  • Constitutional symptoms, defined as 1 or more of the following:

    • unintentional weight loss >10% within 6 months prior to screening
    • significant fatigue (inability to work or perform usual activities) fevers >100.5° F or 38.0° C for 2 or more weeks prior to screening without evidence of infection

  • Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥500 cells/mm3 (0.5 x 10^9/L). Growth factor allowed to achieve
  • Platelet count ≥25,000 cells/mm3 (25 x 10^9/L) independent of transfusion within 7 days of screening
• Adequate hepatic function defined as: AST and ALT ≤ 4.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN), bilirubin ≤2.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN) unless bilirubin rise is due to Gilbert's syndrome)
• Adequate renal function defined by serum creatinine <2.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN) unless due to biopsy proven Chronic Lymphomcytic Leukemia kidney infiltration
