- Patients requiring or being treated with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers
- Other malignancies treated within the last 5 years, except in situ cervix carcinoma or nonmelanoma skin cancer
- History of interstitial lung disease
- Subjects with a history or presence of a known clotting disorder or difficulty achieving haemostasis will be excluded

- Subjects with a known history of human immunodeficiency virus 1 and 2, human T lymphotropic virus 1.
- Administration of anticancer medications or investigational drugs within the following intervals before the first administration of study drug:
- A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation to non- central nervous system (CNS) disease, with medical monitor approval.

- ≤7 days for immunosuppressive-based treatment for any reason, with the exceptions noted above for prior corticosteroid treatment
- ≤21 days or 5 half-lives before first dose of study treatment for all other investigational study drugs or devices. For investigational agents with long half-lives (e.g., \>5 days), enrollment before the fifth half-life requires medical monitor approval
- Has not recovered to grade ≤1 from toxic effects of prior therapy and/or complications from prior surgical intervention before starting therapy Note: Subjects with grade ≤2 neuropathy and alopecia are an exception and may enroll
- History or presence of an abnormal ECG that, in the investigator's opinion, is clinically meaningful
- Concurrent participation in other investigational drug trials
