Exclusion Criteria:

You cannot have clinically significant third-space fluid collections (e.g. ascites or pleural effusions that cannot be controlled by drainage or other procedures).
You cannot have NSCLC of predominantly squamous cell histology.
You cannot have known central nervous system (CNS) disease, other than stable, treated brain metastasis.
