7. Willingness to undergo a pre-treatment and on-treatment tumour biopsy to obtain the specimen (for NHL and PMF: see respective requirements).

   Note: If a patient has signed the informed consent and is scheduled to have a tumour biopsy for the purposes of this study, and it is subsequently determined that tumour tissue cannot safely be obtained, the patient may still enrol in the study, and the patient may be replaced, if enrolled in Part A, after discussion between the Sponsor and Investigator. The patient will be replaced if enrolled in Part B. However, all patients will be part of the final safety PK, PD (except for the examinations related to the pre- and post-dosing biopsy) and efficacy evaluation.

8. Willingness to avoid pregnancy or fathering children based on the criteria below:

   1. Women of non-childbearing potential (i.e., surgically sterile with a hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy OR ≥ 12 months of amenorrhea and at least 50 years of age).

Women receiving cisplatin should not become pregnant for at least 6 months after receiving the last dose of cisplatin. Permitted methods that are at least 99% effective in preventing pregnancy should be communicated to the patient and their understanding confirmed.
   3. Men who agree to take appropriate precautions to avoid fathering children (with at least 99% certainty) from screening through safety follow-up, at least 1 month after the last dose of study treatment.

Permitted methods that are at least 99% effective in preventing pregnancy (see should be communicated to the patient and their understanding confirmed.
