Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) subjects scheduled to receive BEAM conditioning
chemotherapy followed by autologous PBSCT, or multiple myeloma (MM) subjects scheduled

capacity (DLCO) ≥ 60% of predicted

- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50%

10^9/L)

- Serum creatinine <= 2.0 mg/dL

- Total bilirubin <= 2 mg/dL

representative before participating in any study specific procedure, or receiving any
study medication. Exclusion Criteria:

- Subject of child-bearing potential is evidently pregnant (eg, positive HCG test) or is
breast feeding

- Subject is not using adequate contraceptive precautions

- Known to be sero-positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus
(HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV)

factors
