Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Previous exposure to cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiotherapy
- Receiving enzyme inducing antiepileptic drugs (EIAEDs)
- Receiving another investigational agent concurrently
- Surgery within 2 weeks prior to treatment enrollment
- Inability to take medication enterally
Other illness
- Clinically significant medical disorder that could compromise the ability to tolerate study therapy or would interfere with the study procedures or results history
- History of recent (3 months) symptomatic congestive heart failure
- Known active, uncontrolled infection (bacterial, fungal, or viral)
- Any prior cancer therapy including chemotherapy (excluding Bridging Chemotherapy Cycle), targeted therapy, immunotherapy, cellular therapy, or radiation
- Patients with known hypersensitivity to excipients of the investigational medicinal product
- Active gastrointestinal disease or malabsorption disorder (e.g. Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, short-gut syndrome) that would impair drug absorption
