- Primary central nervous system (CNS) neoplasm.
- Prior or concurrent administration of the following therapies or treatments:
- Prior treatment with WBRT
- SRS performed less than 14 days prior to WBRT D1, or is scheduled to occur
within 30 days of the last WBRT session

therapy was less than 14 days prior to WBRT D1. Bisphosphonates, hormone
modification therapy, and trastuzumab are permitted without restriction

- Clinically significant and uncontrolled major cardiac, respiratory, renal, hepatic,
gastrointestinal, hematologic or neurological/psychiatric disease or disorder,
including but not limited to:
- Active uncontrolled infection
- Symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, or cardiac
arrhythmia
- Any other illness condition(s) that could exacerbate potential toxicities,
confound safety assessments, require excluded therapy for management, or limit
compliance with study requirements
- Unable to swallow and retain oral medications.
- Known contraindication to enhanced MRI and CT, including but not limited to:
- Presence of metal objects within the body such as a cardiac pacemaker, implanted
cardiac defibrillator, brain aneurysm clips, cochlear implant, ocular foreign

- History of immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction or other
contraindication to contrast agents including but not limited to gadolinium and
iodine
- Previous enrollment in this study or another study involving the investigation of
ABT-888, with the exception of receiving a single dose of study drug.
- Consideration by the investigator, for any reason, that the subject is an unsuitable
candidate to receive ABT-888 and/or WBRT.
