Males with non-pregnant Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) partners: they and/or their partner of childbearing potential must be willing to use a highly effective birth control method in addition to the male condom from the signature of the informed consent and until 90 days after the follow-up visit. Subjects must not donate sperm during the study and for 90 days after the follow-up visit or
2. Males with pregnant WOCBP partner: they must be willing to use male contraception (condom) from the signature of the informed consent and until 90 days after the follow-up visit. Subjects must not donate sperm during the study and for 90 days after the follow-up visit or

11. Subjects who have cardiovascular condition such as, but not limited to unstable ischemic heart disease, NYHA Class III/IV left ventricular failure, acute ischemic heart disease in the last year prior to study screening, which may impact the safety of the subject or the evaluation of the result of the study according to the Investigator's judgment
