1. Total serum bilirubin =1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) unless the patient has
documented Gilbert syndrome in which case the maximum total serum bilirubin
should be 5 mg/dL
2. Aspartate and Alanine transaminase (AST and ALT) =2.5 x ULN
13. Resolved acute effects of any prior therapy to baseline severity or CTCAE Grade =1

14. If of reproductive potential, willing to use 1 effective method of contraception (as
defined in this protocol) during the treatment period, if partner is a female of

corticosteroids (prednisone dose >10 mg per day or equivalent), or other immune
suppressive drugs
4. History of or known or suspected autoimmune disease (exception(s): patients with
vitiligo, resolved childhood atopic dermatitis, hypothyroidism, or hyperthyroidism
that is clinically euthyroid at Screening are allowed)
5. History of clinically significant cardiovascular disease such as symptomatic
congestive heart failure (CHF), uncontrolled hypertension defined as sustained BP >150
mmHg systolic, or >100 mmHg diastolic despite optimal antihypertensive treatment (BP
must be controlled at screening), unstable angina pectoris, clinically significant
cardiac arrhythmias, history of stroke (including TIA, or other ischemic event) within
6 months before first dose of study drug, myocardial infarction within 6 months before
first dose of study drug, history of thromboembolic event within 3 months before first
dose of study drug

surface antigen (HBsAg) positivity and/or anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) positivity,
respectively, or known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive
status

8. Second primary malignancy that has not been in remission for greater than 3 years.
Exceptions that do not require a 3-year remission: non-melanoma skin cancer, resected
melanoma in situ, or non-muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma
9. In the judgment of the Investigator, patient has a clinically significant concurrent
illness or psychological, familial, sociological, geographical, or other concomitant
condition that would not permit adequate follow-up and compliance with the study
protocol
10. Any serious underlying medical or psychiatric condition (e.g., alcohol or drug abuse),
dementia or altered mental status or any issue that would impair the ability of the
patient to understand informed consent or that in the opinion of the Investigator
