• •Uncontrolled tumor-related pain. Participants requiring pain medication must be on a stable regimen at study entry.
• •* Symptomatic lesions (e.g. bone metastases or metastases causing nerve impingement amenable to palliative radiotherapy should be treated prior to enrollment. Patients should be recovered from the effects of radiation. There is no required minimum recovery period.)
