- AST (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/ALT (serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) =\< 2.5 X institutional ULN
- Creatinine =\< institutional ULN OR creatinine clearance \>= 60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal
- Morning cortisol \>= institutional normal
- Negative serum or urine pregnancy test is required for women of child-bearing potential (able to get pregnant)
