15. Had systemic anti-cancer treatment other than hydroxyurea and anagrelide less than 2 weeks (or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer) before the first dose of study drug. NOTE: Hydroxyurea and anagrelide are permitted up to 24 hours prior to start of study drug.
16. Had any investigational agent (whether as cancer treatment or not) less than 2 weeks (or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer) before the first dose of study drug

Female patients with β-hCG values that are within the range for pregnancy but are not pregnant (false-positives) may be enrolled with written consent of the Sponsor’s Medical Monitor, after pregnancy has been excluded. Female patients of non-child bearing potential (see protocol for conditions) do not require a serum pregnancy test.
