Instant Checklist

Check every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).

Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:

  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Treatment with any of the following:
  • Any systemic anti-cancer chemotherapy or small molecule, biologic, or hormonal agent from a previous treatment regimen or clinical study within 21 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of study drugs. At least 10 days must have elapsed between the last dose of such agent and the first dose of study drugs.
  • Prior treatment with anthracycline in any setting
  • Major surgery (excluding placement of vascular access) within 28 days of first dose of study drugs
  • Palliative radiation therapy within 14 days of first dose of study drugs
  • Based on screening brain MRI, patients must not have any of the following:
  • Any untreated brain lesions \>2.0 cm in size, unless discussed with the Medical Monitor and approval for enrollment is granted
  • Ongoing use of systemic corticosteroids for control of symptoms of brain metastases at a total daily dose of \>2 mg of dexamethasone (or equivalent). However, patients on a chronic stable dose of ≤2 mg total daily of dexamethasone (or equivalent) may be eligible with discussion and approval by the Medical Monitor
  • Any brain lesion thought to require immediate local therapy, including (but not limited to) a lesion in an anatomic site where increase in size or possible treatment-related edema may pose risk to patient (e.g., brain stem lesions). Patients who undergo local treatment for such lesions identified by screening contrast brain MRI may still be eligible for the study based on criteria described under CNS inclusion criteria 14c
  • Known or suspected leptomeningeal disease (LMD) as documented by the Investigator
  • Have poorly controlled (\>1 week) generalized or complex partial seizures, or manifest neurologic progression due to brain metastases, notwithstanding CNS-directed therapy.
