  • ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1
  • No clinically significantly abnormal clinical laboratory tests or concomitant illnesses
  • Ability and willingness to self-administer subcutaneous injections
  • Although pregnancy is extremely unlikely in this patient population because of the disease and prior treatment, patients who have the potential to become pregnant must have a negative pregnancy test and must agree to practice an effective method of contraception throughout the trial.

Exclusion Criteria:
