Risk factors for Torsades de Pointe (TdP) including uncorrected hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, history of cardiac failure or history of clinically significant/symptomatic bradycardia. h. QTc >500 msec or conduction abnormality in the previous 12 months. i. On screening 12-lead ECG, any of the following cardiac parameters: bradycardia (resting heart rate <50), tachycardia (resting heart rate >90), PR interval >220 msec, QRS interval >109 msec, or QTcF interval ≥450 msec (using Fridericia’s correction). j. Uncontrolled hypertension (Systolic blood pressure >160 mmHg or <90 mmHg and/or diastolic >100 mmHg). 11. Active infection requiring intravenous (IV) antibiotics. 12. Prior story of pneumonitis of any cause. 13. Prior thromboembolic events not attributable to a clear trigger cause. 14. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. 15. Any other diseases, active or uncontrolled pulmonary dysfunction, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug, that may compromise compliance with the protocol, that may affect the interpretation of the results, or renders the patients at high risk from treatment complications. 16. Significant traumatic injury within 3 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment. 17. Major surgical procedure (not including minor procedures such as lymph node biopsy, tumor core biopsy, fine needle aspiration or bilateral oophorectomy) within 3 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment or not fully recovered from any side effects of previous procedures. 18.

Patients with a history of any malignancy are ineligible except for the following circumstances: • Patients with a malignancy history other than invasive breast cancer are eligible if they have been disease-free for at least 5 years and are deemed by the investigator to be at low risk for recurrence of that malignancy. • Patients with the following cancers are eligible, even if diagnosed and treated within the past 5 years: ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast, cervical cancer in situ, and non-metastatic non-melanomatous skin cancers.20.
