A male volunteer with sexual partners who could become pregnant must meet the following criteria: a. Participants who are sexually active agree to use one of the accepted contraceptive regimens from first drug administration until 3 months (90 days) after the drug administration. An acceptable method of contraception includes one of the following; abstinence from vaginal intercourse, condom with spermicide or condom with intra-vaginally applied spermicide. b. Male participants must agree to provide any requested information about the pregnancy should contraception fail and a pregnancy occurs within the 90 days after the drug administration. c. Male participants subjects must agree to not donate sperm during the study and for 3 months (90 days) after receiving the last dose of study drug. 7.
