Asthma that requires intermittent use of bronchodilators or other medical intervention should also be excluded.
  • Concurrent medical condition requiring the use of immunosuppressive medications, or immunosuppressive doses of systemic or absorbable topical corticosteroids. Doses \> 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent are prohibited within 2 weeks before study drug administration. Note: corticosteroids used for the purpose of IV contrast allergy prophylaxis are allowed.

  • Participated in other clinical trials, or finish other clinical trials within 4 weeks. Patients who may receive other anti-tumor systemic chemotherapy during the study.
  • Patients who may receive vaccination during the study, or previous had vaccination within 4 weeks.
  • Any other medical, psychiatric, or social condition deemed by the investigator to be likely to interfere with a subject's rights, safety, welfare, or ability to sign informed consent, cooperate, and participate in the study or would interfere with the interpretation of the results.
