-Female subject of childbearing potential not willing to use an acceptable method(s) of effective birth control during the screening/lipid stabilization period, during treatment with IP and for an additional 15 weeks after the end of treatment with IP.
Female subjects of non-childbearing potential are not required to use contraception during the study and include those who have had a hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or who are postmenopausal. Postmenopausal is defined as 12 months of spontaneous and continuous amenorrhea in a female ≥ 55 years old; or age < 55 years but no spontaneous menses for at least 2 years; or age < 55 years and spontaneous menses within the past 1 year, but currently amenorrheic (eg, spontaneous or secondary to hysterectomy), and with postmenopausal gonadotropin levels (luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone levels > 40 IU/L) or postmenopausal estradiol levels (< 5 ng/dL) or according to the definition of "postmenopausal range" for the laboratory involved.
Acceptable methods of effective birth control include:
•true sexual abstinence when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject (periodic abstinence [eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods], declaration of abstinence for the duration of a trial, and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception),
•vasectomized partner (provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the female participant who is of childbearing potential and that the vasectomized partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success),
•bilateral tubal ligation/occlusion, use of hormonal birth control methods (oral, intravaginal, [eg, vaginal ring], transdermal, injectable, or implantable),
• intrauterine devices,
•intrauterine hormonal releasing system, or
•2 barrier methods (each partner must use one barrier method) and the female partner must use if available spermicide in addition to a barrier – males must use a condom; females must choose either a diaphragm, OR cervical cap, OR contraceptive sponge. (Note: If spermicide is not commercially available in the country or region, the two barrier method without spermicide iswould then be considered acceptable.).
Note: Additional medications given during the study may alter the contraceptive requirements. These additional medications may require an increase in the number of contraceptive methods, the change in type of contraceptive methods and/or length of time that contraception is to be utilized and/or length of time breastfeeding is to be avoided. The investigator is to discuss these contraceptive changes with the study subject.
