interventional study
- Receipt of the last dose of anticancer therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, endocrine
therapy, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, tumor embolization, monoclonal
antibodies) =< 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug. If sufficient wash-out
time has not occurred due to the schedule or pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of an

criteria

risk of incurring adverse events (AEs) or compromise the ability of the patient to
give written informed consent
- History of another primary malignancy except for
