  • Non-bevacizumab systemic therapy (including investigational agents and small- molecule kinase inhibitors) or non-cytotoxic hormonal therapy (eg, tamoxifen) within 7 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to first dose of study drug
  • Biologic agents (antibodies, immune modulators, vaccines, cytokines) within 21 days prior to first dose of study drug
  • Nitrosoureas or mitomycin C within 42 days, or metronomic/protracted low-dose chemotherapy within 14 days, or other cytotoxic chemotherapy within 28 days, prior to first dose of study drug
  • Prior treatment with carmustine wafers
• Patients currently using SSRI, SNRI, MAO inhibitors, tramadol or trazodone who are unwilling to undergo taper.

  • Untreated hypothyroidism
  • Unhealed rectal or peri-rectal abscess
  • Uncontrolled active infection
  • Stroke, or transient ischemic attack within 6 months
• Any current psychosis, uncontrolled mood disorder (as assessed by investigator) or suicidal ideation. Additionally, current or history of bipolar disorder is excluded.
