• Each subject must have results of clinical laboratory tests (hematology, blood chemistries, and urinalysis) within normal limits or clinically acceptable to the investigator as evidenced by the last available test results from the parent study (P04938 or P07037), and no results fall within the parameters for exclusion described below in the exclusion criterion for liver-related findings.
• There has been no change in, or there has been no finding to warrant checking, serology status (for cytomegalovirus [CMV], Epstein-Barr virus [EBV], and Hepatitis B, C, and E).
• Each subject must have results of a physical examination within normal limits, including blood pressure, within normal limits or clinically acceptable limits to the investigator, and not within the parameters for exclusion described below in the exclusion criterion for blood pressure.
• All subjects that are sexually active or plan to be sexually active agree to use a highly effective method of birth control while the subject is in the study and for 2 weeks after the last dose of study drug. A male subject must not donate sperm within 2 weeks after the last dose of study drug. Complete details regarding contraceptive requirements are specified in protocol Section 7.7.1.7.
