contraceptive guidance from screening, during the treatment period, and for
at least 3 months after the last study drug administration. A FCBP must have
a negative serum pregnancy test result at screening.

treatment period, and for at least 3 months after the last study drug administration and to
refrain from donating sperm during this period.

elevated tissue fibroblast activation protein (FAP) expression unless approved after
consultation with the Sponsor
4. Serious illness or concomitant non-oncological disease considered by the Investigator
to be incompatible with participating in the protocol

least one of the following criteria:
