metastases) obtained within 1 week prior to the first dose of study medication;

10. If a woman of childbearing potential or a fertile man (and his partners), must agree
to use an effective form of contraception (hormonal contraceptive, double-barrier

11. If female, is pregnant or breast-feeding

12. Is receiving concurrent investigational therapy or has received investigational
therapy within a period of 30 days prior to the first scheduled day of dosing
