- Current enrollment in an investigational drug or device study, or participation in such a study within 30 days of first administration of the hormonal agent.
- Condition or situation which, in the investigator's opinion, may put the patient at significant risk, may confound the study results, or may interfere significantly with patient's participation in the study
- Not willing to comply with the procedural requirements of this protocol
- Patients who have partners of childbearing potential who are not willing to use a method of birth control with adequate barrier protection as determined to be acceptable by the principal investigator and sponsor during the study and for 13 weeks after last study drug administration
- Condition or situation which, in the investigator's opinion, may put the patient at significant risk, may confound the study results, or may interfere significantly with patient's participation in the study
