Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Male subjects who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must agree to use male condoms and spermicide, even if the male subject has undergone a successful vasectomy (males with vasectomy can use condoms without spermicide), from Day 1 until at least 30 days after the last dose of the study drug.
