- Hormonal treatment for breast cancer within 2 weeks prior to start of study treatment
- Major surgery in the judgement of the investigator within 4 weeks before starting study treatment or scheduled for surgery during the projected course of the study

tumor

- Family history of long QT syndrome
- Any concomitant serious illness or organ system dysfunction which in the opinion of the investigator would either compromise patient safety or interfere with the evaluation of the safety and anti-tumor activity of
the test drug(s)
