• Males must refrain from donating sperm while taking CFT8634 and for 90 days after discontinuation.
• Females must refrain from donating ova while taking CFT8634 and for 30 days after discontinuation.
• Subjects must refrain from donating blood during study treatment and for 30 days after discontinuation.
