Women of childbearing potential and sexually-active female adolescents must agree not to try to become pregnant, and, unless they have exclusively same-sex partners, must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception, and agree to continue use of this method beginning 1 month before the first administration of study drugs and for the duration of the study and for 120 days after the last injection of study drug.
The participant, if adult or adolescent male, is surgically sterile, or, if capable of producing offspring, or has exclusively same-sex partners or is currently using an approved method of birth control and agrees to the continued use of this method for the duration of the study (and for 120 days after the last dose of study drug). Male participants with sex partners who are women of childbearing potential must use condoms even if surgically sterile
