a.Have a negative pregnancy test (ß-hCG) as verified by the study doctor within 72 hours prior to starting study therapy. She must agree to ongoing pregnancy testing during the course of the study, and after end of study therapy. This applies even if the subject practices true abstinence* from heterosexual contact.
b.Either commit to true abstinence* from heterosexual contact or agree to use, and be able to comply with, effective contraception without interruption, 28 days prior to starting investigational product (IP), during the study therapy (including dose interruptions), and for 3 months after discontinuation of study therapy.
Male subjects must:

11.Known hepatitis B or C virus (HBV/HCV) infection, known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or receiving immunosuppressive or myelosuppressive medications that would in the opinion of the investigator, increase the risk of serious neutropenic complications.
12.Active, uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infection(s) requiring systemic therapy, defined as ongoing signs/symptoms related to the infection without improvement despite appropriate antibiotics, antiviral therapy, and/or other treatment.
13.History of interstitial lung disease, sarcoidosis, silicosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, or pulmonary hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
14.Subject has a clinically significant malabsorption syndrome, persistent diarrhea, or known sub-acute bowel obstruction > NCI CTCAE Grade 2, despite medical management.
15.Treatment with any investigational product within 28 days prior to signing the ICF.
16.History of or suspected allergy to nab-paclitaxel, azacitidine, human albumin or mannitol.
17.Currently enrolled in any other clinical protocol or investigational trial that involves administration of experimental therapy and/or therapeutic devices.
18.Any other clinically significant medical condition, psychiatric illness, and/or organ dysfunction that will interfere with the administration of the therapy according to this protocol or which, in the views of investigator, preclude combination chemotherapy.
19.Any other malignancy within 5 years prior to randomization, or advanced malignant hepatic tumors, with the exception of adequately treated squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, in-situ carcinoma of the cervix, uteri, non-melanomatous skin cancer, carcinoma in situ of the breast, or incidental histological finding of prostate cancer (TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours (TNM) stage of T1a or T1b).

21.Any medical condition that confounds the ability to interpret data from the study.
22.Pregnant or breastfeeding females. |
