Androgenic steroids should not be an appropriate therapy at this time. 9. Treatment with systemic corticosteroids is permitted for non-hematological conditions providing the subject is receiving a stable or decreasing dose for ≥84 days immediately prior to randomization and are receiving a constant dose equivalent to ≤10 mg prednisone for the 28 days immediately prior to randomization. 10. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score ≤2. 11. Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must undergo pregnancy testing based on the frequency outlined in protocol Appendix 18.1 and pregnancy results must be negative. 12. Unless practicing complete abstinence from heterosexual intercourse, sexually active FCBP must agree to use adequate contraceptive methods as specified in protocol Appendix 18.1. 13. Males (including those who have had a vasectomy) must use barrier contraception (condoms) when engaging in sexual activity with FCBP as specified in Appendix 18.1. 14. Males must agree not to donate semen or sperm during the duration specified in Appendix 18.1. 15. All subjects must: - Understand that the investigational product could have a potential teratogenic risk. - Agree to abstain from donating blood while taking investigational product and following discontinuation of investigational product - Agree not to share study medication with another person. - Be counseled about pregnancy precautions and risks of fetal exposure. 16. Understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent document before any study related assessments/ procedures are conducted. 17.
