Subject is willing to comply with any applicable contraceptive requirements of the protocol and is:
Male, or
Female of non-childbearing potential (defined as a female who is post-menopausal [amenorrhea for at least 12 consecutive months] or surgically sterile [hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral salpingectomy]) and at least 6 weeks post-sterilization
