  • Recovered from reversible toxicities of prior therapy
  • Karnofsky performance status ≥70

  • No other active malignancies (other than treated non-melanoma skin cancer or treated in situ cancer) within the past year
  • Major surgery within 3 weeks of the start of study treatment, without complete recovery
  • Clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory test results (including complete blood count, chemistry panel including electrolytes, and urinalysis) (Hemoglobin \<9 g/dL (may receive transfusion or erythropoietin to maintain))
