    • Adequately treated Stage I cancer from which the subject is currently in remission and has been in remission for ≥2 years
    • Any other cancer from which the subject has been disease-free for ≥3 years
15. Major surgery or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1
16. Hospitalization for subacute bowel obstruction within 28 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1

17. Receipt of anti-cancer therapy prior to Cycle 1 Day 1:

    • Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or small molecule anti-cancer therapy for the treatment of cancer within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of Cycle 1 Day 1
    • Immune therapy or other biologic therapy (e.g., monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates) for the treatment of cancer within 21 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) of Cycle 1 Day 1 Subjects can receive a stable dose of bisphosphonates for bone metastases, before and during the study as long as these were started at least 28 days prior to treatment with study drug.
18. Subject is participating in any other therapeutic clinical study (observational or registry studies are allowed).
19. Subjects who are pregnant or breast-feeding
20. Presence of any other medical, psychological, familial, sociological, or geographic condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol or would interfere with the study endpoints or the subject's ability to participate.
