2. a serious infection, defined as requiring hospitalization or IV anti-infectives within 8 weeks prior to the first IMP dose, with the last dose having been received within 7 days of Screening,
3. recurrent or chronic infections, e.g., chronic pyelonephritis, chronic osteomyelitis, bronchiectasis, or other active infection that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might cause this study to be detrimental to the subject.

Male subjects with female partners of childbearing potential who are not using birth control as described above must use a barrier method of contraception (e.g., condom) if not surgically sterile (i.e., vasectomy). Contraceptive methods must be practiced upon entering the study and through 17 weeks after the last dose of IMP. If a subject discontinues prematurely, the contraceptive method must be practiced for 17 weeks following final administration of IMP. A FSH test should be performed to confirm menopause for those women with no menses for less than 1 year.
