  • Major surgery within 4 weeks before enrollment and haven't fully recovered from the previous surgery.
  • Active bleeding or abnormal coagulation (aPTT \>43s or INR \>1.5 times ULN), or having a tendency to bleed or receiving thrombolytic or anticoagulant therapy.
  • Previously received allogeneic stem cell or parenchymal organ transplantation.
  • Any significant clinical or laboratory abnormality that the investigator considers to influence the safety assessment, eg. uncontrolled active infection, uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension that cannot be reduced to normal range with monotherapy, grade II or above peripheral neuropathy, congestive heart failure, heart disease (class II or higher) as defined by the New York College of Cardiology, myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to enrollment, unstable arrhythmias, unstable angina pectinis, chronic kidney disease, abnormal thyroid function and previous or co-existing malignancies.
