   Note: Patients with an atrioventricular pacemaker or other condition (for example, right bundle branch block) that renders the QT measurement invalid are an exception and this criterion does not apply.

9. Ability to take oral medications without medical history of malabsorption or other chronic gastrointestinal disease, or other conditions that may hamper compliance and/or absorption of the study agents. Note: Patient may not have a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube or be receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN).
10. Provision of an archival tissue block, or 10 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) slides, or fresh tumor biopsy.
