This will not apply to patients with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome , who will be allowed only in consultation with their physician. - Normal thyroid function, subclinical hypothyroidism (TSH < 10 mIU/mL) or have controlled thyroid disorder - AST (SGOT) and/ALT (SGPT) ≤2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal with total bilirubin < 1 x ULN unless liver metastases are present, in which case it must be ≤5x ULN, or AST(SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤≤ 1 ULN with total bilirubin > 1 x ULN to ≤ 1.5 ULN
  10. Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test for female pre-menopausal patients. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply: - Women <50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy). - Women ≥50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, had radiation-induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago, had chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago, or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or hysterectomy).
  11. Women must not be breastfeeding
  12. Women and men of reproductive potential must agree to use highly effective(<1% failure rate)contraception. This applies for the period between signing of the informed consent and 6 months after the last administration of study drug . These procedures should be documented in source documents. The investigator or a designated associate is requested to advise the subject on how to achieve highly effective birth control. Highly effective contraception (<1% failure rate): - Established use of injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception - Placement of certain intrauterine devices (IUD) or intrauterine systems (IUS) - Hysterectomy, or vasectomy of the partner (provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the woman of childbearing potential trial participant and that the vasectomized partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success) In addition, the use of condoms for patients or their partners is required - Total abstinence
