E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Men and women aged between 18 and 40 years. 2. Following verbal & written information about the trial, the subject has signed & dated informed consent before any study related activity was carried out. 3. Subject legally competent and able to communicate effectively with the study personnel 4. Normal finding in the medical history and physical examination, unless the investigator considers an abnormality to be clinically irrelevant. 5. Male or female subjects who are using a medically acceptable method of contraception or of non-childbearing potential (i.e., surgically sterile-bilateral tubal ligation or removal of both ovaries and/or uterus at least 6 months prior to dosing or naturally postmenopausal for at least one year with a Screening FSH level ≥ 40 mIU/L). A negative serum pregnancy test is required at Screening for females. Female subjects Female subjects of childbearing potential must use medically acceptable methods of contraception from the time of the first administration of the study medication until 3 months following administration of the last application of study medication. Acceptable methods include: • Oral contraceptives (combination oestrogen/progesterone pills), injectable progesterone or sub-dermal implants and a barrier method {condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository}: • A documented placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) and the use of a barrier method {condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository}; • Medically prescribed topically-applied transdermal contraceptive patch and a barrier method {condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository}; • Documented tubal ligation (female sterilisation). In addition, a barrier method {condom or occlu-sive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository} should also be used; • Double barrier method: Condom and occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository; • Abstinence. Male subjects • Male subjects must use medically acceptable methods of contraception if their female partners are pregnant from the time of the first administration of the study medication until 3 months following administration of the last application of study medication. Acceptable methods include: • Condom • If the subject has undergone surgical sterilisation (vasectomy with documentation of azoosper-mia) a condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository should also be used. • Use acceptable methods of contraception if the male subject’s partner could become pregnant from the time of the first administration of study medication until 3 months following administration of the last application of study medication. The acceptable methods of contraception are as follows: • Condom and occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository; • Surgical sterilisation (vasectomy with documentation of azoospermia) and a barrier method {condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository}; • The female partner uses oral contraceptives (combination estrogen/progesterone pills), in-jectable progesterone or subdermal implants and a barrier method {condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository}; • Medically prescribed topically-applied transdermal contraceptive patch and a barrier method {condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository}; • The female partner has undergone documented tubal ligation (female sterilisation). In addition, a barrier method {condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) used with spermi-cidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository} should also be used; • The female partner has undergone documented placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or in-trauterine system (IUS) and the use of a barrier method {condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository}; • Abstinence.
