- Estimated life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
- Recovery from recent therapy (except for alopecia), including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy, or investigational product. Any such therapy must have been completed at least 3 weeks before randomization and at least 6 weeks from use of nitrosourea, or mitomycin.
