If glucocorticoid treatment is urgently required for lymphoma symptom control prior to the start of study treatment, prednisone 100 mg or equivalent could be given for a maximum of 7 days, but all tumor assessments must be completed prior to start of glucocorticoid treatment.
  9. Ongoing serious central nervous system disease or peripheral neuropathy, such as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.
