6. At least 56 days must have elapsed after transplant or stem cell infusion; patients with prior allogeneic transplants are not eligible

7. Blood counts recovery including White cell count >= 750/mm^3 and Platelet count >= 50,000/mm^3

8. Creatinine clearance ≥ 50ml/min

9. Liver function: Total bilirubin ≤ 2 mg/dl, Alanine aminotransferase or Aspartate aminotransferase ≤ 2.5 U/dl (or < 5 in case of liver impairment)

10. Life expectancy of at least 4 months

11. Negative pregnancy test in women of childbearing potential

3. Patients who are currently receiving other anti-cancer agents are not eligible

4. Patients with a history of any grade autoimmune disorder are not eligible; asymptomatic laboratory abnormalities (e.g. antinuclear antibody (ANA), rheumatoid factor, altered thyroid function studies) will not render a patient ineligible in the absence of a diagnosis of an autoimmune disorder

5. Patients with >= grade 2 hypothyroidism due to history of autoimmunity are not eligible; note: hypothyroidism due to previous irradiation on thyroidectomy will not impact eligibility

6. Patients who have an uncontrolled infection are not eligible.
