- Men with a female partner of childbearing potential must agree to avoid exposure of his partner to semen by using a condom. Use of a condom must be from 2 weeks prior to administration of the first dose of study treatment until at least 5 half-lives for the drug (45 days) plus 3 months (i.e., a total of 4.5 months) to allow clearance of any residual drug in the semen after the last dose of study treatment.
