according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse
Events (CTCAE).

- The patient has adequate liver function with bilirubin values less than or equal to
1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and

age-appropriate ULN.

- The patient has adequate renal function with serum creatinine values less than 2
times ULN.
