Surgically sterile (bilateral tubal ligation, hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy) 6 months minimum. 2. Intrauterine device (IUD) in place for at least 3 months. 3. Barrier method (condom, diaphragm) with spermicide for at least 14 days prior to the first dose and throughout the study. 4. Surgical sterilization of the partner (vasectomy for 6 months minimum). 5. Hormonal contraceptives for at least 3 months prior to the first dose of the study. * Gave voluntary written informed consent to participate in the study.
