If female of childbearing potential, have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to first trial treatment;
If female of childbearing potential or a male subject with a partner with childbearing potential, be willing to use a highly effective method of contraception (with a failure rate of less than 1.0% per year) from first study treatment to 24 weeks after completion of the trial treatment.

Exclusion criteria

History of uncontrolled intercurrent illness
Prior therapy with any antibody/drug targeting T cell coregulatory proteins
