For all female participants who are women of childbearing potential (WOCBP), who are not pregnant or breast feeding, at least one of the following conditions must apply: A documented hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy Use of a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of \<1% per year), preferably with low user dependency (implantable progesterone-only hormone contraception, intrauterine hormone releasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner) during the intervention period of the study and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study intervention to eliminate any reproductive safety risk of the study drug. Use of a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of \<1% per year), with high user dependency, (oral/intravaginal/injectable combined estrogen and progesterone contraception, oral/injectable progesterone only hormone contraception, sexual abstinence) during the intervention period and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study intervention to eliminate any reproductive safety risk of the study drug.
