Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) should have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first dose, and subjects and their partners should have no pregnancy plan and promise to use a medically acceptable contraceptive measure (e.g., intrauterine device [IUD], contraceptive pill or condom) during the study drug treatment period and within 3 months after the last dose of study drug; Note: WOCBP is defined as non-postmenopausal women who have experienced menarche and have not undergone sterilization (hysterectomy or bilateral adnexectomy) or other causes of permanent infertility (e.g., mullerian agenesis) identified by investigator. Postmenopause is defined as amenorrhea for ≥12 months without other biological or physiological causes.
