• Life expectancy of at least 3 months
• Blood counts at screening: haemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL, absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/μL (1.5x109/l), platelet count ≥ 100,000/μL (100x109/l) (patient must not have received any growth factor or blood transfusion within 7 days of the hematology laboratory obtained at screening)
• Screening values of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate transaminase (AST) ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN, creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN, albumin > 3.0 g/dl
