The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female partners of male subjects who are of childbearing potential must also adhere to one of the following:

    * Placement of an intrauterine device or intrauterine system.
    * Established use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception.
