E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Subjects who meet any of the following exclusion criteria are not eligible for this study: 1 Radiotherapy unless brief course for palliative therapy, endocrine therapy (except for ongoing luteinizing hormone releasing hormone agonist therapy for subjects with prostate cancer who have progressed), immunotherapy, or chemotherapy during the 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas and Mitomycin C, and 4 weeks for IMP) or 4 drug half lives before first dose of study drug, whichever is greater 2 Ongoing toxic manifestations of previous treatments including known history of Grade 4 thrombocytopenia with any prior chemotherapy regimen, unless approved by the Vertex Medical Monitor. Exceptions to this are alopecia or certain Grade 1 toxicities, which in the opinion of the investigator should not exclude the subject 3 Spinal cord compression or brain metastases unless asymptomatic, treated, stable, and not requiring steroids for at least 4 weeks before first dose of study drug. Any history of leptomeningeal metastases. 4 Female subjects who are already pregnant or lactating, or plan to become pregnant within 6 months of the last dose of study drug are excluded. Female subjects of childbearing potential must adhere to contraception guidelines as outlined in Section 11.6.5.1. Female subjects will be considered to be of nonchildbearing potential if they have undergone surgical hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or have been amenorrheic for over 2 years with a screening serum follicle-stimulating hormone level within the laboratory’s reference range for postmenopausal females 5 Male subjects with partners of childbearing potential must agree to adhere to contraception guidelines in Section 11.6.5.1. Men with pregnant or lactating partners or partners who plan to become pregnant during the study or within 6 months of the last dose of study drug are excluded 6 Major surgery ≤4 weeks before first dose of study drug, or incomplete recovery from a prior major surgical procedure 7 Cardiac conditions as follows: a Clinically significant cardiovascular event within 6 months before study entry: i congestive heart failure requiring therapy ii unstable angina pectoris iii myocardial infarction iv Class II/III/IV cardiac disease v presence of severe valvular heart disease; vi presence of a ventricular arrhythmia requiring treatment b History of arrhythmia that is symptomatic or requires treatment (CTCAE 3), symptomatic or uncontrolled atrial fibrillation despite treatment, or asymptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia. Subjects with atrial fibrillation controlled by medication are permitted c Uncontrolled hypertension (blood pressure ≥160/100 despite optimal therapy) d Second or third degree heart block with or without symptoms e QTc >470 msec not due to electrolyte abnormality and that does not resolve with correction of electrolytes f History of congenital long QT syndrome g History of torsades de pointes (or concurrent medication with a known risk of inducing torsades de pointes) h Clinically-significant abnormality, including ejection fraction below normal institutional limits, present on transthoracic echocardiogram performed at Screening, for parts A1, A2, B1 and B2. 8 Prior bone marrow transplant or extensive radiotherapy to greater than 15% of bone marrow 9 Participation or plan of participation in another interventional clinical study while taking part in this study. Participation in an observational study would be acceptable 10 Any other condition which in the investigator’s opinion would not make the subject a good candidate for the clinical study, including: a History of HIV 1, HIV 2, hepatitis C virus (HCV), or unresolved hepatitis B infection b High medical risk because of non-malignant systemic disease including active uncontrolled infection c History of serious allergy or autoimmune disease d Subjects who have been diagnosed with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome or ataxia telangiectasia 11 Part C only: Current malignancies of other types, with the exception of adequately treated cone-biopsied in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri and basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. Subjects with prior malignancies that have been in remission for less than 3 years are excluded. 12 Current therapy: a Subjects receiving treatment with medications that are known to be strong inhibitors or inducers of cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A4) that cannot be discontinued at least 1 week before first dose of study drug and for the duration of the study b For parts B1, B2 and C: subjects receiving treatment with ototoxic or nephrotoxic medications that cannot be discontinued at least 7 days before first dose of study drug and through the Safety Follow up Visit. Inadvertent or short term use on study will not cause a subject to be ineligible. If a short course of therapy with nephrotoxic or ototoxic medication is anticipated and required, carboplatin should be discontinued until 7 days after this course is completed.
