          -  Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7
             days prior to registration. NOTE: Females are considered of child bearing potential
             unless they are surgically sterile (have undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral tubal
             ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or they are naturally postmenopausal for at least
             12 consecutive months

          -  Males who are sexually active with partners of child-bearing potential must be willing
             to abstain from heterosexual activity or adhere to contraception from the time of
             written consent until 7 months after treatment discontinuation.

          -  Patient must provide voluntary written informed consent prior to the performance of
             any research related tests or procedures.
