i. Serum bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN (except for patients Gilbert's disease) ii. AST or
ALT < 2.5 x ULN
13. Able to swallow the study drug whole as a tablet
14. Life expectancy of at least 6 months

3. Prior systemic treatment with an azole drug (e.g. fluconazole, ketoconazole) within
4weeks of Cycle 1, Day 1

recurrence within 24 months
8. Administration of an investigational therapeutic within 30 days of Cycle 1, Day 1
