13. Male subjects must not freeze or donate sperm starting from randomization and throughout the study period, and at least 4 months after the final study drug administration. Preservation of sperm should be considered prior to randomization/enrollment in this study. For Ram + PTX, sites should follow local label or institutional guidelines.
14. Female subjects must not donate, or retrieve for their own use, ova from the time of randomization and throughout the study Treatment Period, and for at least 7 months after the final study drug administration.
