severity assessment during screening.

- The patient is able to use the wrist actigraphy device or provide written
documentation during the screening period.

- The patient has stable hemoglobin (≥10 g/dL) throughout the screening period.

- Women of childbearing potential (not surgically sterile or 2 years postmenopausal)

agree to continue use of this method for the duration of the study and for 30 days
after participation in the study.

of this method for the duration of the study and for 30 days after participation in
the study.

- The patient has adequate hepatic and renal function.

- The patient meets the proposed diagnostic criteria for cancer-related fatigue as
included in the International Classifications of Disease, Tenth Revision, Clinical
Modification (ICD-10-CM).

- If the patient is taking any other chronic medication which may affect fatigue (e.g.,
antidepressants, anxiolytics, opioid analgesics), the dose has been stable for at
least 4 weeks prior to screening and is expected to remain stable during the study.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

- The patient has any untreated reversible medical condition which may cause fatigue
(e.g., metabolic disturbance, infection, endocrine abnormalities).

- The patient is receiving concurrent radiation therapy (except for palliative
radiation) or treatment with another investigational agent.

- The patient has any serious, uncontrolled, non-malignant medical or psychiatric

- The patient has known HIV positivity.

- The patient has nausea and vomiting or any gastrointestinal disorder that is severe
enough to interfere with study drug absorption in the opinion of the investigator.

- The patient has uncontrolled pain.
