                    2. AST and ALT ≤3 x ULN and bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN (unless considered due to
                       Gilbert's syndrome or of non-hepatic origin i.e. leukemic involvement).

               5. Patients must be at least 2 weeks from major surgery, radiation therapy, or
                  participation in other investigational trials, and must have recovered from
                  clinically significant toxicities related to these prior treatments.

               6. Patients must voluntarily sign and date an informed consent, approved by an
                  Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)/Institutional Review Board (IRB), prior to the
                  i initiation of any screening or study specific procedures.

               7. Female patients of childbearing potential must have negative results for a
                  pregnancy test

               8. Patients must be willing to use appropriate contraception
