b. Radiosensitisers and/or intrapleural administration of anti-cancer agents are not counted as a line of therapy.

9. History or presence of cardiovascular abnormalities such as uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure NYHA classification of ≥ 3, unstable angina or poorly controlled arrhythmia which are considered as clinically relevant by the investigator. Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to randomisation.
10. Female patients of childbearing potential (see Section 4.2.2.3) who are nursing or pregnant or do not agree to submit to pregnancy testing required by this protocol.
11. Any history of or concomitant condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the patient’s ability to comply with the trial or interfere with the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of the test drug.
12. Previous or concomitant malignancies at other sites, except:
a. effectively treated non-melanoma skin cancers;
b. effectively treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix;
c. effectively treated ductal carcinoma in situ;
d. other effectively treated malignancy that has been in remission for more than 3 years and is considered to be cured.
13. Known pre-existing interstitial lung disease.
14. Any history or presence of uncontrolled gastrointestinal disorders that could affect the intake and/or absorption of the study drug (e.g. nausea, vomiting, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, chronic diarrhoea, malabsorption) in the opinion of the investigator.
15. Known active hepatitis B infection (defined as presence of HepB sAg and/or Hep B DNA), active hepatitis C infection (defined as presence of Hep C RNA) and/or known HIV carrier.
16. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50%.
17. Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis.
18. Presence or history of uncontrolled or symptomatic brain or subdural metastases, unless considered stable by the investigator and local therapy was completed. Use of corticosteroids is allowed if the dose was stable for at least 4 weeks. Of note:Inclusion of patients with newly identified brain metastasis/es at screening will be allowed if patients
are asymptomatic.

20. Concurrent participation in another clinical trial with an investigational device or drug.
21. Active infectious disease which puts the patient at increased risk in the opinion of the investigator.
22. Concomitant yellow fever vaccination.
23. Current tumour bleeding. |
