Willingness to avoid pregnancy or fathering children based on the criteria below:
1. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who engage in heterosexual intercourse or male subjects whose sexual partners are WOCBP must be able to and agree to use an acceptable, highly effective, double barrier contraception commencing from Screening, during study, and for 6 months after the last dose of investigational product, including:
  - Simultaneous use of hormonal contraceptives and must agree to use the same hormonal contraceptive throughout the study, and a condom for the male partner.
  - Simultaneous use of intrauterine device (IUD) and condom for the male partner.
  - Simultaneous use of diaphragm or cervical cap and condom for the male partner.
  - Sterile male partner (vasectomized for at least 6 months prior to first dose of investigational product).
  - True abstinence, defined as no sexual intercourse (heterosexual couples). Periodic abstinence and withdrawal are not acceptable methods.
  Subjects with same-sex partners (abstinence from penile-vaginal intercourse) or who are abstinent from heterosexual intercourse are not required use contraception when this is their preferred and usual lifestyle.
2. WOCBP must have a negative serum beta human-chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) pregnancy test at Screening and a negative pregnancy test on Day 1 of each cycle. In the event of a positive urine pregnancy test, a serum pregnancy test will be performed for confirmation.
3. Must agree not to donate ova or sperm from Screening, during study, and for 6 months after the last dose of investigational product
4. Must agree not to donate ova or sperm from Screening, during study, and for 6 months after the last dose of investigational product

Exclusion criteria
