Female participants and female partners of male study participants using a hormonal contraceptive must also use a barrier method (i.e., condom or occlusive cap [diaphragm or cervical/vault caps]) and should have been stable on their hormonal contraceptive treatment for at least 4 weeks prior to Screening. For sites in the EU only, the subject must have received an adequate trial of non-pharmacological therapy without adequate response prior to study enrollment.
