• Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product during the last 30 days before inclusion or 7 half-lifes of previously used trial medication, whichever is of longer duration.
• Previous enrollment or randomization in the present study (does not include screening failure).
• Any other chemotherapy at study start

Más betegség
