7.1. Criterion modified per Amendment 2
7.2. Adequate organ function determined by the following central laboratory values:
a. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and total bilirubin within normal limits, ie, = the upper limit of normal ([ULN]; note that in subjects with Gilbert's syndrome, if total bilirubin is >1.5 X ULN, measure direct and indirect bilirubin.

F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 950
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 1550

Exclusion Criteria

1. Distant metastasis based on conventional imaging (clinical stage M1). Nodal disease below the iliac bifurcation (clinical stage N1) is not an exclusion. Diagnosis of distant metastasis (clinical M stage; M0 versus M1a, M1b, M1c) and pelvic nodal disease (clinical N stage; N1 versus N0) will be assessed by central radiological review.
