(Highly effective contraceptive measures are methods that can achieve a
failure rate of less than 1% per year. These include: intrauterine devices,
hormonal contraceptives associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral,
implants, transdermal patches, hormonal vaginal devices or injections
with prolonged release). A vasectomised partner or sexual abstinence
may be regarded as highly effective methods, if this is the usual and
preferred lifestyle of the subject. Sterilised or infertile subjects are
exempt from the requirement to use contraception. In order to be
considered sterile or infertile, subjects must generally have undergone
surgical sterilisation (vasectomy/bilateral salpingectomy, hysterectomy
and bilateral oophorectomy) or be postmenopausal defined as 12
months or more with no menses prior to enrolment. Double-barrier
methods (condom+cervical cap with spermicide) are not considered
highly effective)

b. are intolerant of all remaining standard treatments, and/or
