applicable; in cases where the investigator determines there is no reasonable risk of pregnancy because of significant incapacity, pregnancy testing will not be performed). In addition, if applicable, they must meet at least one of the following criteria:
? Use an effective method of contraception during the study and within 30 days following their last dose of study medication, OR
? Participate in a non-heterosexual lifestyle, OR
? Have a male sexual partner who has been sterilized (supporting evidence required)
Approved methods of contraception will consist of the following or must follow local requirements:
? Oral contraceptive used in conjunction with condom, diaphragm, or spermicide
? Hormonal implant used in conjunction with condom, diaphragm, or spermicide
? Injectable contraceptive used in conjunction with condom, diaphragm, or spermicide
? Diaphragm or condom used with spermicide
? Abstinence, which must be true abstinence that is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal,post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
If a hormonal contraception is used, it should have a Pearl index <1%.
Female patients who meet any of the following criteria are not of childbearing potential and therefore do not need to practice contraception:
? Post-menopausal (last menstrual period > 2 years ago)
? Had a tubal ligation (supporting evidence required)
? Had a hysterectomy or oophorectomy (supporting evidence required)

3. Fertile heterosexual males and/or their partners must agree to use an effective method of contraception (as defined in criterion # 2) during the study and for 30 days following the last dose of study medication

4. Patients and/or their authorized legal representatives must provide signed and dated written informed consent prior to the first study intervention, and patients must be able to adhere to study restrictions, appointments, and evaluation schedules. Patients who are minors must sign an assent form as per local regulatory requirements.
