* For women of childbearing potential: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use non-hormonal contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of \< 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 7 months after the last dose of study drug
* For men: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive measures (use a condom plus an additional contraceptive method that together result in a failure rate of \< 1% per year) and agreement to refrain from donating sperm during the treatment period and for at least 7 months after the last dose of study drug
