within 7 days prior to the first dose of the study drug;

Other:

- The patient has not adequately recovered from the toxic effects of previous therapy,
except treatment-related anemia otherwise meeting the inclusion requirements stated
above in inclusion number 5 or alopecia;

- The patient has known clinically significant brain metastases or leptomeningeal
