Periodic abstinence (e.g. calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception) OR * Consistent and correct use of 1 of the following acceptable methods of birth control for 1 month prior to the start of the study agent, during the study, and 16 weeks after the last dose of study agent * Oral contraceptive, either combined or progestogen alone * Injectable progestogen * Implants of levonorgestrel or etonogestrel * Estrogenic vaginal ring * Percutaneous contraceptive patches * Intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) with \<1% failure rate as stated in the product label * Male partner sterilization (vasectomy with documentation of azoospermia) prior to the female subject's entry into the study, and this male is the sole partner for that subject.
