5. Major surgery within 4 weeks of randomization.
6. Toxicity of ≥ Grade 1 from prior anti-cancer therapy (except for absolute neutrophil count [ANC], platelets, and hemoglobin. For ANC, platelets, and hemoglobin, please follow inclusion criteria #7 [neutrophils], #8 [platelets], and #9 [hemoglobin]).
