Prior treatment

  • Prior treatment with more than two lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy. Radiotherapy is not considered a line of therapy.
  • Concurrent treatment with systemic immunosuppressants, including corticosteroids (e.g prednisone), calcineurin inhibitors (e.g tacrolimus, cyclosporine), antiproliferative agents (e.g mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine) within 2 weeks of eligibility confirmation. Local (inhaled or topical) steroids or replacement dose prednisone (≤ 10 mg daily) are permitted.
  • Prior history of uveitis or autoimmune inflammatory eye disease.
  • Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with evaluation of the investigational product or interpretation of subject safety or study results.

Other illness

  • Prior malignancy (except non-melanoma skin cancer) within 3 years.
  • Known chronic viral infections including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV.
  • Known allergy to eggs.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness.

Other
