• Treatment with the following within the timeframe specified prior to enrollment:

  • Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy (active (such as vaccines) or passive (such as monoclonal antibodies or immunotoxins)) or major surgery < or = to 3 weeks;
  • Nitrosourea, or mitomycin < or = to 6 weeks

• Significant psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study medication and requirements of the study as determined by study MD
• Significant medical illness or abnormal laboratory finding that would, in the investigator's judgment, increase the subject's risk by participating in this study
