analgesics or narcotics)
(3)Has received a first line docetaxel based chemotherapy of 75 mg/m²
(as starting dose) every 3 weeks schedule of administration with

including possible risks and side effects, and to cooperate with the
Investigator and to comply with the requirements of the entire study.
