Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

This criterion must be followed from the time of the first dose of study medication until three months after the last dose of study medication. * Adequate organ system function defined as follows: System Laboratory Values Hematologic Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10\^9/L Hemoglobin ≥ 9.5 g/dL Platelets ≥ 75 x 10\^9/L For subjects not on warfarin-based anticoagulants: Prothrombin time/International normalized ratio (PT/INR) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) ≤ 1.1x upper limit of normal (ULN) INR (subjects on warfarin-based anticoagulant): 2-3 x ULN Hepatic Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5x ULN (isolated bilirubin \> 1.5x ULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin \< 35%) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) 1 ≤ 1.5x ULN Albumin ≥ 2.5 g/dL Renal Creatinine ≤ ULN; or Calculated creatinine clearance2 ≥ 50 mL/min; or Metabolic Fasting Serum Glucose \< 250 mg/dL Cardiac Left Ventricular Ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ lower limit of normal (LLN) by echocardiogram (ECHO) Blood pressure Systolic \< 160 mm Hg and Diastolic \< 100 mm Hg. 1.
