  • Male or female patients over 18 years of age.
  • Laboratory values within the following ranges at screening:

Serum creatinine < 1.25 times upper limit of normal (ULN) Haemoglobin > 9.5 g/dL White blood cell (WBC) count > 3.5 x 109/L Platelets > 100 x 109/L Total bilirubin < 2.0 times ULN Aspartate transaminase (AST, SGOT) < 3 times ULN

  • A life expectancy of at least 2 months.
  • A negative pregnancy test at the screening visit (females of childbearing potential only).
  • Signed written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria
