- Patient has received another investigational agent within 4 weeks prior to study enrollment.
- Patient has known hypersensitivity to topoisomerase I inhibitors.
- Patient is unable to swallow a capsule or has a disease known to affect drug absorption, such as short gut syndrome or active radiation enteritis.
