- Adequate hepatic function: Total bilirubin \< 1.5 times the institutional upper limit of normal, ALT/AST \< 2.5 times the institutional upper limit of normal
- Adequate renal function as defined by serum creatinin \< 1.5 times the upper limit of normal.

- Known HIV positivity or AIDS-related illness, or active HBV, or active HCV.
- Any of the following within the 6 months prior to study drug administration: myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, symptomatic congestive heart failure, serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication, uncontrolled hypertension, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, or symptomatic pulmonary embolism.
