E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients will be excluded from the study if they meet any of the following criteria:

(Patients who have completed radiotherapy for brain metastases at least 2 weeks prior to receiving study treatment, who are now non symptomatic or on stable dose of steroids or anticonvulsants during the 2 weeks prior to receiving study treatment, are eligible). Patients with asymptomatic brain metastases without need for treatment with steroids and who have not been treated with radiotherapy are eligible. This exception does not include carcinomatous meningitis which is excluded regardless of clinical stability.

[23]The patient has a history of significant neurological or psychiatric disorders, including dementia, seizures, or bipolar disorder, potentially precluding protocol compliance.

[25]The patient has any other serious uncontrolled medical disorders or psychological conditions that would, in the opinion of the investigator, limit the patient’s ability to complete the study or sign an informed consent document.
