Patients with a clinically important and unresolved Grade 3 or 4 non-haematologic adverse reaction related to previous therapies. Also participant with any known Grade 3 or 4 anemia, neutropenia or thrombocytopenia due to prior chemotherapy that persisted > 4 weeks and was related to the most recent treatment.
