f.Hypertensive crisis or severe hypertension that is not controlled.
g.Known acute systemic infection.

l.Known clinically significant interstitial lung disease or pulmonary fibrosis.
m.Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related illness.
n.Organ allografts with immunosuppressive therapy required.
o.Major surgery within 3 weeks prior to study treatment start, or lack of complete recovery from the effects of surgery.
p.Clinically significant malabsorption syndrome
q.Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, or may interfere with the interpretation of study results, and in the judgment of the Investigator would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.

a.Sorivudine, brivudine, uracil, eniluracil, cimetidine, folinate/folinic acid, and dipyridamole (may enhance S-1or capecitabine activity).
b.Nitroimidazoles, including metronidazole and misonidazole (may enhance S-1 activity)
c.Clozapine (may increase risk and severity of hematologic toxicity)
d.Allopurinol (may diminish S-1 activity).
e.Phenytoin (S-1 may enhance phenytoin activity).
f.Flucytosine, a fluorinated pyrimidine antifungal agent (may enhance S-1 activity).
4.Is a pregnant or lactating female.
5.Female patients of childbearing potential must have negative pregnancy test before initiation of study drug dosing. Postmenopausal women must be amenorrheic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential. Male and female patients of reproductive potential must agree to employ an effective barrier method of birth control throughout the study and for up to 3 months following discontinuation of study drug.
