Approved Methods of birth control for this study are:

* Unsterilized male study participants must use a male condom and their female partner must use one of the methods below:
* Unsterilized female study participants must use one of the following highly effective methods listed below:

Acceptable birth control methods which are considered highly effective if they result in a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly:

* Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraceptive that stops the release of eggs from the ovary (oral, intravaginal, or transdermal)
* Progestogen-only hormonal contraception that stops the release of eggs from the ovary (oral, injectable, implantable)
* Intrauterine device (IUD)
* Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)
