Informed consent may be obtained before the start of the specified screening
window. Procedures conducted as part of the patients routine clinical management (e.g blood count, imaging study such as bone scan) and obtained before signing of informed consent may be utilized for screening or baseline purposes provided these procedures are conducted as specified in the protocol.

A measurable lesion is defined for target lesions as equal to or greater than 10mm in one dimension by computerized tomography ([CT] or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) scan with scan thickness being no greater than 5mm. For lymph nodes to be considered pathologically enlarged and measurable by CT scan, the short-axis line-length must be equal to or greater than 15mm and scan thickness no greater than 5mm.
4. Patient has received no prior systemic therapy.
5. Male or female ≥18 years of age or legal age of consent if greater than 18 years.
