2. Positive urine drug screen at screening.

3. History of allergic reactions to sorafenib, any of the excipients or other related drugs.

6. Any reason which, in the opinion of the Qualified Investigator, would prevent the subject from participating in the study.

7. Clinically significant electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities (QTc >450) or vital sign abnormalities (systolic blood pressure lower than 90 or over 140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure lower than 50 or over 90 mmHg, or heart rate less than 50 or over 100 bpm) at screening.
