• Calculated creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min (based on the Cockcroft-Gault Equation below)

For males:

Creatinine Clearance = (140-age[years] x weight [kg]) 72 x (serum creatinine[mg/dL])

For females:

Creatinine Clearance = 0.85 (140-age[years] x weight [kg]) 72 x (serum creatinine[mg/dL])

• ECOG performance status of 0-1.
• Adequate Liver function; AST or ALT < 3.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN); Total bilirubin <1.5x ULN
• Voluntary written consent must be given before performance of any study related procedure not part of standard medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the patient at any time without prejudice to future medical care.

Female's menopausal status to be documented and submitted to BrUOG if applicable. Pregnancy test, if applicable, required to be sent to BrUOG.

(Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.) Documentation and confirmation of conversations and patient commitment to contraception is required to be noted and sent to BrUOG.
